Optical fiber is well known for transmitting light signals, but not for storing these signals—a requirement for advances in optical computing. A new method for creating tiny devices on the outer surfaces of these fibers could turn out to be a practical technology for integrated photonic circuits (Opt. Lett. 36, 4824).
