Researchers have created a new photonic chip technology that guides light nearly as efficiently as optical fiber. By bringing fiber-like performance onto a silicon chip, they demonstrate that light ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

Researchers have shown that data can be sent at more than 100 terabits per second (Tb/s) through a single optical fiber over 2,000 kilometers, a first for this class of long-haul transmission.

Researchers have shown how ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks can be transmitted across tens of kilometers of deployed multicore fiber carrying telecommunications data. Nazanin Hoghooghi, ...
