Current technologies to modulate light in free space are bulky, slow, static, or inefficient. Now researchers have developed a compact and tunable electro-optic modulator for free space ...

A new Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) grating modulator has been developed, offering significant advancements in optical efficiency and scalability for communication systems.  ...

Let’s think of the last time you sent data without wires. We’re not talking WiFi here, but plain optical signals. Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy wa… ...

As the world becomes more connected by global communications networks, the field of free-space optical communications has grown as an alternative to traditional data transmission via RF frequencies.

Stability can be raised by averaging a signal over a longer times, but that time is very limited – with some experts anticipating that optical clocks might soon become stable to one part in 10 18 ...
