Distributed optical fiber sensors based on Brillouin scattering are widely used to measure strain and temperature changes along optical fibers. However, achieving high spatial resolution has ...

A thin strand of glass designed for light transmission. A single hair-thin optical fiber is capable of transmitting trillions of bits per second. In addition to their huge transmission capacity ...

Scientists have successfully transmitted quantum data and conventional data through a single optical fiber for the first time. The research demonstrates that quantum data in the form of entangled ...

A new method based on optical interferometry, to monitor structural damage to buildings hit by earthquakes in real time, is the outcome of the Foresight research project, led by the Politecnico di ...

Call us easily amused, but we think it’s pretty amazing what can be done with a microcontroller, some RGB LEDs, and a little bit of plastic. Case in point is [andrei.erdei]’s beautiful and ...

The Missouri-based company has begun construction of a network in the city that may reach as many 23,000 homes.

Introduction Fiber optic technology is a high-speed data transmission method that uses light signals through thin strands of glass or plastic f ...
