Researchers at Intel's Photonics Technology Lab have developed a laser modulator that encodes optical data at 40 Gbit/s. Intel's long history of innovation in silicon photonics has produced the very ...

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...

CEA-Leti, coordinator of the European HELIOS project to accelerate commercialization of silicon photonics, and its project partners demonstrated a laser and a 10Gb/s silicon modulator using a process ...

Laser developer Omicron Laserage, based in Rodgau, Germany, announced at last week's Optatec show in Frankfurt that it has created "what no other manufacturer has achieved". Omicron's new diode laser, ...

CMOS-built optical phase modulators shrink laser control hardware and power use for trapped atom quantum computers, enabling ...

Many applications require a circuit to perform pulse modulation and voltage amplification to drive a load with a train of impulses. A typical application is driving a piezoelectric generator in a ...

You can get a red laser diode pretty cheap these days—as cheap as £1 in fact. [Beamer] had purchased one himself, but quickly grew bored with just pointing it at the walls. He decided to figure out if ...
