Researchers found a metal with conductivity and polarity that shows second harmonic generation, an optical effect usually limited to non-metals. (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by ...

Soon after unveiling the first 40Gbit/s optical active cable for data centers, Luxtera claims another first with a cable for video networks. Components vendor Luxtera spent five years being a startup, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In recent years, all-optical modulators (AOMs) have attracted significant interests due to their low power consumption, broad bandwidth, and potential in all-optical fields. Among ...

The field of active electro-optical sensing is relatively new and rapidly developing. Fundamental changes in underlying technology are ongoing, along with rapidly evolving implementation concepts.
