Back before the dawn of time (or at least, before wireless tech was as prevalent as it is now), the optical port served an ...

"Because each memory unit has an independent input light source, it is possible to have several memory units working independently without affecting each other through optical power loss ...

Modern communication networks require amplified optical signals to cover long distances without losing information. Common ...

Slow-light effects in ultracold atom clouds known as Bose–Einstein condensates offer rich opportunities for storing and processing optical signals. Although the high speed of light, 300,000 km s ...

Transistors provide this isolation, but the microscopic physics of nonlinear optical processes and stimulated emission typically does not. Ideally, we want a device with separate input and output ...

Scientists have developed a compact optical amplifier based on a photonic chip that vastly outperforms traditional optical amplifiers in both bandwidth and efficiency. This breakthrough could reshape ...
