The demand for ultra-high-speed, low-latency, and highly secure communication networks is driving research into extreme-band technologies, particularly in the terahertz (THz) and optical wireless ...

Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high-speed links between aircraft, spacecraft, and ground stations. However, ...

- Development of the world's first practical surface-emitting laser suitable for optical fiber communications systems. - Utilization of quantum dots as an optical gain medium, enabled by NICT's ...

NASA is building optical communications technologies into its networks, using infrared laser links to offer missions higher data rates than comparable radio frequency systems. NASA’s Low-Cost Optical ...

Four parties will verify bidirectional communication by equipping optical wireless communication devices on Low Earth Orbit satellites and HAPS. The National Institute of Information and ...

Inter-satellite communications via optical links are rapidly becoming the preferred means of transmission in space. This is opening up a dynamic new market for optical communications terminals and ...

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 ...
