  1. Two Vermont Communication Union Districts (CUDs) Join Forces To Forge A Promising Path Forward With Unique Fiber Broadband Model 3/8/2022

    Lamoille FiberNet (a CUD with 10 member communities) are formalizing plans together to build, own, and maintain an “open-access” fiber network that can host multiple ISPs (Internet Service Providers). 

  2. A New Amplifying Technique For Optical Signals 2/2/2022

    Weak optical signals are common in many science and technology applications. However, they are difficult to detect or process due to the incoherent noise that is inherently present in any system. PhD student Benjamin Crockett and colleagues, working under the supervision of Professor José Azaña of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), have conceived a technique for the recovery of weak, noise-dominated optical signals. Their research was published in the prestigious journal Optica.

  3. KIMS Developed Multifunctional Carbon Nanotube Fiber Technology 1/18/2022

    The research team led by Dr. Kim Tae-Hoon of the Department of Functional Composites of the Composite Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science, a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, succeeded in developing the world's first multifunctional carbon nanotube fiber which simultaneously achieves high energy storage capacity and high strength, together with the research team of professor Yang Seung-jae of Inha University (President Myung Woo Cho).

  4. Researchers Proposed An All-Fiber-Laser-Pumped Mid-Infrared MgO:PPLN Optical Parametric Oscillator 1/18/2022

    MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) have the ability to generate high-power mid-infrared (MIR) laser with high efficiency. They have important applications in the fields of atmosphere monitoring, laser spectroscopy, photoelectric detection, and remote sensing surveys. In particular, miniaturized high-power MgO:PPLN OPOs are of paramount importance.
