Professor Sajeev O. John was awarded the prize for his method for the processing and transmission of information by optical means. His ideas were implemented by several experimental groups around the world. If this development comes to full fruition, it is hoped that the use of electrons, in transmitting messages within telecommunications devices and computers, can be replaced by the use of light. This would lead to faster, cheaper, and more versatile tools. The whole industry of computers and telecommunications would be profoundly transformed.
