The amount of light that transfers depends on how close the two waveguides are and the distance they remain close. So, in principle, it is very easy to design a perfect beam splitter.

Waveguides are structures designed to direct and control the propagation of electromagnetic waves from one point to another. They play a crucial role in various fields, including telecommunications, ...

A team of researchers in China has now succeeded in fabricating metre-scale single-mode waveguides that boast optical losses of only 0.03 dB/cm. The researchers also used their waveguides to construct ...

Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...

IBM has created low-loss (0.3% loss over 10 microns) silicon waveguide could enable new photonic chip designs for applications that rely on visible light, and could lead to more efficient lasers and ...

Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of smart glasses, waveguides and augmented reality (AR) technology, announced today that it has fulfilled a six ...

Hollow waveguides catch ESA’s eye 24 Oct 2006 Hollow waveguides that eliminate alignment issues could be deployed on satellites in the future. The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded UK-based ...

BeamPROP is the industry-leading design tool based on the Beam Propagation Method (BPM) for the design and simulation of integrated and fiber-optic waveguide devices and circuits. The software has ...

Research team discovers two-dimensional waveguides The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State University, has discovered slab waveguides based on the two ...

The air waveguides only last for a matter of milliseconds, although that could still be plenty of time to both send and receive data. So far, they've only been used to transmit light a distance of ...
