Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical ...

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 ...

Schematic diagram and microscopic observation of an optical fiber doped with rare-earth atoms. The fluorescence from the entire optical fiber can be seen. (b) Schematic diagram and microscopic ...

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) and Solar Optics, a South Korean optics application material research company, have developed a new power generation system based on ...

Researchers have shown how ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks can be transmitted across tens of kilometers of deployed multicore fiber carrying telecommunications data. Nazanin Hoghooghi, ...

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A collaboration between two research teams from Tampere University in Finland and ...
