Title :
Bell labs nanotechnologies: devices for the terabit communications networks of the future
Author_Institution :
Lucent Technol. Bell Labs., Murray Hill, NJ
Abstract :
Nanotechnology is the emerging field, which will impact almost every area of science and technology. In areas as diverse as the chemical, automotive, aeronautical, cellular, optical communications industries as well as basic science, nanotechnology is becoming the solution of choice for many problems. In this talk I will describe what the devices are, how they are built and show how they have the potential to revolutionize many application areas. I will show examples of these devices and describe some of the challenges in attacking the billions of dollars in addressable markets for this technology
