Newly developed hardware for making high-transmission optical fiber in zero gravity has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). Launched last week on board a Cygnus cargo ship carrying more ...

Silica-based photonic crystal fibre has proven highly successful for supercontinuum generation, with smooth and flat spectral power densities. However, fused silica glass suffers from strong material ...

Development by University of Bath physicists should protect data communications, even when fiber is twisted or bent. Topological states: glass capillaries are formed into canes and then fiber. Click ...

Researchers at Zhejiang University invented a new vertical Micro/Nanofiber drawing system, enabling precise creation of ...

The World Wide Web might sound metaphorical, but it’s actually grounded in a physical web of translucent glass filaments crisscrossing the globe. These fiber-optic cables transmit internet data ...
