As the photonics industry marches toward miniaturization, one component manufacturer plans to improve telecommunications technology with a way to create 180° optical fiber bends with low losses and small diameters. Thomas & Betts Corp. of Memphis, Tenn., introduced the technology, called the MiniBend 180, at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference, saying that it can reduce the size of telecommunications equipment dramatically. MiniBend technology enables the creation of small-diameter bends in optical fibers, leading to smaller systems and increased density in fiber networks....Read full article
