If you want to go high bandwidth, fiber optics is the way to go. From trans-oceanic cables to the yet-unseen ‘fiber to every home,’ fiber optics allows a lot more bandwidth than a copper cable.

Modern communication heavily relies on encoding information onto various carriers, with laser light transmitted ...

A T-Mobile spokesperson tells CNET that "we recently launched a pilot program in select Manhattan residential buildings to deliver home internet over fiber-optic lines, using a local fiber ...

Little orange flags have sprouted along the sidewalks in Bethesda, a Maryland suburb just over the line from Washington ... Those orange flags mark the trails of fiber-optic diggers.

Fiber optic transmitters convert electrical signals into optical signals and then inject these optical signals into light-conducting cable. They use light emitting diodes (LED) or laser diodes as ...

Single mode is an optical fiber that will allow only one mode to propagate. The fiber has a very small core diameter of approximately 8 µm. It permits signal transmission at extremely high bandwidth ...

Part of the challenge is that the optical fiber inside the cladding is often very small — as few as 9 microns. That’s a small target to hit without some alignment help, which [Les] uses a ...

Figuring out which high-speed internet plan to sign up for can be surprisingly daunting when you’re faced with three different types of internet connection: DSL, cable and fiber optic.

They investigate fiber-optic and photonic communication systems, including high-capacity digital communication systems and analog RF-over-fiber systems. Faculty also develop fiber-optic and photonic ...

A mechanical device designed to align fiber-optic connectors ... A protective coating (typically 900 µm) that is extruded directly over the primary coating of fibers. Provides high tensile ...

AT&T just struck a billion-dollar deal with Corning, aiming to boost its fiber network expansion. The deal allows AT&T to ...

It carries just enough looks over from the larger Bronco while still ... Do you want a headliner that contains a fiber-optic star map of the sky on the exact date of your birth?
