Over the years, several waveguides and structured materials have been developed to preserve linear and circular polarization ...

The $38 million fiber project connects 52 schools across the region, offering students and educators some of the fastest internet speeds available.

The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent (SHINE) fiber is flexible, emits visible light, and can self-repair after being severed, restoring most of its initial brightness.

Scientists are revolutionizing optical communication with a cutting-edge semantic transmission system that vastly improves ...

The effects can be interesting; we had no idea comms-grade fiber could leak as much light through the cladding as this, and the bend-radius limits are pretty dramatically illustrated. [Les] teases ...
