Fibercore, a UK developer and manufacture of specialty optical fibers, has announced the release of two, enhanced-performance PM fibers developed specifically for next generation fibre optic gyroscopes
Researchers at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronic Research Centre (ORC) have developed a new type of hollow-core optical fibre (HCF) that exhibits the world’s lowest optical signal attenuation
Ghent University and Imec have spun out a silicon photonics-based fibre optic sensing company, called Sentea
Researchers in Austria have tested a pair of implantable hearing devices based on fibre optic technology. The technology is based on completely contact-free fibre-optic technology, which senses the tiniest ossicle movements and uses them to stimulate the acoustic nerves
The Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), based at the University of Southampton, UK, is heading a £6.1 million programme funded by the UK’s EPSRC to develop the next generation of fibre optics
