Analog to digital conversion is currently limited in speed by noise that is inherent to electronic devices at room temperature. Faster digitizers are essential for future applications such as quantum computing, optical coherence tomography and high throughput analysis. One viable route to solving this problem is moving to the optical domain, where such noise is absent. In parternship with AlazarTech, a world-leader in the fabrication of PCI digitizers, Kéna-Cohen will study potential routes for fabricating fast all-optical bistable elements for integration into the future generation of digitizers.

模拟到数字转换当前在速度上受到在室温下电子设备固有的噪声的限制。更快的数字化仪对于量子计算、光学相干断层扫描和高通量分析等未来应用至关重要。解决这个问题的一个可行的途径是移动到光域，其中不存在这种噪声。Kéna-Cohen将与PCI数字化仪制造领域的全球领导者AlazarTech合作，研究制造快速全光学光刻元件的潜在路线，以集成到下一代数字化仪中。
