Astrolight CEO Laurynas Mačiulis explains how laser satellite communication could ease spectrum congestion, increase data capacity, and raise new engineering and policy questions for space ...

In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not ...

Hydromea and Equinor demonstrated a real-time, high-bandwidth wireless data transmission from the seabed directly to the ...

Since the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2005 for the invention of optical frequency combs, they have become a core technology in information systems. An optical frequency comb consists of a ...

Researchers have achieved data rates as high as 424Gbit/s across a 53-km turbulent free-space optical link using plasmonic modulators— devices that uses special light waves called surface plasmon ...

Wireless laser communication systems developer Astrolight successfully performed a satellite-to-ground laser communication test using a portable OGS-1 optical ground station. Astrolight, working with ...

Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, ...
