You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

NASA is building optical communications technologies into its networks, using infrared laser links to offer missions higher data rates than comparable radio frequency systems. NASA’s Low-Cost Optical ...

Optical fibre communication systems have revolutionised global telecommunications by harnessing light‐based signal transmission through highly engineered glass or plastic fibres. The principle of ...

Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high ...

Let’s think of the last time you sent data without wires. We’re not talking WiFi here, but plain optical signals. Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy way to transmit ...

The surge in AI-driven high-speed computing and data transmission demands has prompted major players to invest heavily in ...

Inter-satellite communications via optical links are rapidly becoming the preferred means of transmission in space. This is opening up a dynamic new market for optical communications terminals and ...
