Dielectric Waveguide Betters Fiber

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Building on its wide-bandwidth, wide-angle, high-reflectivity dielectric mirror, a research team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has designed a dielectric waveguide with several advantages over optical fiber. It will be smaller, and simulations indicate that it will have lower loss, higher bandwidth and better polarization maintenance than standard, single-mode optical fiber. Results of the team's work also suggest that the design will support much tighter cable bends without significant propagation losses. The dielectric cable is similar to radio frequency...Read full article
