Let’s think of the last time you sent data without wires. We’re not talking WiFi here, but plain optical signals. Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy way to transmit ...

While the wind sector battles bearing failures and blade damage, a quieter revolution is unfolding at the heart of the nacelle. Fibre optic rotary joints are replacing electrical slip rings, promising ...

Integrating fiber-optic control and data transmission. The war in Ukraine has evolved into one of the most technologically ...

Intra-rack chip interconnects (scale-up) and large-scale interconnects across racks (scale-out) will become central ...

There are significantly different architectures for what are known as “atomic” clocks. Optically driven atomic clocks offer a new set of performance attributes. The optical atomic clocks use paired ...
