The world's first
“Spin Photo Detector”
that can boost data speed
for future AI
TDK developed the world’s first* “Spin Photo Detector”. This new device can be a key driver for implementing photoelectric conversion technology that boosts data transmission and data processing speed, especially in AI applications, while reducing power consumption at the same time.
Key features
- Optical detection is achieved using MTJ elements, which are magnetic elements, while conventional light detection elements are semiconductor elements.
- Ultra-fast light detection
- Ultra-fast light detection in a wide wavelength range, from near-infrared light to visible light
- Can be created on any board and on a variety of devices.
- Can be applied in fields such as data centers, optical communication and interconnect for generative AI, and AR/VR
