Fiber optics provides a transmission medium that surpasses coax cable in many ways, especially for long transmission runs. But now with HD-SDI, the need for high-frequency capacity and low loss brings ...

- An optical fiber with 19 cores within a standard cladding diameter was developed, enabling a transmission capacity of 1.7 petabits per second. - Randomly coupled multi-core fibers require less power ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki Ph.D.) the Advanced ICT Research Institute, ASTRODESIGN, Inc. (President and CEO: NANBA Toyoaki), ...

If you’ve ever dabbled even a little bit into the tech world, you’ve probably heard of fiber optics. But what is it and why is it so important? Fiber optic cable is a whole new way of communication.

DARPA has succeeded in creating hollow-core photonic-bandgap optical fiber, which allows light to travel along its length at around 99.7% the speed of light, or a 30% improvement over conventional ...
