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

In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers at Jilin University now report a way to measure the ...

A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists at the University of Bath, UK, to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

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 ...

The usefulness of most quantum computers is still significantly limited by the low number of qubits that hardware can support. But simple fiber optic cables – just like the ones used for broadband ...

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 ...
