Artist's concept illustration depicting the setup that converts a continuous beam of light into pulses that carry data through a fiber-optic cable.

Electricity flowing through a metal coil generates electric (purple) and magnetic (faint green) fields. This changes the properties of the substrate, which tunes the resonance ring (red) to different frequencies. The whole setup enables the scientists to convert a continuous beam of light (red on left) into pulses that can carry data through a fiber-optic cable. Illustration by Brian Long
