The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

- The breakthrough leverages international-standard-compliant, cutoff-shifted optical fibers with a novel approach that triples the capacity of certain spectral regions using spatial-division ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

The prospect of exploiting spider silk's combination of optical and mechanical properties has been an attractive proposition to designers for some time. Back in 2008 a project at Tufts University ...

The study used a specialized photon source to transmit, store and retrieve quantum data, a major component of quantum data transmission. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
