The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), an instrument for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), has been delivered to NASA's Goddard Spacecraft Center for integration on SDO, which is scheduled to launch in December 2008.
A team from Kyoto University has demonstrated a method for dynamically changing the lifetime of a photonic crystal resonator, which in effect can trap a pulse of light inside the system. Susumu Noda and his colleagues showed that the Q factor of their system, a measure of the number of time periods of light after which most of the light has left the system, could be increased by a factor of four from 3,000 to 12,000 within just a few picoseconds.
Verizon Business will begin an aggressive rollout of its next-generation optical transport network in Europe next month. The first phase will include ultra long-haul (ULH) equipment deployed on the core backbone network routes between Verizon Business' main European network hubs in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris and Brussels, providing the first 3,230 kilometers (2,007 miles) of ULH transport in the Verizon Business European network.
JDSU today announced the release of the coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) series of OTDR modules for its T-BERD/MTS-8000 and T-BERD/MTS-6000 platforms. This solution combines several new features into one first-of-its-kind OTDR test solution for short- and medium-haul CWDM network applications.
Zecotek Medical Systems, Inc. today announced the sale of a CW single-frequency ring Dye laser system to Korea's prestigious Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) for high-precision laser spectroscopy in its Advanced Photonics Research Institute.
SURFnet, a global leader in advanced network research, is enhancing the collaborative powers of academics at universities and higher education institutions in The Netherlands using a Nortel intelligent optical solution. The network powers the showcase StarPlane project which utilises pure optical technology to deliver on-demand computing power.
IMRA has licensed a large portfolio of its patents relating to ultrafast fiber lasers to Toptica. The agreement is said to enhance Toptica's laser development capabilities and facilitate commercialization of fiber laser products from the company, in addition to further recognizing the significance of IMRA's expertise in fiber amplifier and fiber laser research.
Microfluidic devices and molecule manipulation could benefit from research into optical trapping on silicon wafers.
GigaBeam Corporation, deploying WiFiber(R) "wireless fiber optics" technology to economic centers across the globe, announced today that it has received an order for one WiFiber link from a key reseller, Solana Technologies (STI), to be implemented by the United States Department of Defense to support the U.S. Navy. The Company continues to penetrate the multibillion dollar Defense market with 27 links already sold to the Department of Defense, and more than 75 links sold to major government agencies around the world.
The sprawling Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory in South America has produced its first major discovery while still under construction. The international Auger collaboration has traced the rain of high-energy cosmic rays that continually pelts the Earth to the cores of nearby galaxies, which emit prodigious quantities of ener
