As programmable photonics use light instead of electrons to transmit and process signals, they promise faster, more ...

In Case Study: Medical Laser System; Part 1: Stabilizing a Laser Feedback Control Loop, the nonlinear flashlamp in the laser control loop had a parabolic transfer function which was gain-compensated ...

An avalanche photodiode (APD) delivers a useful electron-multiplier gain and generally improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical communication systems. An APD is similar to a PIN photodiode with ...
