Of course, scaling an all-optical computer capable of 100 GHz speeds to a consumer-friendly level is another factor, and researchers will undoubtedly have their work cut out for them.

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… ...

Bridging the gap between Optical 3D Metrology and Computer Vision Research. The team's new technique integrates the strengths of PMD and SfP while overcoming their weaknesses.

The Deep Space Network is aging and needs to be replaced. Our ability to travel to Mars will depend on a reliable communications system. Can lasers do the trick?

The team fabricated 11-mm-long polymer waveguides using direct laser writing on FR4 glass-epoxy substrates. The waveguides had well-controlled core dimensions (9.0 µm × 7.0 µm), suitable for ...
