Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

DARPA has succeeded in creating hollow-core photonic-bandgap optical fiber, which allows light to travel along its length at around 99.7% the speed of light, or a 30% improvement over conventional ...

OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (TOKYO:5802)(ISIN:JP3407400005) has developed a new-type coupled multi-core optical fiber suitable for ultra-long-haul transmission, ...

- 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 ...

The one word that usually comes to mind when the topic of fiber-optic cable comes up is “speed”—the kind of blinding speed needed in high-performance computing for within-box processing as well as ...

When a spectrometer is being configured for a given experiment, one of the commonly overlooked considerations is in selecting the best fiber optic cable. While there are many different factors to ...

To carry information over long distances, the fiber must be extraordinarily clear. The magic behind an optical fiber’s transparency is a combination of material science and manu ...

If you’ve ever dabbled even a little bit into the tech world, you’ve probably heard of fiber optics. But what is it and why is it so important? Fiber optic cable is a whole new way of communication.
