At high power, laser light inside a multimode optical fiber is supposed to misbehave. The beam usually breaks into a noisy, ...

Japan's KDDI Research and Sumitomo Electric Industries have announced that their successful ultra-high capacity optical fiber transmission experiment has broken the world record for transmission ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. Optical scientists have found a new way to significantly increase the power ...

Over the past decade, single-mode optical fiber has become firmly established as the preferred medium for terrestrial communications. Without the vast data capacity of these types of fiber (practical ...

Optical loss testing of multimode fiber can be affected by many variables, including fiber mismatch, the type and quality of the test reference cords and the launch conditions for launching light into ...

Multimode recievers (MMRs), the high-integrity, multifunction navigation units installed on many air transport-class airplanes today, are expanding their scope. Driving this expansion are military ...
