An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons from ...

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 ...

BILLERICA, MA—Optical switches are fast becoming a component of choice for telecom engineers who develop reconfigurable networks. With optical switching, you don't have to convert optical signals to ...

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 ...

The tight integration of electronics and optical functions via silicon MEMS technology goes far beyond the simple combining of LEDs, phototransistors, and similar components. With the growth in links ...
