Fiber optic media are any network transmission media that generally use glass, or plastic fiber in some special cases, to transmit network data in the form of light pulses. Within the last decade, optical fiber has become an increasingly popular type of network transmission media as the need for higher bandwidth and longer spans continues. […]

The Evolution of Fiber Transmission in Optical Communications
Optical communication systems’ transmission capacity continues to be increasing forever. From telegraph systems carrying a few clicks per second a hundred years ago, towards the state-of-the-art, long-distance, DWDM Network systems carrying over one Tbps today, the capacity of wired long-haul systems has burgeoned in an average annual increase of around one third (or perhaps a […]
A new type of Optical Switch using a quantum dot
An optical switch developed at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) spurs the mark integration of photonics and electronics. What, isn’t electronics adequate? Well, nothing travels faster than light, as well as in your time and effort to hurry in the processing andtransmission of knowledge, the combined use of photons along with electrons is desirable for […]
