World record optical fiber transmission capacity doubles to 22.9 petabits per second
From National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) 11/12/23 Highlights -A record-breaking transmission capacity of 22.9 petabits per second in a single optical fiber was demonstrated. -Large-scale space-division multiplexing technology was successfully combined with multi-band wavelength-division multiplexing technology with 18.8 THz transmission bandwidth. -Demo is a major step toward the realization of future ultra-large […]
Researchers extend non-line-of-sight imaging towards longer wavelengths
From Optica 07/12/23 Emerging technologies for non-line-of-sight imaging can detect objects even if they are around a corner or behind a wall. In new work, researchers use a new type of detector to extend this method from visible light into near and mid-infrared wavelengths, an advance that could be especially useful for unmanned vehicles, robotic […]
