Researchers in Israel have created a microscopic optical device that could simplify high-power laser ...

Development by University of Bath physicists should protect data communications, even when fiber is twisted or bent. Topological states: glass capillaries are formed into canes and then fiber. Click ...

Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

Optical fibers have become the foundation of modern data transmission, used for everything from telecoms and internet services to governmental and space applications. This is because they’re capable ...

- The world's first successful petabit-class transmission over more than 1,000 km using standard 19-core optical fiber, achieving a transmission rate of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of ...

Researchers have harnessed the light-guiding properties of spider silk to develop a sensor that can be used to determine concentrations of fructose, sucrose and glucose sugars based on changes in a ...

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding ...
