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 ...

Optical fiber sensor provides simple and sensitive detection of arsenic in drinking water New cost-effective tool paves the way for household water quality monitoring, helping combat arsenic ...

The typical structure of an optical fiber. Credit: Bob Mellish/Wikimedia “Whenever you fabricate a fiber-optic cable, small variations in the physical structure of the fiber are inevitably present.

Since fiber cabling will be ubiquitous in 2109, all digital transport is done using laser light. This enables the mass adoption of quantum-encrypted data flows all the way to the host itself.

New self-cleaning optical fiber can help in monitoring environment and diagnosing cancer Date: April 22, 2022 Source: Tampere University Summary: Researchers have successfully developed a novel ...

When it comes to carrying out QKD using optical fiber, Toshiba's 600-kilometer mark is a record-breaker, which the company predicts will enable secure links to be created between cities like ...

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 ...

An optical cable captures vibrations, for instance, of seismic tremors along its whole length. In contrast, a typical seismic sensor, or seismometer, relays information from only one spot.

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.
