DARPA creates hollow-core optical fiber for faster networks, more accurate sensors
2013-07-18 17:35:45| Extremetech
DARPA has succeeded in creating hollow-core photonic-bandgap optic fiber, which allows light to travel along its length at around 99.7% the speed of light, or a 30% improvement over conventional (silica glass) optic fibers. In almost every fiber-optic network, light travels through plastic or glass fibers -- in DARPA's fiber, light travels through an air gap, allowing for networks that are faster, have more bandwidth, and traverse greater distances.

Sequestration was the dominant theme at SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing (DSS) 2013 in Baltimore last week. Talk of U.S. budget cuts and their impact on the defense industry was almost omnipresent during the event, starting with Monday’s plenary keynote address by DARPA Director Arati Prabhakar, who explained how the agency will approach the development of new military capabilities amidst both fiscal and threat uncertainties.
