The field of ultrafast magnetism explores how flashes of light can manipulate a material's magnetization in trillionths of a second. In the process called all-optical switching (AOS), a single laser ...

With the proliferation of fiber-optic products containing interfaces ranging from Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gbps SONET, the demand for optical testing capabilities is high. Unfortunately, so is the cost ...

As Moore's Law slows, people are starting to look for alternatives to the silicon chips we've long been reliant on. A new optical switch up to 1,000 times faster than normal transistors could one day ...

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." Wise words, indeed, for us personally. They also hold true for data centers, but in a different way. While increasing the ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS The implementation of integrated optical switches shows promises in the size reduction of ROADMs for greater ...
