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 ...

Kyocera Corporation has demonstrated underwater wireless optical communication technology capable of short-range data ...

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 ...

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 ...
