Recent innovation at the University of Southampton’s (U.K.) Optoelectronics Research Centre have developed an alternative approach for optical signal analysis when using sensors to monitor composite ...

The team has fabricated optical fibers using the mathematics of topology. The modified fibers are easily scalable, meaning the structure of each fiber can be preserved over thousands of kilometers.

The surge in interest regarding the next generation of optical fiber transmission has stimulated the development of digital signal processing (DSP) schemes that are highly cost-effective with both ...

The achievement demonstrates that these emerging high-capacity fiber optic networks could be used to connect optical clocks at various locations, enabling new scientific applications. As global ...
