A team of researchers from the University of Sydney has managed to convert the digital information carried by light waves into sound waves inside a microchip.

As reported in Nature Communications, the researchers were able to build a chip that slows down light by turning it into sound waves.

“The information in our chip in acoustic form travels at a velocity five orders of magnitude slower than in the optical domain,” 

CUDOS researchers are turning optical data into readable sound waves

  • World-first transfer of light to acoustic information on a chip
  • Acoustic buffer parks photonic information in a sound wave for later retrieval
  • Hybrid chips will be useful in telecommunications networks and cloud computing

Here is video demonstration:
