DWDM, dense wavelength division multiplexing, is a new technology that, with the help of photonic components, "bootstraps" many individually modulated optical wavelengths in a single fiber and enables ...

Video Credit: FiberOptics4Sale / CC BY-SA 4.0 Fiber optic circulators are used to reduce the overall dispersion of light within a fiber optic system. In conjunction with a dispersion compensating ...

The fiber property that causes this effect is also called dispersion. The three principal types are modal dispersion, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. See dispersion.

The MATLAB-based Dispersion Calculator (DC) is an interactive software for the calculation of dispersion curves and mode shapes of guided waves in plane, isotropic and multilayer, anisotropic ...

CW Tech Days are virtual events dedicated to the topics impacting the composites industry today. Access past event recordings and register for upcoming Tech Days.

They are all made of very long molecules called polymers. Not all polymers are good for making fabric, though. The polymers that are the building blocks of fabrics are special because they clump ...

14 take away 1 equals 13, so 24 take away 11 leaves 13 meebs still in the race. Compensation is a way of adding or taking away numbers that you find easier. You add or take away a bit too much or ...

Fiber, a crucial ingredient, plays a significant role in safeguarding the health of our digestive system. Sadly, a lot of us fail to ingest the ample amount of fiber via our meals, resulting in ...

Figuring out which high-speed internet plan to sign up for can be surprisingly daunting when you’re faced with three different types of internet connection: DSL, cable and fiber optic.

Cable and fiber connections are the best choices for speed and reliability, but which is better? Here's a look at what separates the two technologies. David Anders is a senior writer for CNET ...
