"chips with wave guide use cooler light, sound instead of electricity... soft glass from germanium, arsenic, selenide measures strong interactions between light/ sound... stimulated Brillouin scattering created by enhanced feedback loop between photons/ phonons (coupling, enhancing power) creating vibrations transporting processing information... 5G/6G, broadband networks, sensors, communication (satellites), radar systems, defence systems, radio astronomy, signal processing"
