As data rates in optical networks increase, designers need to pay increasing attention to peculiarities in the fiber-optic medium.One of the most important of these peculiarities is dispersion, ...

BARRINGTON, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Edmund Optics(R), leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical components, now internally manufactures short pulse optics with low group delay ...

A project from the Harvard SEAS lab of metamaterials developer Federico Capasso could help address the issue of unwanted light dispersion in optical systems. This could be a particular benefit for ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a problem that’s limited imaging and display technologies for years. By ...

Despite of impressive successes already achieved on metasurfaces, most fascinating light-manipulation effects were only demonstrated under normal-incidence excitations. The angular dispersions of the ...

Researchers have shown that high-dispersion mirrors can replace prisms and gratings to produce efficient laser output from a compact source. Ti:sapphire femtosecond lasers currently use optical ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

The information age demands fat pipes. But making fat pipes is not always as easy as it sounds. Consider our current generation of fiber optic communications. Compared to microwave systems, where ...

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 ...
