A new method of processing signals via fiber optic cables could vastly increase the distance at which error-free data is transmitted via submarine cables without additional signal amplification. As ...

Omnivision and Silicon Line, a provider of ultra-low-power optical link technology, have developed thin, flexible optical cables for endoscopes and catheters with lengths of two to five meters.

The World Wide Web might sound metaphorical, but it’s actually grounded in a physical web of translucent glass filaments crisscrossing the globe. These fiber-optic cables transmit internet data ...

It was once the most high-tech and futuristic feature you could find: Transmit sound -- with light! Lasers! A cable not of copper, but glass! Except, it was almost never glass, and was usually ...

Green lines illustrate fiber optic cables throughout California; the segment marked in red is the section used to detect the Antelope Valley M6 earthquake in 2021. As shown in the inset, the ...

Alan Martin, Engineer Extraordinaire, once told me, “You never regret adding isolation between your circuits.” While he was speaking in the context of power supplies, the same goes for isolating ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Since the first fiber optic cables rolled out in the 1970s, they’ve become a major part of everything from medical devices to high-speed internet and cable TV. But as it turns out, one ...
