NII, NTT, Inc. and NTT EAST, Inc. have successfully demonstrated the world's first automated optical transport layer control, ...

There is a fundamental difference between using transparent elements at line sites — degree two junctions with only two fibre directions — and using them at switch sites that have a degree greater ...

An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons from ...

Plasmonic structures exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics, which are benefited by the localized and intensified light–matter interaction. There have been many recent advancements with ...

Novel optical switches and modulators based on electro-optical waveguides induced in special liquid crystal arrangements have been developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed electro-optic switch that is energy-efficient, has low crosstalk and works across a ...

Driven by a need to reduce power and increase bandwidth density in data center network switches and other devices, the data networking industry is moving toward adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO).

Over the past few years, Google has been quietly overhauling its data centers, replacing its networking infrastructure with a radical in-house approach that has long been the dream of those in the ...

Applications such as self-driving vehicles, 6G mobile communications and quantum communications are pushing fiber optic ...

The field of ultrafast magnetism explores how flashes of light can manipulate a material's magnetization in trillionths of a second. In the process called all-optical switching (AOS), a single laser ...
