GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 13, 2007 -- For physics and technology applications as diverse as quantum information theory and telecommunications, it’s handy to have access to pairs of photons created simultaneously, with a chosen energy. A new two-photon source devised at the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) relies on a microstructured optical fiber to deliver such pairs with great efficiency over a wide range of energy, and with very little noise from extraneous photons. A microstructured optical fiber in NIST's new paired-photon source delivers high numbers of photon pairs over a broad bandwidth with...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
