Opaque materials can transmit light when excited by a high-intensity laser beam. This process, known as optical bleaching, induces a nonlinear effect that temporarily alters the properties of a ...
The tight integration of electronics and optical functions via silicon MEMS technology goes far beyond the simple combining of LEDs, phototransistors, and similar components. With the growth in links ...
A slotted infrared optical switch for non-contact interruptive object sensing, the OPB420 Series switch includes an infrared LED and phototransistor with both devices residing in a right-angle plastic ...
The Global Optical Fiber Switch Market is primed for growth due to rising demands for energy-efficient data management, boosted by AI and 5G advancements. Key challenges include high capital costs, ...
The field of ultrafast magnetism explores how flashes of light can manipulate a material's magnetization in trillionths of a second. In the process called all-optical switching (AOS), a single laser ...
