An international group of researchers from Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden have achieved dizzying data transmission speeds and are ...

The data-transmission breakthrough was achieved by using a single laser to create a swathe of pulses -- dubbed 'frequency combs' -- which were separated by a wavelength of 12.5GHz.

Mode-locked evanescent lasers can deliver stable short pulses of laser light that are useful for many potential optical applications, including high-speed data transmission, multiple wavelength ...

Using laser beams, NASA will be able to receive and transmit information to the ISS at a much faster rate than current communication technologies.

Laser data transmission has various applications that can send voice and video data. This can be made more portable so that users can easily bring the device whenever possible. The device can be ...

Forward-looking: The US space agency will soon send a new, experimental laser communication technology into space that is expected to show potential data transmission rates that are 10 to 100 ...

Spin doctor: Markus Lindemann created the spin laser as part of his PhD work. (Courtesy: RUB/Kramer) A laser with a polarization that can be made to oscillate at over 200 GHz has been created by ...

In early 2016, EDRS-A became the first geostationary satellite to provide laser links in space, creating what ESA’s key project partner Airbus refers to as the “SpaceDataHighway”, and providing near ...

Using wide-angle infrared receiving lenses, these tiny, computer-adjustable mirrors make it possible to quickly aim and accurately shoot laser beams across mile-long server rooms to link specific ...
