Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Coherent beam combining (CBC) in fiber laser systems represents a transformative approach to surmount the inherent power scaling limitations of individual fiber laser emitters. By precisely ...

NeoPhotonics, a developer of silicon photonics and advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit (PIC)-based lasers and subsystems for high speed optical networks, has announced an “L-Band” suite of ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240105, discusses a high-resolution tumor marker detection based on microwave photonics demodulated dual wavelength fiber laser ...

Fiber optics are a means of transmitting information at incredibly high speeds; however, the technology can be used for more than just providing a fast internet connection. Researchers reporting in ...

Taara started as a Google X moonshot spinoff aimed at connecting rural villages in sub-Saharan Africa with beams of light. Its newest product, debuting this week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ...

From 1970 to today, the clarity of fiber has continued to improve, becoming over 100 times clearer now and allowing networks to connect the world. For “groundbreaking achievements concerning the ...

Fiber-optic cables on the moon could detect moonquakes, offering a simpler way to study lunar activity and support future ...

A new thulium fiber laser system may provide improved outcomes in the treatment of urinary stones for pediatric patients, compared to the current standard for laser lithotripsy, reports a study in The ...

The system, installed both in a pod and in a fairing, should be part of the Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator program. Lockheed Martin recently released a video showing defensive laser ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...
