(PhysOrg.com) -- Silicon is an ideal platform for integrated photonic circuits because the material is cheap and readily available. Silicon chips with an integrated laser source capable of emitting ...

Researchers have built an extended-cavity tapered amplifier laser stabilized by a volume Bragg grating that delivers up to ...

Bench tests show a tracheal tube with fibre Bragg grating sensors embedded in its cuff can detect contact with the tracheal ...

Optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are driving the trend toward all-optical telecommunication networks. With the ability to directly manipulate an optical signal, MEMS have several ...

Fiber Bragg gratings have a periodically altered refractive index to filter certain wavelengths while allowing others to pass. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in telecommunication, sensor, ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...

1.The concept and principle of optical reticle. The optical reticle, also known as an optical grating or grating plate, is an optical element with a periodic structure, usually made of a transparent ...

Fiber Bragg Grating technology bests conventional dispersion compensation fiber in terms of attenuation and bandwidth in the new 40- and 100-Gbit/s optical networks. The pursuit of faster and more ...

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...
