In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not ...

Traditional small satellites are limited to single-polarization. This new technology allows them to use dual-polarization, effectively doubling their communication capacity and improving performance ...

Fiber optics has been the center of all modern telecommunications with its capacity for high-speed, long-distance internet that many enjoy today. However, the continuing demand for internet traffic ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful ...

A technical paper titled “Optimizing the Photodetector/Analog Front-End Interface in Optical Communication Receivers” was published by researchers at University of Toronto. “This article addresses the ...

In the new communication system from researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, a weak optical signal (red) from the spacecraft's transmitter can be amplified noise-free when it ...
