Nature Photonics spoke to Zongfu Yu and Shanhui Fan from Stanford University about their proposed 'one-way valve for light' that suits integration on a photonic silicon chip. An optical isolator is a ...

Optical isolation and nonreciprocal devices are pivotal components in modern photonic systems, ensuring unidirectional light propagation and safeguarding sensitive equipment from unwanted reflections.

High-speed optical isolators solve various interface problems between an incremental encoder signal and a PLC, servo drive, or other input devices. Related To: AutomationDirect High-speed optical ...

Offered as the industry's first DIN-rail mountable, optically isolated, electronic module designed specifically for use with incremental encoders, isolation circuitry in this module acts as an encoder ...

Spun off from a laboratory at Inha University in South Korea, PhotoniSol, a dynamic startup, is leading the charge in silicon photonic integrated devices. The company focuses on commercializing a ...

Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for ...
