Optical fibers provide an excellent platform for transmitting light over long distances, manipulating it and enhancing ...

A thin strand of glass designed for light transmission. A single hair-thin optical fiber is capable of transmitting trillions of bits per second. In addition to their huge transmission capacity ...

An earlier removable, rewritable optical disk that also used magnetic technology. Introduced in 1985, magneto-optic (MO) media and drives are no longer manufactured. Refurbished drives and media ...

Applications such as self-driving vehicles, 6G mobile communications and quantum communications are pushing fiber optic networks to their limits. Fraunhofer researchers have joined forces with ...

Scientists in China say they have developed an optical fibre technology that could pave the way for real-time endoscopies of nerve cells in the brain, as well as faster next-gen telecommunications.

Altris AI, which offers OCT analysis for retinal diseases, is now expanding to glaucoma detection.With its optic disc ...

The demand for high-speed internet is growing fast, with technologies like self-driving cars, 6G mobile networks, and quantum communication pushing fiber optic networks to their limits. Researchers at ...

Increased intraocular pressure (lOP) is recognised as the principal risk factor for the development of glaucomatous cupping of the optic disc. The hypothesis that it disrupts the function of ...

The advantage of a fiber-optic solar-cell system over a planar one is that light scatters inside the optical fiber as it moves along its length, providing more opportunities to interact with the ...

Earlier this month, Chinese researchers from the University of Shanghai revealed that they had found a way to increase current-generation fiber optic speeds by orders of magnitude—that is ...
