U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap the cable into the receptacle, and ...

Coupling efficiencies as high as 70% are possible thanks to polymer tips fabricated on the end of optical fibers. Researchers in France have come up with a clever way of squeezing more light down an ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...
