Oct. 25, 2024 — A researcher has developed a new technique using light which could revolutionize non-invasive medical diagnostics and optical communication. The research showcases how a type of ...
Accepting this suggests that optics offers no new computational capability. To be useful, the best that optics can do is to accomplish the same goals as digital electronics, but in a more ...
Fiber optic transmitters convert electrical signals into optical signals and then inject these optical signals into light-conducting cable. They use light emitting diodes (LED) or laser diodes as ...
This textbook has now been replaced with a newer edition. On 1st July 2025 it will be withdrawn from institutional access further information is available here. This will not affect customers who have ...
Fiber optic couplers are optical devices that connect three or more fiber ends, dividing one input between two or more outputs, or combining two or more inputs into one output. The device allows the ...
An Aston University researcher has developed a new technique using light that could revolutionize non-invasive medical diagnostics and optical communication. The research showcases how a type of ...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common. A 2022 analysis found that more than 404.6 million people worldwide had UTIs in 2019. UTIs happen when bacteria from the skin or rectum enter the ...
Most urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by the E. coli bacteria, which are treated with antibiotics. But some strains may be resistant to common antibiotic types. For the most part ...
One solution could come from a technology called “free-space optics” (FSO), which uses lasers to transfer data through the air. It was pioneered in the 1960s by NASA and for decades has been a ...
