A team of physicists from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent has developed a new design for an ultrathin, ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

These fibers are thinner than the width of a human hair and use light to carry data. By harnessing the natural scattering behavior of light inside an optical fiber, they found they could program ...

Engineers have developed an optical fiber sensor combining a Sagnac interferometer with a fiber Bragg grating to ...

A vertical drawing system lets researchers craft ultra-thin optical fibers with nanometer precision, enabling advances in quantum tech, sensors, and lasers. Micro/nano optical fibers—so thin their ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research. A group of researchers from Washington University in St. Louis in both the McKelvey ...

Optical fibre systems transmit data by guiding light pulses through thin, low-loss glass cores using total internal reflection. Compared with metallic conductors or free-space links, they offer vastly ...

On October 21, 2026, NTT announced that it had successfully demonstrated a method for locating water leaks in underground ...
