MIT Researchers Create Photonic Bandgap Fiber

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 10 --MIT researchers have created a low-loss optical fiber that may lead to advances in medicine, manufacturing, sensor technology and telecommunications. Scientists and members of MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics and Center for Materials Science and Engineering developed the photonic bandgap fiber, which has a hollow core surrounded by a highly confining reflective surface -- dubbed "the perfect mirror" when MIT researchers invented it in 1998. The team reports on their findings in the Dec. 12 issue of Nature. The fiber conducts an intense stream of laser...Read full article
