Ditching the Fiber in Fiber Optics: Capturing Free-Space Optical Light for High-Speed WiFi – Brinkwire
Plasmonic speed enhancements previously constrained to nanoscale phenomena are replicated on macroscopic devices.
Visible and infrared light can carry more data than radio waves, but has always been confined to a hard-wired, fiber-optic cable.
Working with Facebooks Connectivity Lab, a Duke research team has now made a major advance toward the dream of ditching the fiber in fiber optics.
While working to create a free-space optical communication system for high-speed wireless internet, the researchers…
