WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed the first fiber laser that can produce femtosecond pulses in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fiber lasers producing ultrashort, bright ...

Fiber optic technology is the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, and recent innovations are propelling its capabilities to new heights. In the past few years, breakthroughs in materials, ...

Researchers in Quebec, Canda, have developed the first fiber laser that can produce femtosecond pulses in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fiber lasers producing ultrashort, bright ...

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A collaboration between two research teams from Tampere University in Finland and ...

Laser-based data links are increasingly attractive for aircraft and space systems that need to move large volumes of ...

Single-photon emitters quantum mechanically connect quantum bits (or qubits) between nodes in quantum networks. They are typically made by embedding rare-earth elements in optical fibers at extremely ...

Development by University of Bath physicists should protect data communications, even when fiber is twisted or bent. Topological states: glass capillaries are formed into canes and then fiber. Click ...
