Ultrafast Data Transmit Rates a Hot Topic at OFC/NFOEC

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 27, 2007 -- Many new breakthroughs and innovations in fiber optics and associated technologies -- such as record-breaking data transmission rates, new fiber light sources for food inspection and faster space laser communications -- will be presented next month at OFC/NFOEC 2007, the largest and most comprehensive international event for optical communications. This year’s OFC/NFOEC (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference) will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center from March 25-29. More than 13,000 attendees are expected, drawn to the...Read full article

    Glossary
    bandwidth
    The range of frequencies over which a particular instrument is designed to function within specified limits. See also fiber bandwidth.
    light
    Electromagnetic radiation detectable by the eye, ranging in wavelength from about 400 to 750 nm. In photonic applications light can be considered to cover the nonvisible portion of the spectrum which includes the ultraviolet and the infrared.
    optical communications
    The transmission and reception of information by optical devices and sensors.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    transmission
    In optics, the conduction of radiant energy through a medium. Often denotes the percentage of energy passing through an element or system relative to the amount that entered. See transmission efficiency.
