Tiny circuits can go the distance. Researchers have mapped a noise-reducing magneto-optical response that occurs in fiber-optic communications, opening the door for new materials technologies. Optical ...

Researchers have shown how ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks can be transmitted across tens of kilometers of deployed multicore fiber carrying telecommunications data. Nazanin Hoghooghi, ...

Photon 'time bins' and signal stability show promise for practical quantum communication via fiber optics by Lavinia Meier-Ewert, Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed ...

- The world's first successful petabit-class transmission over more than 1,000 km using standard 19-core optical fiber, achieving a transmission rate of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of ...

A colorful display of plastic optical fibers Commercial optical fibers generally carry light that’s invisible to the eye. The colorful ones shown here transmit visible light, demonstrating how fiber ...
