Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as ...

U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI), manufacturers of highly durable thin film optical coatings, offers IsoSphere™ Antireflection (AR) Coated Ball Lenses in a variety of glass indexes and new, larger ...

Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.230202, discusses an all-optical ultra-long-distance image acquisition and transmission system. With the exponential growth of ...

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 ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...
