Laser Communications could reshape military space networks as research shows adaptable laser links nearing use.

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 ...

Fiber optics has been the center of all modern telecommunications with its capacity for high-speed, long-distance internet that many enjoy today. However, the continuing demand for internet traffic ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California, San Diego developed a receiver that can detect a weak, fast, randomly occurring signal. The study, published in the Dec. 11 issue of Science, lays ...

One important outcome of this work is that it could, in principle, be applied to M -ary-state phase-shift keying, which suggests that employing a quantum receiver in a multilevel modulation optical ...
