Photonics, the technology that helps drive today’s telecommunications systems, offers major advances in the area of signal transmission. Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are adapting optical techniques from the photonics telecom arena to enhance U.S. EW capabilities.Optical approaches provide greatly increased frequency coverage and long distance low-loss transfer of analog signals when compared to traditional RF sy...

Researchers have designed a device that uses light to manipulate its mechanical properties. The device, which was fabricated using a plasmomechanical metamaterial, operates through a unique mechanism that couples its optical and mechanical resonances, enabling it to oscillate indefinitely using energy absorbed from light.This work demonstrates a metamaterial-based approach to develop an optically-driven mechanical oscillator.

Photonics, or the practical use of light, will be a key technology for innovation and technological development in this century, just as electronics was in the previous one. Photonics is a necessary tool for large areas of basic research and vital to many societal functions, due to rapid development in areas such as IT, energy monitoring, lighting, medicine and health.

The latest release of RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite, software for the design of photonic devices and components used in optical communications, optoelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing has been announced by Synopsys.

Josef Stockinger, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager, ADAS, STMicroelectronics, dispels some myths around the current expectations of autonomous driving.

An international collaborative of scientists has devised a method to control the number of optical solitons in microresonators, which underlie modern photonics. Photonics is a dynamically developing field of modern physics. Microresonators are basic structural elements of photonics, an integral part of almost all sophisticated optical and microwave devices. In fact, resonators are circular light traps. Microresonators are currently used for laser...

India’s only trade fair for the laser and photonics industry, LASER World of PHOTONICS INDIA, will take place this year 21st-23rd September, at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, Bengaluru.The success from 2015 with the ‘Machine Vision Pavilion’ means again it will be an attraction for visitors when its focuses on quality applications.

Light, when strongly concentrated, is enormously powerful. Now, a team of physicists led by Professor Jörg Schreiber from the Institute of Experimental Physics – Medical Physics, which is part of the Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics (MAP), a Cluster of Excellence at LMU Munich, has used this energy source with explosive effect. The researchers focus high-power laser light onto beads of plastic just a few micrometers in size.
