The expansion of fiber optics in Germany is progressing. Roads are being torn up all over Germany and fiber optic cables are being sunk into the ground. The days of copper wire and coaxial cables seem ...

Measuring attenuation in a fiber-optic cable is a vital ingredient to obtaining the maximum performance from a system designs. But, for designers, just starting to work in the fiber-optic design space ...

Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

Integration of rugged fiber optics and chiclet-based optical transceivers promotes durability, miniaturization, and modularity for aerospace and defense applications. Difference between rugged fiber ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

Optical fibers guide light between separate locations and enable new types of fluorescence imaging. Fiber-optic fluorescence imaging systems include portable handheld microscopes, flexible endoscopes ...

This map shows the three-mile, figure-eight loop of optical fibers installed beneath the Stanford campus as part of the fiber-optic seismic observatory. Thousands of miles of buried optical fibers ...
