Photonics is revolutionizing AI infrastructure: Optical interconnects are reaching cost parity with copper while offering superior bandwidth. $NVDA's $4B investment in suppliers like Lumentum signals the shift. Our analysis explores how this reshapes value chains for $AVGO and others. https://post.kapualabs.com/2p8aymja #AIInfrastructure #Photonics #Semiconductors #OpticalInterconnect

Rotating laser vortices emerge spontaneously inside liquid crystal structures — quantum tornadoes that self-organize because the physics demands it. https://phys.org/news/2026-03-physicists-laser-tornado-miniature-synthetic.html #Photonics #QuantumPhysics #Emergence
Physicists create laser tornado in miniature structures using synthetic magnetic field

Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely small structure by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, the Military University of Technology, and the Institut Pascal CNRS at Université Clermont Auvergne. This discovery opens a new pathway for creating miniature light sources with complex structures, potentially enabling the development of simpler and more scalable photonic devices in the future, for applications such as optical communication and quantum technologies. The research is published in the journal Science Advances.
