The ROF10G Mach-Zehnder modulator from Beijing Rofea Optoelectronics is a LiNbO3 intensity modulator for high-speed optical communication, laser sensing, and radio over fiber (RoF) systems. The R-AM...

Adhesives for fiber optic components that perform well on glass, metal, ceramic and most plastic substrates provide excellent chemical and solvent resistance. They also can act as an electrical...

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...

Unlike an edge emitter, a VCSEL has a maximum operating power that is not limited by catastrophic optical damage of the exit aperture because its aperture is larger and its PN junction does not...

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...

Startups often can’t find the funding or the right resources to bring emerging technologies to market. This webinar will take an in-depth look at how the Luminate Accelerator is addressing...

Metasurfaces are new optical elements that allow complete control over all aspects of light such as phase, wavelength, intensity, and polarization with a single, planar semiconductor layer. Comprised...

Porphyrins have played numerous historic roles in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, in particular based on how these molecules interact with light. Some recent approaches that form new...

Optical systems often need to operate in harsh environments, including high altitudes, in space, and under water, where they are subjected to structural loads and extreme temperatures. Similarly,...

A GaAlAs laser is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is composed of layers of gallium, aluminum, and arsenic, hence...

A fiber laser is a type of laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth ions such as erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium. Fiber lasers generate coherent light through...

A detector and signal demodulator used in optical communications systems to receive a signal and often to translate it into an electronic signal.

Diamond turning, also known as diamond machining or diamond cutting, is a precision machining process used to produce high-quality optical surfaces and components with extremely tight tolerances. It...
