Optical loss testing of multimode fiber can be affected by many variables, including fiber mismatch, the type and quality of the test reference cords and the launch conditions for launching light into ...

Space is becoming more crowded and as the number of satellites increases, so too does the risk of a collision, highlighting the need for multimode propulsion in spacecraft, according to industry ...

Over the past decade, single-mode optical fiber has become firmly established as the preferred medium for terrestrial communications. Without the vast data capacity of these types of fiber (practical ...

Optical spectroscopy is a fundamental tool in numerous areas of science and technology. Much effort has focused on miniaturizing spectrometers, but thus far at the cost of spectral resolution and ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Expectations for devices in the rapidly expanding smartphone market segment are high. In addition to reliable voice calling, they must support data services over a range of cellular technologies (GPRS ...
