Researchers have harnessed the light-guiding properties of spider silk to develop a sensor that can be used to determine concentrations of fructose, sucrose and glucose sugars based on changes in a ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

Tunable optical materials (TOMs) are revolutionizing modern optoelectronics. In integrated photonics circuits, precise control over the effective refractive index is crucial for unlocking ...

EXFO’s Olivier Côté digs into testing challenges — and outlines how methods are evolving to accommodate hollow core fiber's ...

- The world's first successful petabit-class transmission over more than 1,000 km using standard 19-core optical fiber, achieving a transmission rate of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of ...
