Optical technologies are increasingly central to the growth of satellite communication constellations. These technologies not only facilitate diverse satellite networks and ground-to-satellite connections but also promise enhanced anti-interference through space laser...
Reliable data communication depends on interconnections. Conventional electronics often link storage devices to servers and switches. These take the reliable form of patch cables and panels. Yet modern performance needs are quickly eclipsing the capacities of standard...
An increasingly interconnected world with more devices online than ever before means the demand for low latency, high capacity, secure, and uninterrupted internet connectivity is still growing.1 As the world’s leading supplier of optical filter solutions, Iridian...
Spectral emission lines are unique sets of spectral lines that serve as the fingerprints of chemical and molecular species, playing a crucial role in various scientific fields such as optics, photonics, chemistry, and physics. Experts in various industries use these...
Infrared (IR) sensing is a critical technology with wide-reaching applicability. It is used to detect and measure the IR radiation emitted by objects and environments without direct contact or visible light. Since heat is the most common source of IR radiation, it is...
Infrared (IR) sensing uses infrared-sensitive optical components to detect light in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR sensing is now widely used in motion detection, machine vision and industrial automation, agriculture, and medical applications1 as it...
Data centers are increasingly pivotal in the digital world, and there is an ever-growing need for faster and more efficient data transmission. Fiber optics remain the primary method of guiding optical signals from one point to another in a data center. However,...
Internet traffic continues to grow dramatically, with new data-heavy applications such as cloud-based services a significant factor contributing to this growth. In response, the number of data centers around the globe has grown, however, the demand for the network...
Storage infrastructures form the backbone of data centers, as they hold the data owned by enterprises, government institutions, or private individuals. Various types of data centers exist to serve the purposes of different application areas, such as cloud storage,...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is now commonplace everywhere, from households to industrial settings, enabling “smart” device behavior. A smart device uses sensors to change its behavior due to an environmental factor or from information provided by particular data...
Optical filter design is crucial in benchtop Raman spectroscopy instruments and recently for handheld Raman spectroscopy instruments, which are becoming increasingly popular for rapid forensic screening, historical investigations and pharmaceutical quality control.1...
Raman spectroscopy is one of the most widely used quantitative and qualitative spectroscopic techniques and is compatible with molecular and material samples. In a Raman experiment, the frequencies of the oscillations of the chemical bonds are measured, and the exact...
