That was when a physics grad student named Robert Mears did experiments with erbium-doped glass fibers and showed that they could act as purely optical, low-noise amplifiers in the wavelengths ...

This was achieved using 155 channels with 100 Gbit s −1 PDM–QPSK modulation over 7,200 km of pure silica-core fibre, exploiting hybrid Raman/erbium-doped-fibre amplification and digital ...

It relies on the interaction between light and atoms in the fiber. Unlike erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), which boost wavelengths in the 1530-1610 nm range, a Raman amplifier can increase ...

As one section of a companies,research institutes and colleges union, DIGCO ® specializes in designing,developing,manufacturing and supplying 1.54μm laser products on the basis of erbium doped ...

So you ask a friend whether they have a bit of whatever. "Have you got some erbium oxide?" "Sure I said. I've got some up in the lab". A few minutes later my friend went off with a small bottle ...

Professors in China and California have been doping. Not in the ‘competitive athlete’ sense, no – they’ve been applying novel ways to catalyse the chemistry in solid-state lithium-ion ...

A research team jointly led by Professor Sung You Hong and Professor Jan-Uwe Rohde has unveiled a novel method for synthesizing allenes—a series of compounds integral to drug development and ...

Move fast and break things. In the early years of the new millennium, as Mark Zuckerberg was turning Facebook from dorm room hustle into a ground-breaking billion-dollar company, he adopted a motto.
