As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than ...

IMRA's icon writing ... signs. Fiber laser maker IMRA has come up with a method of writing "hidden" symbols in glass that can be revealed by side-illuminating the panel with a low-power laser diode or ...

A safe optical fiber for delivering light and drugs into the body Date: October 9, 2017 Source: Penn State Materials Research Institute Summary: An electrical engineer and a biomaterials engineer ...

"In this study, we have developed a single-photon light source using an optical fiber material doped with optically active RE elements. Our experiments also reveal that such a source can be ...

In the article, a new chaotic Raman distributed optical fiber sensing scheme is proposed by using chaotic laser as a new type of sensing light source, the Raman backward scattering characteristics ...

There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes projecting a laser beam fun, even if it’s not the safest thing to do, or the most efficient way to the light from one place to ...

These aragonite crystals are arranged in micron-sized tubes that function like fiber-optic cables, guiding light with exceptional precision, while filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation that ...

"We utilize a single optical fiber to mimic the computational power of numerous neural networks," explains Prof. Chemnitz. "By leveraging the unique physical properties of light, this system will ...

Attochron’s technology, in simple terms, introduces two innovations compared to previous attempts to transfer data using lasers: it uses extremely short pulses of light, rather than a continuous ...
