A team of Microsoft-backed researchers has unveiled a new type of hollow core optical fiber that promises unprecedented speed and lower latency for the internet. This breakthrough was published this ...

A research team from the University of Electro-Communications in Japan has invented a fiber optic system that transmits both data and power over the same cable. A research team from the University of ...

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer ...

In a world where milliseconds matter and data volumes are exploding, the networks that connect our digital lives are quietly approaching a breaking point. Every time we stream a movie, query an AI ...

What just happened? A Microsoft-backed research team has set a new benchmark for optical fiber performance, developing a hollow-core cable that posts the lowest optical loss ever recorded in the ...

- An optical fiber with 19 cores within a standard cladding diameter was developed, enabling a transmission capacity of 1.7 petabits per second. - Randomly coupled multi-core fibers require less power ...

Why it matters: A technological leap in fiber optics has shattered previous limitations, achieving what experts once considered impossible: transmitting data at 1.02 petabits per second – enough to ...

Florida's Relativity Networks says it has raised $4.6M in 'pre-seed' funding as it deploys CREOL-developed fibers. Relativity Networks, an Orlando-based startup focused on hollow-core fibers (HCF) ...
