An indicator of how well the entire system performs is a measurement called bit-error-ratio (BER). Acceptable BERs range from one error per billion to one per trillion bits transmitted. It is rare...

The common polycrystalline materials used for optical thin-film materials do not satisfy the requirements of telecommunications because of the instabilities caused by moisture absorption in their...

Photonic components are key elements for the information technology (IT). Photonics technology covers the generation of information (cameras, sensors), its transportation (optical communication),...

Unlike an edge emitter, a VCSEL has a maximum operating power that is not limited by catastrophic optical damage of the exit aperture because its aperture is larger and its PN junction does not...

The interaction between photons and acoustic phonons within materials, first described by Leon Brillouin, has been widely investigated to characterize the mechanical and physical properties of...

Interferometry is a powerful tool when used to characterize optical surface form errors, as well as accumulated errors, when measuring transmitted wavefronts. Opticians and engineers have many...

This is a free webinar presented by Photonics Media. Sponsored by: DRS Technologies Our speaker: Dr. Hooman Mohseni Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science...

Porphyrins have played numerous historic roles in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, in particular based on how these molecules interact with light. Some recent approaches that form new...

A detector and signal demodulator used in optical communications systems to receive a signal and often to translate it into an electronic signal.

A fiber laser is a type of laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth ions such as erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium. Fiber lasers generate coherent light through...

Laser drift typically refers to a phenomenon where the frequency or wavelength of a laser source gradually changes over time. In the context of lasers, stability in terms of frequency or wavelength...

That portion of the telecommunications network that runs from a local central telephone to the subscriber premises.

In this episode, we take you to the stage with a professional lighting designer who uses the latest technologies to create the ambience of theatre productions. And we take a look at just how...
