The device is the optical analog of the electronic transistor that forms the basis of modern electronic devices. Optical transistors provide a means to control light using only light and has applications in optical computing and fiber-optic communication networks.OverviewAn optical transistor, also known as photonic transistor, optical switch or light valve, is a device that switches or amplifies. Light occurring on an optical transistor's input changes the intensity of light emitte. Optical transistors could be used to improve the performance of networks. Although are used to transfer data, tasks such as signal routing are done electronical.
