Let’s think of the last time you sent data without wires. We’re not talking WiFi here, but plain optical signals. Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy way to transmit ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has successfully demonstrated 2 Tbit/s Free-Space ...

To test the proposed architecture, the team characterized a commercialy available FB at the standard FSOC wavelength of 1550 nm. They measured different types of losses and distortion, simulated a ...

NASA is building optical communications technologies into its networks, using infrared laser links to offer missions higher data rates than comparable radio frequency systems. NASA’s Low-Cost Optical ...

Optical fibre communication systems have revolutionised global telecommunications by harnessing light‐based signal transmission through highly engineered glass or plastic fibres. The principle of ...

Terahertz (THz) communication has emerged as one of the key technologies for sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks.

Inter-satellite communications via optical links are rapidly becoming the preferred means of transmission in space. This is opening up a dynamic new market for optical communications terminals and ...
