VCSELs smaller than 0.04 mm2 for ultra-fast and encrypted networks
During the continuous quest for maximizing the protection of data, substantial research has been performed in the domain of lasers and optical chaos. Recently B-PHOT researchers demonstrated that using mechanical strain, polarization chaos could be triggered in commercial VCSELs. Their article with results on “Strain induced polarization chaos in a solitary VCSEL” was published in Scientific Reports.
Unique approach measuring nuclear fuel exploits FBGS International's Draw Tower Technology
Support of innovative research activities are key in view of ensuring the safety of future particle accelerator driven nuclear systems.
VUB Science Show welcomes 1,500 students for a journey to photonics
A team of enthusiastic PhD researchers takes the students for an interactive journey into the world of light technology. In half a day, multiple demonstrations bring them from the origin of light and photons to lasers, from the manipulation of light to optical fibers for data communication or for medical imaging applications such as endoscopy.
