Cloaking Approach Manipulates Light as It Passes Through a Target
Cloaking Approach Manipulates Light as It Passes Through a Target
In a novel approach to invisibility cloaking, the frequency of light waves is manipulated as the light passes through a target object. Called a spectral invisibility cloak, the new device can completely hide objects under broadband illumination, allowing full-field broadband invisibility.

Ultralow-Noise Amplifiers Show Exceptional Reach for High-Speed Optical Communications
Ultralow-Noise Amplifiers Show Exceptional Reach for High-Speed Optical Communications
A fiber optical transmission link of 4000 km was achieved using ultralow-noise phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs). This is a reach improvement of almost six times what is possible using conventional optical amplifiers. Researchers used a multichannel-compatible and modulation-format-independent long-haul transmission link with in-line PSAs.
