Optical fibers with a hollow core, made of air instead of solid glass, are known as hollow-core optical fibers. In comparison ...

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, that transmission of ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks across tens ...

UBC researchers are proposing a solution to a key hurdle in quantum networking: a device that can "translate" microwave to ...

Ukrainian companies are increasing the production of fiber-optic drones.The drones can't be jammed with traditional ...

Fiber optic connections are faster and more stable than copper-based connections. However, the take-up rate of customers who actually book and pay for a connection falls short of expectations.

Image diagram of 19-core optical fiber. Presented as the top-rated post-deadline paper at OFC 2025 in San Francisco, this work arrives as global data traffic is projected to triple by 2030.

Optical fiber is a strand of glass that’s been “drawn,” or melted down, to about as thin as a human hair. Light passes through this glass carrying data, providing an internet connection.

Scientists have transmitted quantum and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel, meaning a future quantum internet could theoretically use existing infrastructure.
