Researchers from two laboratories at ULB have realized a synthetic dimension for light using a fiber optic ring. This ingenious system simulates the periodic motion of a particle in a crystal in order ...

Raman distributed optical fiber sensing has been demonstrated to be a mature and versatile scheme that presents great flexibility and effectivity for the distributed temperature measurement of a wide ...

Believe it or not, fiber optic cables have been around since the 1950s, but how do they work? It turns out the answer isn't that complicated.

Modulation instability is one of the most ubiquitous phenomena in physics. Here we investigate the phase-sensitive properties of modulation instability with harmonic seeding in passive fiber ...

In context: Quantum computers are all about qubits, the basic units that operate according to the principles of quantum mechanics instead of the zeros and ones of today's computers. They promise ...
