Researchers from the University of Southampton in the U.K. have teamed up with fiber engineers from Microsoft Azure to reduce attenuation in optical cables, where weakened signal power leads to data ...

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer ...

What just happened? A Microsoft-backed research team has set a new benchmark for optical fiber performance, developing a hollow-core cable that posts the lowest optical loss ever recorded in the ...
