Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies.

A new optical microresonator chip keeps light circulating longer, enhancing efficiency for next-generation sensors and ...

A new Stanford-designed optical amplifier uses energy recycling in a resonator to deliver strong, low-noise amplification with far less power.

But, when it got into a spat with activist investor Starboard Value when the networking company refused the advances of ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...

USB is currently widely used to link between devices, but Intel's optical technology could reduce the need for other cables Intel sees its Light Peak technology for linking devices by optical cable as ...

Infinite bandwidth is a term often used to describe the capacity of fiber-optic networks. It’s an exciting concept even though it doesn’t exist in reality. Bandwidth allocation has long been used to ...

While riding my motorcycle along a long, noisy highway on my way home, I noticed a large billboard advertising TIME Fibre ...
