New research uses electric fields to manipulate metallic nanoparticles capable of producing vortices within the laser light.

However, another, less visible issue often goes unrecognized, and it has the potential to significantly compromise fiber ...

Can light itself cast a shadow? It may sound like a philosophical riddle, but researchers have found that under certain ...

A thin strand of glass designed for light transmission. A single hair-thin optical fiber is capable of transmitting trillions of bits per second. In addition to their huge transmission capacity ...

Regardless of the port types used, fiber optic couplers can be designed for single window, dual wavelength or wideband transmissions. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all frequencies and ...

An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons ...

A device called an all-optical switch could instead use light to control other light signals without the need for electrical conversion, saving both time and energy in fiber-optic communication. A ...

The .060-inch diameter fiber optic effectively gathers light to ensure that it is highly visible in bright conditions on the ...
