SHANGHAI, April 9, 2021 — A team of researchers from Fudan University has achieved robust mode matching between structurally dissimilar optical fibers, using a “reverse-tapering” approach to deliver ultralow-loss and high-strength fusion splices between standard single-mode fibers (SMFs) and ultralarge mode-area photonic crystal fibers (ULMA-PCFs). The method bypassed the need for external bridging fibers, or components, to achieve an outcome that physically brings together essential optics and photonics building blocks (optical fibers). The collaborative team includes researchers from City...Read full article

    gyroscope
    A gyroscope is a mechanical device consisting of a spinning disk or wheel mounted on a spinning axis in such a way that its orientation remains fixed regardless of any movement of its mounting structure. Gyroscopes are used to measure or maintain orientation and angular velocity in various applications, such as navigation systems, aircraft stabilization, robotics, and more. The principle behind a gyroscope is based on the conservation of angular momentum, where the spinning motion of the disk...
