Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. Optical scientists have found a new way to significantly increase the power ...

Adoption of 1-Gbit/s ports on desktops and increased demand for bandwidth in access networks has shifted the throughput bottleneck to content providers (data centers) and enterprise backbones. A ...
