New multicore optical fibers have many times the signal-carrying capacity of traditional single-core fibers, but their use in telecommunications has been severely restricted because of the challenge ...

Wednesday was day one of the two-day fusion splicing seminar at Ivy Tech Community College. Fusion splicing is the process in which fiber optic cables are connected by heat, a process often used in ...

In what could be a major telecommunications breakthrough, an engineer has developed a method for splicing together multicore optical fibers (MCFs) that could take the time consuming practice out of ...
