It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

Cost-effective transparent connectivity is possible thanks to an optical switch core module that routes light from any of 80 input fibers to any of 80 output fibers. Developed by Glimmerglass, the ...

Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) are cardinal elements in the optical communication networks, which control the amplitude, phase and polarization of a light via external electric signals. Aiming to ...

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding ...

A Ball Lens consists of a highly transparent spherical ball, usually made of solid glass (fused silica) or another optical material with index of refraction less than 2. Most ball lenses are made with ...
