Optical Fiber Throughput Boosted Tenfold
A simple, innovative solution reduces the amount of space required between the pulses of light that transport data through an optical fiber, dramatically increasing their capacity. Optical fiber can carry data as light pulses over thousands of miles at amazing speeds, but their capacity is limited because the pulses need to be spaced apart so they don’t interfere with each other.

Nanowire Lasers Emit at Useful Wavelengths
Threadlike semiconductors can be made to emit light at useful wavelengths, demonstrating potential as lasers for applications in computing, communications, and environmental and biological sensing. Scientists at Technical University Munich (TUM) demonstrated laser action in the semiconductor nanowires at room temperature, which they say could work with silicon chips, optical fibers and even living cells.

Ultrashort-Pulse Laser Wins German Future Prize
The academic and industry partnership that moved ultrashort-pulse lasers out of the research lab and onto the factory floor was awarded the 2013 German Future Award this week by German Federal President Joachim Gauck. The prize, which includes €250,000, was presented to the team of Drs. Stefan Nolte, Jens König and Dirk Sutter for establishing ultrashort-pulse lasers as a new tool for industrial production.

Nanophotonics Expert Joins Aston's Photonics Institute
Professor Misha Sumetsky, creator and pioneer of SNAP (surface nanoscale axial photonics) technology, has joined the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT). At Aston, Sumetsky’s team will work to further develop the SNAP system, which uses small segments of optical fibers to fabricate miniature photonic devices with subangstrom precision.
