UK research company, Qinetiq claims to have developed an optical hybrid technology that can speed up development times and cut up to 50 percent of costs involved in building hybrid optical subsystems.

The new 8/400, 8/600, and 8/1200 hollow waveguides enable dentists to perform procedures in the periodontal pocket, in addition to the other hard- and soft-tissue procedures the dental laser can ...

Optical fibers provide an excellent platform for transmitting light over long distances, manipulating it and enhancing ...

Hollow waveguides that eliminate alignment issues could be deployed on satellites in the future. The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded UK-based QinetiQ a EURO 310,000 contract to investigate the ...

A recent study published in Light: Science & Applications presents a new approach to nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) using compact square-core hollow-core waveguides (HCWs) directly integrated ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA--Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have reported the first demonstration of integrated optical waveguides with liquid cores, a technology that enables light ...

Last month, this column discussed some of the fundamental concepts of selecting coaxial transmission lines. That included low-power flexible lines as well as some issues involving high-power rigid ...

For most design engineers, study of waveguide technology ended when they got their last degree. The only time waveguide comes up is to use it as a last resort in applications such as millimeter-wave ...

The first theoretical models of the propagation of an electromagnetic field in a waveguide date back to the second half of the 19th century (Hertz, Debye, Rayleigh). The technological fallout for long ...

The waveguide, a metal tube used to direct radio waves, is a critical component of satellites that enable communications. It is also one of the heaviest payloads that satellites transport into orbit.
