Abstract
An on-chip amplifier includes first element that curtails the velocity of an incoming light to the amplifier. A second element is doped so as to make the frequency of the incoming light equal to the electron frequency in order to allow for electron-photon wave interaction, so that when current flows through the amplifier, electron power is transferred to the incoming light, resulting in amplification of the incoming light.
