A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum computing. A new generation of ...

Microresonators formed on or within optical fibers confine light in compact volumes, enabling resonant enhancement of optical fields through whispering-gallery modes or axial photonic structures. The ...

Maintaining a long-distance relationship may be difficult for humans, but it's even more difficult for entangled states.

Integrated photonic devices—tiny circuits that use light instead of electrons—are becoming increasingly important for ...

75-word synopsis:Dr Narinder Singh Kapany, widely regarded as the "Father of Fiber Optics," revolutionised modern ...

Brillouin scattering is a nonlinear interaction between light and acoustic waves in optical fibres, manifesting as a frequency-shifted backscattered signal. In its stimulated form, this effect gives ...

Konstantin Vodopyanov, a professor at the College of Sciences and CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics, recently co-authored a study published in the journal Optica. This research examines ...

Researchers at the 4th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan have demonstrated a new mechanism for directing light in a naturally ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated the transmission of quantum information over commercial fibre-optic infrastructure, a significant step towards building practical quantum networks. This ...

Quantum internet fiber optic deployment took a major step forward as Northwestern University researchers proved that ...

Engineering physics major Katie Wootten was named a Stephen Halley White Undergraduate Research Award recipient this semester, in recognition of her outstanding research project. The award is the ...
