[...] le matériau de la «puce optique» n'existe pas encore. [...] il reste en effet à trouver le matériau idéal pour fabriquer les futurs transistors à lumière. [...] Pour l'instant, seuls les monocristaux minéraux savent remplir cette fonction de «commutateur», sorte de déflecteurs chargés de dévier les faisceaux lumineux [...]. Mais ils sont chers (un monocristal de niobate de lithium coûte plusieurs dizaines de milliers de francs), et surtout très difficiles à miniaturiser. 3, record 1, French, - niobate%20de%20lithium
