Researchers have demonstrated the smallest wavelength-tunable laser fabricated by microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology. The laser features a wide tuning range which enables ...

Using all-optical controls could speed the transmission of telecommunications data, but optical switches that can work at high bandwidths need a lot of energy to turn on and off. So the usual approach ...

As the amount of data grows, so does interest in silicon photonics. There is no better way to move data than with light. It’s faster, requires less energy, and generates less heat. The main trouble ...

Researchers in Singapore have invented a graphene-based polarizer that can broaden the bandwidth of prevailing optical fiber-based telecommunication systems. The research team invented an ultra-slim ...

Luo Jie, chief technology officer of Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Ltd Co, a global leader in optical communication, feels a sense of mission to make a breakthrough in key technologies ...

The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) is the optical networking industry’s non-profit forum for creating interoperability standards for electrical, optical, and control with the goal to promote ...

Optical frequency combs—laser sources that emit evenly spaced colors of light—are foundational, ubiquitous tools for ...

Using optically dense, ultra-cold clouds of rubidium atoms, researchers have made advances in three key elements needed for quantum information systems – including a technique for converting photons ...

While 20th-century technology was defined by the growth of electronics, the 21st century belongs to photonics. LEDs will light households powered by photovoltaic panels and filled with displays and ...

Kolkata: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) to collaborate on telecom research, standardisation and ...
