As bit rates increase to meet expanding demand, systems have become increasingly sensitive to polarization-related impairments. These include polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers,...

An optical time-domain reflectometer sends short pulses of light into a fiber and measures its reflections as a function of time. The delay of these reflections to the detector as well as their...

Just as an electronic connector provides a pluggable connection between electronic circuits, a fiber optic connector provides an optical one. The goal is joining a fiber to a transmitter, receiver or...

Optogenetics has transformed experimental neuroscience by manipulating the activity of specific cell types with light, enabling in vivo neuromodulation with millisecond temporal resolution. Visible...

Since they first appeared in the 1990s, photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), thin strands of glass with an intricate array of hollow channels running along their length, have ushered in a new era of...

Displays are windows into the connected world; nearly every consumer device today has a display and a smartphone without one is impossible to imagine. They are getting larger and more interactive in...

Since the earliest theories and subsequent experiments, the study of optical vortices has delivered striking challenges to the way scientists traditionally think of light. Optical vortices are beams...

Refers to micron-size complex machines that have physical dimensions suitable for the fabrication of optical switches for use in state-of-the-art communications networks.

Diffraction efficiency is a measure of how effectively a diffractive optical element (DOE) or diffraction grating directs light into specific diffraction orders or achieves a desired optical effect....

A method of coding information in a communications system where the shift in the phase of an electromagnetic wave represents a particular bit or character.

Data communications network in a clearly defined geographical location, and extending no more than a few miles in length. It generally takes in an office building or group of buildings, a campus or...
