The next time an overnight snow begins to fall, take two bricks and place them side by side a few inches apart in your yard. In the morning, the bricks will be covered with snow and barely discernible. The snowflakes will have filled every vacant space between and around the bricks.What you will see, says Ivan Biaggio, resembles a phenomenon that, when it occurs at the smallest of scales on an integrated optical circuit, could hasten the day when the Internet works at superfast speeds.
The Optical Society (OSA), IEEE Photonics Society (formerly IEEE LEOS) and IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) today announced they are partnering to combine two existing publications into one, called the Journal of Optical Communications and Networking (JOCN).
Plasmonics -- a possible replacement for current computing approaches -- may pave the way for the next generation of computers that operate faster and store more information than electronically-based systems and are smaller than optically-based systems, according to a Penn State engineer who has developed a plasmonic switch.
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) will exhibit at SCTE's first-ever Canadian Summit, in Toronto February 3-4 at the Toronto Congress Centre. Infinera has pioneered Digital Optical Networking with the Infinera DTN, a Digital ROADM based on large-scale photonic integration.
In response to growing customer demand for high-performance and low-cost GPON equipment, Enablence Technologies today announced that it will be expanding the use of BroadLight's end-to-end Gigabit Passive Optical Network Communications Controller Integrated Circuits (E2E GPON ICs) for its high-speed GPON residential gateways and optical networks terminals.
Solid-state lighting that replaces incandescent and fluorescent bulbs with light-emitting diodes can reap enormous savings in cost, natural resources and pollution, according to a recent study by Rensselaer Polytechnic I...
Physicists have taken a significant step toward creation of quantum networks by establishing a new record for the length of time that quantum information can be stored in and retrieved from an ensemble of very cold atoms. Though the information remains usable for just milliseconds, even that short lifetime should be enough to allow transmission of data from one quantum repeater to another on an optical network.
The shortcomings of conventional switching techniques and the increasing demand for bandwidth have led to the emergence of an innovative switching technique called Optical Burst Switching (OBS).
Obsidian Strategics(TM), the leader in InfiniBand range extension through its Longbow(TM) family of products, and ADVA Optical Networking, a leading provider of Optical+Ethernet solutions for data, storage, voice and video services, today announced a partnership that would bring the first-ever 100G/bits DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) InfiniBand link to the market.
With economic considerations on the minds of operators worldwide, now more than ever, it is imperative for communications service providers and equipment vendors to ensure their networks' integrity and minimize deployment risks through cost-effective testing. Recognizing this, Telcordia, acknowledged in the industry for its expertise in testing cutting-edge technologies, which has included FTTx optical systems and components, recently hosted the 7th Full Service Access Network (FSAN) Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) Test Event at its U.S. Headquarters.
