IEEE study demonstrate broadband optical signal filtering with chirped and tilted fiber Bragg grating

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

While fiber Bragg grating is widely used for selectively filtering wavelengths during optical transmission, existing techniques are unsuitable for bandwidth filtering of broadband optical signals. Researchers have now demonstrated that chirped and tilted fiber Bragg grating (CTFBG) using femtosecond laser line-by-line technology can facilitate highly specific and versatile bandwidth filtering in broadband signals. The technique may offer several added advantages in optical signal filtering beyond flexibility and customizability.

Why AI is never going to run the world

Ohio State University
Book Announcement

The secret to human intelligence can’t be replicated or improved on by artificial intelligence, according to researcher Angus Fletcher. Fletcher, a professor of English at The Ohio State University’s Project Narrative, explains in a new book that AI is very good at one thing: logic. But many of life’s most fundamental problems require a different type of intelligence.
