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 ...

Taara presents a wireless communication system that enables data speeds of up to 25 Gbps over the air. The technology, Taara ...

- Development of the world's first practical surface-emitting laser suitable for optical fiber communications systems. - Utilization of quantum dots as an optical gain medium, enabled by NICT's ...

Caltech’s new fiber-like photonic chips achieve record-low visible-light loss, enabling more coherent lasers and next-generation quantum and sensing technologies.

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a new way to generate ultra-precise, evenly spaced "combs" of laser light on a ...

Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to fiber-optic cables that carry the internet across oceans. Stanford physicists ...

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 ...

A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added further along the signal path. The current source, although ...

Data center AI is driving a dramatic ramp in the growth of silicon photonics foundries: 8X growth in just 6 years, from 2026 to 2032. Scale-out is the major driver now. Scale-up will become the ...
