An advanced technology often languishes as “a solution looking for a problem” until it eventually meets up with a corresponding problem that's looking for a solution. Optical amplifiers and ...

Addressing a long-standing challenge in photonic integrated circuit design, researchers demonstrate that a miniature erbium-doped waveguide amplifier provides efficient and high-power optical ...

Within optical microchips, light finds its way through channels, waveguides, made of silicon. Light from a glass fiber, for example, is led through a structure of optical channels with splitters and ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Corporation (President and CEO: Akira Shimada, “NTT”) has succeeded in the world’s fastest 1 optical transmission experiment of digital coherent 2 optical signals exceeding ...

Imagine a dim light which is insufficiently bright enough to illuminate a room. An amplifier for such a light would increase the brightness by increasing the number of photons emitted. Photonics ...

A group of physicists from the Laser Center of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University have teamed up to create a new ...

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”) today announced the introduction of a new optical amplifier product line in support of free space optical (FSO) communications ...

- 37.6 THz optical bandwidth achieved by combining 6 doped-fiber amplifier variants with lumped and distributed Raman-amplification to cover all of the low-loss transmission bands of silica fibers - ...

The continually increasing data traffic across the globe is placing greater demands on the capacity of communication systems. A research team from Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, has ...
