If you want to go high bandwidth, fiber optics is the way to go. From trans-oceanic cables to the yet-unseen ‘fiber to every home,’ fiber optics allows a lot more bandwidth than a copper cable.

Single mode is an optical fiber that will allow only one mode to propagate. The fiber has a very small core diameter of approximately 8 µm. It permits signal transmission at extremely high bandwidth ...

Part of the challenge is that the optical fiber inside the cladding is often very small — as few as 9 microns. That’s a small target to hit without some alignment help, which [Les] uses a ...

Construction is now underway on a multi-million dollar project aimed at providing high-quality fiber optic internet to Joplin ...

A mechanical device designed to align fiber-optic connectors. It contains the split sleeve (interconnect sleeve) that holds the two ferrules together. A mechanical fixture within the adapter body ...

A thin strand of glass designed for light transmission. A single hair-thin optical fiber is capable of transmitting trillions of bits per second. In addition to their huge transmission capacity ...

AT&T just struck a billion-dollar deal with Corning, aiming to boost its fiber network expansion. The deal allows AT&T to ...

They investigate fiber-optic and photonic communication systems, including high-capacity digital communication systems and analog RF-over-fiber systems. Faculty also develop fiber-optic and photonic ...

The Navy is seeking bids for the construction of a joint communications center at the Marine Corps base on Guam.

A research group led by Professor Lilin Yi from the State Key Lab of Advanced Optical Communication Systems and Networks at ...

which is on par with the fastest fiber-optic business connectivity. But it’s been a long time coming. Founded in 2002, Attochron has yet to release any products or services, something CEO Tom ...

Fiber optic plans can be hard to find, so it is good to have options. These are the best fiber internet providers based on key factors like speed, data, availability and price. As the best high ...
