U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

“Our study marks a major step toward bringing the speed and efficiency of photonics into environments where conventional semiconductor chips powered by electric current and photonics chips packaged ...

Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding ...
