optical fibers

Telecommunications has been undergoing a profound transformation, primarily driven by advancements in photonics. Let's see how optical fibers, laser technology, and recent breakthroughs are shaping the future of telecom. Photonics plays…

Using fibers roughly the width of a human hair, researchers created a 3D imaging system with applications ranging from remote inspection of small or dangerous machines to a miniaturized and minimally invasive endoscopic tool. Their report…

Today’s endoscopes are millimeters wide with limited resolution, and they cannot be used to inspect individual cells. Individual optical fibers, however, are 10x narrower—potentially enabling much higher-resolution imaging and the ability…
