Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international ...

Laser technology is used in many areas, where precise measurements are required and in communication. This means that they ...

Fiber drones, an idea DARPA developed for its Close Combat Lethal Recon drone in the early 2000’s but never fielded, solve the radio reception problem. The drone pays out a fiber-optic ...

Optical fibers with a hollow core, made of air instead of solid glass, are known as hollow-core optical fibers. In comparison ...

AFR's 3 kW Laser Cavity Component integrates a high power (kW) laser combiner and a fiber bragg grating in a compact package that reduces fiber splicing, improves electro-optical efficiency, and ...

World's first practical surface-emitting laser for optical fiber communications developed: advancing miniaturization, energy efficiency, and cost reduction of light sources Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

Air traffic controllers in Florida briefly lost their radar after a fiber optic line was cut, but the outage didn't appear to lead to significant disruptions like what happened after similar ...

MILAN — NATO and Ukrainian officials are slated to stage a trial of unmanned aerial vehicle technologies aimed at addressing a dogged threat: Russian first-person-view drones with fiber-optic ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations ...

The Livermore team also believes fiber optic networks could also be used as a early warning system, or even to monitor stress levels on key structure like dams and roadways.
