Sharp Prototypes Internal Optical Wiring for Mobile Phones

The demonstration of the prototyped optical interconnection system. The substrate in the front is for transmission, while the one in the back is for receiving. Image data in the notebook PC on the right is transmitted to the transmitting substrate via a DVI terminal. Then the electrical signals are transformed to optical signals to transmit the data to the receiving substrate via a plastic optical fiber (POF). The signals are transformed again to electrical signals by the receiving substrate to display an image on an LCD panel.

Mouseing Around On a Smartphone

AT&T and Samsung recently released the Samsung Epix, a new smartphone with a 2.5-inch touch screen and an optical mouse. This new smartphone, powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, boasts of the first-ever optical mouse on a phone sold in the U.S. The optical mouse is located between the right and left soft keys, where you’d typically find a four-way navigation key. Coincidentally, the optical mouse can also serve double-duty as a four-way navigational key if you prefer.

Arts Optical (1120): Dropping raw material price might help

Arts Optical, an optical-frame manufacturer, announced its interim results for the six months ended 30th June, 2008. Revenue increased 9.9% YOY to HK$669.5M. However, with the rising labour and raw material costs, reported net income recorded a drop of 8.7% YOY to HK$74.8M. If we exclude the non-recurring items such as disposal gain/loss on non-current assets, subsidiary and net foreign exchange gain/loss, recurring net profit actually increased 12.7% YOY to HK$88.4M. The management declared an interim dividend of HK$0.07/shr (1H07: HK$0.08), down 12.5% YOY.…

Optical Fiber With a Silicon Core

Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the Optical Society of America, U.S. researchers have been able to create a practical optical fiber with a silicon core. As they were able to use the same commercial methods that are used to develop all-glass fibers, this might pave the way for future silicon fibers as viable alternatives to glass fibers. The scientists note that this should help increase efficiency and decrease power consumption in computers and other systems that integrate photonic and electronic devices. Here is a good summary by the lead researcher: 'In the past, we've needed one structure to process light and another to carry it. With a silicon fiber, for the first time, we have the ability to greatly enhance the functionality in one fiber.

Transparent compression of files on optical media

Support for transparent decompression of files on optical media has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.4.14. Here's how you can take advantage of this support when you burn your own optical media by using the mkzftree tool and the

Portable Optical Time Domain Reflectometer suits outdoor use.

November 28, 2008 - Compatible with CATV, ISP, and telecommunications fiber networks, GAO3620 can display length, attenuation coefficient, connection point, fault point and loss distribution curves of fiber, as well as loss between 2 points, splice loss, and return loss. It can measure 50 km fiber in 30 sec, automatically search fault points and create lists, and supports 2 markers as well as zooming in and out of curve details. Other features include FC/PC style optical connector and 5 in. LCD display.
