The initial $3.25 billion will be paid once the transaction has been approved by regulators, expected early next year.

A polarization-switchable array could be the building block for future energy-efficient photonic computers.

Optical computing uses photons instead of electrons to perform computations, which can significantly increase the speed and energy efficiency of computations by overcoming the inherent limitations of ...

This application note describes MLX90255 optical linear array, its features and properties. It briefly describes the use of photodiode arrays, as well as a circuit diagram consisting of a photodiode ...

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 ...

Large baselines will be required in the future to perform direct imaging and, in some cases, spectroscopic observations of exoplanets. Therefore, astronomers will inevitably be led to design large ...

In less than six years, Martin Valente and Jim Burge have gone from working part time in a backyard workshop to moving 22 employees into a 30,000-square-foot optics manufacturing and research facility ...

A new study from a University of Michigan researcher and colleagues at three institutions demonstrates the potential for using existing networks of buried optical fibers as an inexpensive observatory ...

The G8921-01 gallium-arsenide (GaAs) photodiode array provides high-speed response at low bias voltage, low dark current, and low capacitance. With a four-element ...

A new study demonstrates the potential for using existing networks of buried optical fibers as an inexpensive observatory for monitoring and studying earthquakes. A new study from a University of ...
