In Sept, 2025, Microsoft Azure announced it is scaling its hollow core fiber (HCF) production by outsourcing manufacturing to ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...

Whether employing low-frequency acoustics, infrared, or anything in between, time-of-flight (ToF) systems are used for distance measurement, flow measurement, and imaging in a growing range of ...

A time domain reflectometer (TDR) measures reflections along a cable. It is similar in principle to radar. To measure those reflections, the TDR transmits an incident signal into the cable and watches ...

Abstract: In this study, the authors present an experimental and theoretical description of the use of first order Raman amplification to improve the performance of a Phase-sensitive optical time ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves to measure the frequency of quantum vibrations of electrons. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there’s a new kid on the block, the ...

In this look at transmission line theory, we will assume an RG-58 type of coaxial cable which has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. Where we let C stand for the capacitance per unit length, 30 pF ...

Coherent Corp., a leader in photonics, has introduced a new embedded Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (eOTDR) in a QSFP package designed for advanced fiber network diagnostics. This device boasts a ...
