Caltech’s new fiber-like photonic chips achieve record-low visible-light loss, enabling more coherent lasers and next-generation quantum and sensing technologies.

Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical fiber at visible wavelengths. This accomplishment paves the way for a new ...

- A world record for high-capacity, long-haul transmission in standard diameter optical fibers was achieved in coupled-3-core multi-core fiber with characteristics similar to multi-mode fibers. - The ...

Researchers at two Australia universities have collaborated to develop a way to 3-D print a preform that can be drawn into silica glass optical fibers, for new types of telecommunications networks and ...

- The breakthrough leverages international-standard-compliant, cutoff-shifted optical fibers with a novel approach that triples the capacity of certain spectral regions using spatial-division ...

Several factors are driving the popularity of optical fiber cabling. Chief among those is the growth of high-tech applications that require the massive bandwidth fiber-optic cabling makes possible.

Data center AI is driving a dramatic ramp in the growth of silicon photonics foundries: 8X growth in just 6 years, from 2026 to 2032. Scale-out is the major driver now. Scale-up will become the ...
