When optical beams, consisting of photons, travel through fibers, they cause vibrations that generate acoustic waves, consisting of phonons. The phenomenon, called Brillouin scattering, has been ...

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

Efficient free-space-to-fiber coupling of cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) is critical for long-haul communication and network node access with mode-division multiplexing. Current direct coupling ...

Optomechanical forces between evanescently coupled nano-waveguides serve as useful mechanisms to configure versatile functionalities of macro- and nano-devices. Strategies for boosting the ...

Micromirrors are micrometer-scale mirrors that are widely used in many applications, mainly in optical-fiber telecommunications, optical scanners, and optical instrumentation. Micromirrors can be ...

Coherent Corp. has introduced the Axon FL, a new fiber coupling module designed to enhance the versatility of the Axon 920 TPC ultrafast femtosecond laser for Mini2P microscopy applications. This plug ...

ACON OPTICS (TWSE: 6820), a leading provider of advanced optical connectivity solutions, showcased its latest innovations in AI optical interconnect technologies at COMPUTEX 2026 under the theme ...

Believe it or not, fiber optic cables have been around since the 1950s, but how do they work? It turns out the answer isn't that complicated.

Imagine a world without internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone on a rotary dial phone to communicate. Imagine having to drive to a store ...
