A team from the University of Central Florida claim to have devised instrumentation that effectively functions as an optical oscilloscope. The point of the new instrumentation is to measure transient optical fields. The research team says its new technique is capable of resolving the electric field oscillations of a single-shot laser light pulse with sub-femtosecond […]

Researchers get a charge out of measuring eels with battery powered oscilloscopes
Next time you find yourself swimming around with electric eels, try grabbing one and then put the leads of a battery powered oscilloscope on its head and tail. According to University of Central Florida zoology professor Will Crampton, you’ll probably measure a voltage in the 700-V range. Crampton and his associates went to the rivers […]
Researchers demonstrate first data transmission through terahertz multiplexer
Researchers are heralding a technology demonstration as a predecessor to the next generation of ultra-high bandwidth wireless communications links. A research team writing in the journal Nature Communications, reported the first transmission of two real-time video signals through a terahertz multiplexer at an aggregate data rate of 50 gbps, some 100x faster than cellular networks.
