Better Lasers for Optical Communications, EPFL and Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) Study

Physorg.com -- A new laser procedure could boost optical fiber communications. This technique could become essential for the future expansion of the Internet. It also opens up new frontiers in basic research. Long-distance, high speed communications depend on lasers. But when information is transmitted down fiber optic cables, it’s critical that the signal be clear enough to be decoded at the other end.
