- An optical fiber with 19 cores within a standard cladding diameter was developed, enabling a transmission capacity of 1.7 petabits per second. - Randomly coupled multi-core fibers require less power ...

ARLINGTON, Va. -- By twisting fiber optic strands into helical shapes, researchers have created unique structures that can precisely filter, polarize or scatter light. Compatible with standard fiber ...

Researchers from the Network Research Institute at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.) report the world's first demonstration ...

Fiber optics provides a transmission medium that surpasses coax cable in many ways, especially for long transmission runs. But now with HD-SDI, the need for high-frequency capacity and low loss brings ...

Telecommunications as an industry is often bogged down by technological inertia. Various regulations and dependencies mean that new innovations often don’t come to market for close to a decade, and ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

If you’ve ever dabbled even a little bit into the tech world, you’ve probably heard of fiber optics. But what is it and why is it so important? Fiber optic cable is a whole new way of communication.
