Laser diodes are convenient light sources, but for precise optical work their often-elliptical beam profile leaves something to be desired. One way to get around this is to couple the beam into a ...

A Chinese startup has raised $2.7 million on Indiegogo for a portable device that detects and kills mosquitoes in mid-flight ...

Earlier this spring, AMD, Broadcom, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI formed the Optical Compute Interconnect ...

Abstract: The dynamics of dissipative solitons (DSs) are explored in a high-repetition-rate normal-dispersion erbium-doped fiber laser for the first time. Despite the high fundamental repetition rate ...

Abstract: A watt-level directly diode-pumped continuous-wave (CW) Ti:Sapphire oscillator was demonstrated for the first breakthrough by a high-power green laser-diode-pumped module employing the ...

These are light years ahead of twisted copper.

The OCI MSA settled the architecture for optical scale-up. How fast bandwidth scales is a manufacturing question, not an ...

AI data centers are putting unusual pressure on the optical networking supply chain, not because fiber is new, but because ...
