This application note is all about optical receiver sensitivity which includes the possible effects on power output due to accumulation of random noise and intersymbol interference (ISI) in both ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

Researchers have developed a tiny unit that is both an optical transmitter and a receiver. Researchers at Linköping University, together with colleagues in China, have developed a tiny unit that is ...

Glenn Cowan and graduate students Abdullah Ibn Abbas and Xiangdong Jia present a new optical receiver design that would allow a data centre to operate and rapidly switch between two different ...

In many ways, high-speed optical communications are following the path that wireless technology has blazed. Of course, optical and wireless networks use different technologies to deal with specific ...

IBM researchers, together with a group working under the EU-funded project ADDAPT, claim not only to have achieved the fastest data transmission speed to date, but also to have created a CMOS based ...

Mitsubishi Electric is claiming a significant advance in the fast-growing field of optical space communications, with what is believed to be the first laser terminal that can also sense the precise ...

Failures can occur in the electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers that control, protect and isolate electrical equipment in electrical power systems, also known as switchgear. When a ...

An industry-academic collaboration has achieved the first optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of cubic meter volumes. With OCT's ability to provide difficult-to-obtain information on material ...

When manufacturing telecom line cards, you must ensure that they comply with various standards. You need to subject each card's receivers to jitter and low-power signals, and you must verify that its ...
