Nanomechanical fiber goes beyond light transmission
SOUTHAMPTON, England – A new dual-core optical fiber that can perform the functions of signal switches, routers and buffers by applying a minute amount of mechanical pressure could significantly enhance data processing and perform sensing functions in electronic devices. The University of Southampton nanomechanical fibers were fabricated with two light-carrying cores suspended less than 1 µm apart, close enough to each other to be optically coupled. “Nanomechanical optical fibers do not just transm...
