In a previous Broadcast Engineering article (“Understanding blocking capacitor effects,” August 2011), I mentioned that one of the first tasks in my broadcast engineer career was to work on optical-to ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times. Wideband optical ...

Many electricians have broadened their work model in recent years to include coaxial and Ethernet wiring for communications and data networks. This is usually seen as a good move, given the fact that ...

Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

Adoption of 1-Gbit/s ports on desktops and increased demand for bandwidth in access networks has shifted the throughput bottleneck to content providers (data centers) and enterprise backbones. A ...

I need about 5-10 meters, and the contractor doing the job never worked with fiber before so I need to provide my own pre-terminated cable. What should I look for in something that goes in the wall? I ...
