- Development of the world's first practical surface-emitting laser suitable for optical fiber communications systems. - Utilization of quantum dots as an optical gain medium, enabled by NICT's ...

Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

These systems use mechanical gimbals to redirect the optical components as needed to maintain a link with another stationary or moving transceiver. However, aircraft would need multiple of them to ...

Scientists have transmitted quantum and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel, meaning a future quantum internet could theoretically use existing infrastructure. When you ...
