(Nanowerk News) The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent years. These microchips utilise light particles (photons) in their circuitry as opposed to the electronic circuits that, in ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Engineers at the University of Illinois have found a way to redirect misfit light waves to reduce energy loss during optical data transmission. In a study, researchers exploited an ...

A team of researchers has found that a venerable audio transmitting technique could hold promise for smart cities, as well as private companies looking to inexpensively reach large numbers of people.

Process exploits interaction of light and sound waves to suppress the scattering by material defects. Transmission: Prof. Gaurav Bahl, left, and graduate student Seunghwi Kim. Engineers at the ...

Researchers have successfully measured for the first time back-reflection in cutting-edge hollow-core fibers that is around 10,000 times lower than conventional optical fibers. Researchers from the ...
