Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high ...

Last year, fiber-optic drones emerged as a game-changing technology in the Russia-Ukraine War. By transmitting data through fiber-optic cables, these drones are immune to the electronic warfare ...

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer ...

Sinead O'Keeffe receives funding from The Royal Society - Research Ireland University Research Fellowship Award, and the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant ...

The Ukrainian military is testing new drones using fiber optics on the front line against Russian forces. The low-flying drones are tied to the ground via thin fiber-optic cables that unwind as the ...

A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum computing. A new generation of ...

Abstract: Next-generation optical access networks are evolving towards ultra-high bit rates (above 50 Gbps per wavelength) and extended fiber reach architectures. This trend will likely push the ...

The downed Russian drone — the spool of fiber optic cable is visible at right but was not at first identified. When Kalashnikov subsidiary ZALA boasted that their new ‘Product 55’ quadcopter was proof ...
