We live in the information age where access to the internet is considered a fundamental human right. Exercising this right does largely rely on the technological advances made in optical communication ...

This article presents the emerging cloud-computing-oriented communications architectures that give ways to the new fiber optic communication applications. It briefly describes the emerging and ...

An optical fiber (or fibre in British English) is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are ...

In 1966, physics Nobel Prize winner Charles Kao (the 'father' of fiber optic communications) discovered optical fiber's potential for high-speed data communication. Since then, extensive research ...

Fiber optics has been the center of all modern telecommunications with its capacity for high-speed, long-distance internet that many enjoy today. However, the continuing demand for internet traffic ...

Dr. Syed Murshid's eyes light up as he flips the switches, one, two, three, and four. As the Florida Tech associate professor of electrical engineering uses his optics projector, pulses of red light ...

As data traffic continues to increase, there is a critical need for miniaturized optical transmitters and receivers that operate with high-order multi-level modulation formats and faster data ...

To foster in a new generation of high-speed communication, the main challenge is with the steps to transform electronic signals into optical signals rapidly. One company has recently made significant ...
