Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high ...

Researchers have developed a fiber neural network system that performs intelligent processing of optical communication signals directly in the light domain. This approach integrates optical ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have reported the first demonstration of integrated optical waveguides with liquid cores, a technology that enables light propagation through ...

Radio over fiber transports RF signals via optical fiber, enabling low-loss distribution for wireless networks, radar systems, and radio astronomy applications.

A new Israeli study suggests that light can directly influence materials in a magnetic field in ways scientists had long overlooked, a finding that could affect technologies from fiber-optic ...

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) and Solar Optics, a South Korean optics application material research company, have developed a new power generation system based on ...

They distribute data and can separate cells from one other. But can they adequately light a room? Photos: Fiber optics lighting the way Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

Dozens of companies are taking advantage of cheap fiber and equipment costs to build their own high-speed campus networks, instead of buying services from carriers. Marguerite Reardon started as a ...
