U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

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

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To ...

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 ...

Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

The couplers series 60SMF are high precision fiber couplers optimized for high coupling efficiency, high pointing stability and long-term stability. The couplers’ compact size as well as the ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.230202, discusses an all-optical ultra-long-distance image acquisition and transmission system. With the exponential growth of ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

According to the Optical Society of America, U.S. researchers have been able to create a practical optical fiber with a silicon core. As they were able to use the same commercial methods that are used ...
