Operating penalties in single-fiber operation 10-Gb/s, 1024-way split, 110-km long-reach optical access networks [PDF]
We report for the first time optical signal-to-noise penalties which lead to performance degradations in single-fiber long-reach optical access networks when compared to identical dual-fiber systems.

Optical‐fiber bundles have been employed as a versatile substrate for the fabrication of high‐density microwell arrays. In this minireview, we discuss the application of optical‐fiber‐bundle arrays for a variety of biological problems. For genomics studies and microbial pathogen detection, individual beads have been functionalized with DNA probes and ...

Optical fibers are an excellent transmission medium for light and underpin the infrastructure of the Internet, but generally after fabrication their optical properties cannot be easily modified. Here, we explore the concept of nanomechanical optical fibers where, in addition to the fiber transmission capability, the internal core structure of the fiber
