Researchers have developed a tiny unit that is both an optical transmitter and a receiver. Researchers at Linköping University, together with colleagues in China, have developed a tiny unit that is ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

Glenn Cowan and graduate students Abdullah Ibn Abbas and Xiangdong Jia present a new optical receiver design that would allow a data centre to operate and rapidly switch between two different ...

21 years ago, Bookham Technology launched what it claimed to be the first integrated 10Gbit/s optical receiver with overload protection at the 2004 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated a silicon-based optical communication link that combines two multiplexing technologies to create 40 optical data channels that can simultaneously move data.

Failures can occur in the electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers that control, protect and isolate electrical equipment in electrical power systems, also known as switchgear. When a ...

Upstream fiber links in a community antenna television (CATV) system are usually among the most difficult elements of the network to align properly. Set-top boxes and cable modems employ "long-loop" ...

An industry-academic collaboration has achieved the first optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of cubic meter volumes. With OCT's ability to provide difficult-to-obtain information on material ...
