Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as ...

U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

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 ...

SAXONBURG, Pa., April 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announces the launch of the Axon FL, a fiber coupling module that transforms the Axon 920 ...

Coupling light from a 980 nm high-power diode laser into a single mode fiber can be done more efficiently by forming a microlens at the end of the fiber, say researchers in Taiwan. Forming a tiny ...

Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

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 ...

FISBA extends its range of advanced optics for fiber coupling applications. FISBA OPTIK now offers a wide range of optical components for the fiber coupling of high performance laser diodes. Together ...
