The PBG crystals are a new form of technology that can allow information to travel by light. ... If only we could develop a way for the information to slice through the silicon faster, then we could increase our data transfer speeds. ... It is known that electrons use a current to travel, and as stated before, the PBG crystals use light as their source of transportation. ... The PBG crystals use laser light, which in nearly all cases, is perfect. ... There are very few imperfections to be found in the laser light. ...
