Frozen Fiber Enhances Light-Sound Interaction 1,000x
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of the Science of Light in Erlangen, alongside teams from Leibniz University Hannover and the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technologies in Jena, have cooled liquid-core optical fibers to minus 196 degrees Celsius using nitrogen, forcing the core material to solidify while maintaining its light-carrying capacity. According to the research … Read more
