Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as electronic components via a "plug." Their development could serve as the ...

In addition to the 2, 3 and 4-axis versions, an optional pitch/yaw module allows for full adjustment in all six degrees of freedom. Other configurations are available for applications with different ...

Fiber-optic waveguide modulators used in communications networks. The modulators, which often require special connectors, work in conjunction with polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers, mostly Panda ...

Coupling light from a 980 nm high-power diode laser into a single mode fiber can be done more efficiently by forming a microlens at the end of the fiber, say researchers in Taiwan. Forming a tiny ...
