Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for ...

Optical isolation and nonreciprocal devices are pivotal components in modern photonic systems, ensuring unidirectional light propagation and safeguarding sensitive equipment from unwanted reflections.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2023.220022 considers spatio-temporal isolator in lithium niobate on insulator. Integrated photonics is making strides towards hosting ...

Quantum engineers have now demonstrated a fully controllable three‑qubit register on a silicon photonic chip, turning a ...

Marko Lončar’s group at SEAS builds isolator in a lithium niobate-based optical chip. Micrograph of electro-optic isolator chip on thin-film lithium niobate. An optical isolator created at the Harvard ...

Light offers an irreplaceable way to interact with our universe. It can travel across galactic distances and collide with our atmosphere, creating a shower of particles that tell a story of past ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-use optical chip that can configure itself to achieve various functions. The positive real-valued matrix computation they have achieved gives the chip the ...

Sporting an isolation rating of 560V operating and 4000V transient, the ISO721 and ISO721M interface devices from Texas Instruments (picture) use on-chip capacitors to protect signal lines from ...

The gem sapphire, says Peregrine Semiconductor, is a network chip's best friend. The communications chipmaker will announce next week plans to apply its own silicon-on-sapphire technology, currently ...

Light plays a critical role in enabling 21st century quantum information applications. Limited by size, engineers need to miniaturize quantum devices, which requires re-thinking certain components for ...
