PORTLAND, Ore.–Silicon photonic pulse compressors were demonstrated on CMOS chips recently by researchers at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). To be used for optical time division ...

There are few applications in which materials quality is more important than in the production of polycarbonate ophthalmic lenses. The slightest variation from perfection can alter the prescription ...

Solitons are self‐sustaining optical pulses that arise from the precise balance of anomalous dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity in a fibre. Their remarkable stability over long distances underpins ...
