Single mode is an optical fiber that will allow only one mode to propagate. The fiber has a very small core diameter of approximately 8 µm. It permits signal transmission at extremely high bandwidth ...

They use light emitting diodes (LED) or laser diodes as their optical source, and are designed for use with either single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Fiber optic transmitters can turn modulated light on ...

Theater Mode has historically allowed you to stitch together clips of you fragging out, and upload them to the web in the hopes you’ll get picked up by the likes of LA Thieves or OpTic.

Using high-frequency sound waves to make tunable optical filters, modulators and Q-switches is a well-established and convenient technological solution for many applications, reports Neil Savage.

Fiber-optic internet relies on long, thin strands (fibers) of glass or plastic which send data through light signals. As a result, you'll get the most reliable and fast internet connection -- far ...

Figuring out which high-speed internet plan to sign up for can be surprisingly daunting when you’re faced with three different types of internet connection: DSL, cable and fiber optic.

Cierra is passionate about social justice issues, fiber-optic internet and sourdough bread. When she's not researching and writing about broadband and internet service providers, you can find her ...

There is a mathematical side to optical illusions. One professor studies them in hopes of creating a safer world. Man on a roof or ladder against the wall: either way, it just doesn't seem ...

All zoom lenses in film cameras and digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are optical zoom. Digital point-and-shoot cameras as well as consumer and prosumer video camcorders have optical zoom ...

Fibre or fibre optic broadband is one of three widely-available types of broadband technology in the UK and, as its name suggests, is delivered entirely or in part by fibre optic cables.

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Warsaw, and the University of Iceland have demonstrated that by optical means it is possible to excite and stir an exciton-polariton condensate ...

Avicena’s LightBundle TM microLED-based ... fact that aligning LED-based optical links is truly “child’s play” compared to the tight tolerances of single mode based silicon photonics ...
