Four-dimensional optics is a research area investigating ... Dr. Mirmoosa adds, "In our paper, we did not take into account ...

The physical characteristics of optical fibers cause some of these wavelengths to travel faster or slower than others (Figure 1). This effect, called chromatic dispersion, can cause serious problems ...

At least until now. Before we come to the latest and greatest, let us discuss how current fiber optic technology sucks. Let's start with something called dispersion. Every material has a ...

Similarly, the normal dispersion of ULL means light pulses spread ... Vahala says "a comb is like a Swiss army knife for optics. It has many different functions, and that's why it's such a ...

New silicon nitride microresonator cuts timing jitter in soliton microcombs, boosting precision for lidar, quantum metrology, ...

The amount of dispersion depends on the type of fiber, the fiber length and the nature of the optical signal. The more dispersion, the more difficult it is to distinguish between adjacent pulses.

(Optics Express 14 9750) "This mode of operation gives a per-pulse energy that is an order of magnitude greater than a cavity-dumped laser operating in standard negative dispersion mode," Henry ...
