The mid-infrared spectral region offers an expansive window for applications including molecular spectroscopy, environmental monitoring and biomedical imaging. Supercontinuum generation in this domain ...

As data rates in optical networks increase, designers need to pay increasing attention to peculiarities in the fiber-optic medium.One of the most important of these peculiarities is dispersion, ...

A new book on infrared spectroscopy picks up where all previous books leave off. Jena-based scientist PD Dr. Thomas Mayerhöfer has written the first book on infrared spectroscopy that explains spectra ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

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 ...

Infinite bandwidth is a term often used to describe the capacity of fiber-optic networks. It’s an exciting concept even though it doesn’t exist in reality. Bandwidth allocation has long been used to ...

The efficient and even dispersion of nanoparticles in the fabrication of polymer nanocomposite is considered an industry-wide challenge. The dispersion quality in these systems is paramount to ...
