Neighbors near Mountain Island Lake are concerned after a sinkhole has popped up—again.Resident Rick Schroeder says it ...

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 ...

He fitted the holes in the table with two big bundles of optical fibers since one bundle couldn’t quite cover the entire thing. To light the cables, he built a pair of 4-LED illuminators ...

According to quantum physics, a black hole is not completely black ... now developed a laboratory analogue using a microstructured optical fibre. They created 70-fs non-dispersive pulses inside ...

These specialized optical fibers incorporate a microstructured arrangement of material in their cross-section, typically in the form of air holes running along the fiber's length. This unique ...

the other end plugs into a block of aluminum with a 35 by 7 matrix of similar holes. The small block is supported above the baseplate by standoffs, but it looks like the graceful bundle of fibers ...

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 ...
