UT researchers have demonstrated ultra-pure radio signals on a photonic chip by strengthening light–sound interaction more than 200x, addressing a long-standing challenge in integrated photonics.

At the centre of the work: a phenomenon the researchers describe as “mini-earthquakes”—surface acoustic waves that travel along the chip and enable a more efficient coupling between optical and acoustic signals.
