The amount of light that transfers depends on how close the two waveguides are and the distance they remain close. So, in principle, it is very easy to design a perfect beam splitter.

The air waveguides only last for a matter of milliseconds, although that could still be plenty of time to both send and receive data. So far, they've only been used to transmit light a distance of ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing ...

A team of researchers in China has now succeeded in fabricating metre-scale single-mode waveguides that boast optical losses of only 0.03 dB/cm. The researchers also used their waveguides to construct ...

The rate at which the photons hopped between the two waveguides was used to measure the speed of the particles in the step. (Courtesy: Nature) A new experiment that measures the quantum tunnelling of ...

Waveguides and birdbath optics are the two most common near-field display technologies currently in use in AR headsets. AR is still in its infancy, and both have their drawbacks.
