This advancement could transform high-speed data networks, 6G communications, and advanced imaging technologies.

Humans typically blink 4 times per second, equivalent to a frequency of 4 Hz. Blinking at a rate of 1 billion times per second, or 1 GHz, is not possible for a human being. But this is the current ...

Swiss scientists have achieved a massive breakthrough after successfully transmitting data at over a terahertz frequency for the first time using a brand-new plasmonic modulator. The device, which ...

Plasmonic modulators are tiny components that convert electrical signals into optical signals in order to transport them through optical fibers. A modulator of this kind had never managed to transmit ...

Now, researchers from the group led by Jürg Leuthold, Professor of Photonics and Communications at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, have succeeded in doing just that. Previous modulators could only convert ...

A modulator developed by researchers from ETH Zurich has broken the terahertz mark. The ultrafast component efficiently ...

Modulators can be used to convert electrical signals into optical signals. ETH Zurich researchers have presented a new speed record: data transmission with a frequency of over a terahertz. The ...

The frequency around 1 THz between radio waves and light is called the terahertz band (or submillimeter waveband, far infrared), and has yet to be developed. Light sources and detectors that generate ...

A modulator has now broken the terahertz mark. The ultrafast component efficiently transmits large volumes of data into the fiber-optic network in a short space of time. Plasmonic modulators are ...
