Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation has developed an ultra-compact semiconductor laser (LEAP laser) enabling 10-Gbit/s data transmission with the world's lowest energy consumption. The energy consumption for 1-bit data transmission is 5.5 fJ, which is less than one-tenth that of conventional semiconductor lasers.
