Propagation of light in multimode optical fibers usually gives a spatial and temporal randomization of the transmitted field similar to the propagation through scattering media. Randomization still ...

Fiber optic cables make up the backbone of modern communications, carrying data and phone calls across countries and under oceans. But an ever-expanding demand for data—from streaming movies to ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton in England have produced optical fibers that can transfer data at 99.7% of the universe's speed limit: The speed of light. The researchers have used these ...

Whether you’re reading this story on a cell phone, tablet, or laptop, it comes to you courtesy of fiber optics. Even if you’re reading it on paper, fiber optics were involved at some point. The words ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...

[Peter] has finished up his fiber optic microscope light source. When we last visited [Peter] he created a dimmer circuit for a 10 watt LED. That LED driver has now found its final home in [Peter’s] ...

PARIS — Fluke Networks announced the Fiber OneShot optical test set, an innovative, pocket-size instrument that greatly simplifies the traditionally complex task of fiber testing at the telecom ...

If you’ve ever dabbled even a little bit into the tech world, you’ve probably heard of fiber optics. But what is it and why is it so important? Fiber optic cable is a whole new way of communication.

An ongoing project to install fiber optic cable to increase bandwidth and data transmission speeds is shedding light on how two federal agencies are partnering to reduce costs and improve ...
