New research uses electric fields to manipulate metallic nanoparticles capable of producing vortices within the laser light.

This advancement could advance data transmission capabilities in fields requiring light-based encoding, such as ...

and explains the design decisions he’s made — from splicing fiber optics himself, to building a PC to do routing instead of getting a hardware Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) equipped router.

Part of the challenge is that the optical fiber inside the cladding is often very small — as few as 9 microns. That’s a small target to hit without some alignment help, which [Les] uses a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a network connection between quantum processors over metropolitan distances. Their result marks a key advance from early research networks in the lab towards a future ...

starting with the fact that it’s comparatively cheaper than laying fiber optics cables. A typical Attochron hardware package ...

It puts together all the important elements needed for laser and fiber optic spectroscopy, in particular for gas sensing applications. With lots of scientific insights, rigorous theoretical analysis ...

AFL, an industry-leading manufacturer of fiber optic cable, connectivity, accessories and equipment, today announced the ...
