Circuits that carry signals via visible and infrared light rather than electric currents are desirable for many applications because they transmit data faster and use less energy. The problem is that ...

NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TY;9432), today announced that members of its Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab, in ...

Waveguides are structures designed to direct and control the propagation of electromagnetic waves from one point to another. They play a crucial role in various fields, including telecommunications, ...

For most design engineers, study of waveguide technology ended when they got their last degree. The only time waveguide comes up is to use it as a last resort in applications such as millimeter-wave ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical ...

Traditional wired systems have their own limitations in industrial settings. For example, conductor bars are restricted to analog signals, festoons and cable reels are limited to 330 feet for Ethernet ...
