In a previous Broadcast Engineering article (“Understanding blocking capacitor effects,” August 2011), I mentioned that one of the first tasks in my broadcast engineer career was to work on optical-to ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. Optical scientists have found a new way to significantly increase the power ...

Japan's KDDI Research and Sumitomo Electric Industries have announced that their successful ultra-high capacity optical fiber transmission experiment has broken the world record for transmission ...

A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times. Wideband optical ...

Many electricians have broadened their work model in recent years to include coaxial and Ethernet wiring for communications and data networks. This is usually seen as a good move, given the fact that ...

Multimode fiber (MMF) consists of a light-guiding core embedded in a cladding with a diameter of typically only 125 µm, about the thickness of a human hair. Unlike single mode fiber, which has a core ...

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 ...

Researchers in Israel have created a microscopic optical device that could simplify high-power laser systems. The technology efficiently merges light from dozens of semiconductor lasers into a single ...
