The AQ6373 Optical Spectrum Analyzer measures wavelengths ranging from 350 nm to 1,200 nm. With free space optical inputs, it handles light from large core, multimode, and single-mode fibers without ...

Photonics. It’s a word to know. This technology uses light instead of electricity. It’s fast; it’s versatile; and it’s poised to be the next major advancement in human technology. So far, photonics ...

Light has the characteristics of both a wave and a particle. Figure 1 shows the wavelengths of red and blue light. The distance between the peaks of the wave is measured in nanometers (nm). As that ...

Researchers in Quebec, Canda, have developed the first fiber laser that can produce femtosecond pulses in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fiber lasers producing ultrashort, bright ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

We are faced with a global epidemic of myopia (short-sightedness) because we are deprived of deep violet light (360-400 nm). Myopia is projected to rise from 23 to 50 percent of the world’s population ...
