From QKD to teleportation, quantum technologies are increasingly operating alongside classical data in deployed fiber infrastructure.
Recent breakthroughs suggest that partially coherent light may outperform coherent light in some applications of optical communications and information processing.
A project to fire tiny spacecraft with futuristic sails to our next-nearest star using a huge laser appears to have bitten the dust. But some scientists still see photonics as a path to interstellar travel.
Advanced laser technology stands behind one of the most common consumer products—displays. They are key to industrial production of flexible OLED and microLED screens.
