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 way to transmit ...
Figure 1: NICT's 7.4 km, 2 Tbit/s horizontal propagation experiment (April 2025). The ST terminal was used as the transmitter and the FX terminal as the receiver. The terminals exchanged pseudo-random ...
Since the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2005 for the invention of optical frequency combs, they have become a core technology in information systems. An optical frequency comb consists of a ...
A silicon-lithium niobate metasurface controls light through air at gigahertz speeds, advancing compact systems for optical communication and signal routing. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical systems that ...
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) optical modulators are crucial in next-generation technologies such as free-space optical communication and LiDAR, but existing designs struggle with balancing ...
A tunable metasurface can control optical light in space and time, offering a path toward new ways of wirelessly and securely transmitting large amounts of data both on Earth and in space. It is a ...
Expo in Copenhagen, Denmark, showcases photonic innovations from big name suppliers. ECOC 2025 hosted 340 companies and more than 8300 attendees. The three-day ECOC Exhibition 2025, focused on optical ...
