From the article:

In the future, research combining electrotechnology and photonics will play a crucial role in the (further) development of the Internet of Things, technical medical equipment, new computer chips, and a wide range of autonomous systems. The development in these areas is expected to increasingly involve quantum technology as a basis for designing new sensors and components.  

 

To ensure DTU a position of strength in this area, the competences within electronics, photonics, acoustics, and autonomous systems have been joined under one organizational unit: DTU Electro.

From the article:
Researchers from ETH Zurich have achieved what scientists have been attempting to do for some 20 years: in their laboratory work as part of European Horizon 2020 research projects, they have manufactured a chip on which fast electronic signals can be converted directly into ultrafast light signals—with practically no loss of signal quality. This represents a significant breakthrough in terms of the efficiency of optical communication infrastructures that use light to transmit data, such as fiber optic networks.
