By the third quarter of 2000, the company plans to offer four wavelengths at 10Gbps.
"Installing so many optical sources is not very practical, " he says of Fujitsu's 55 wavelengths.
During this phase, stars radiate that heat, shining brightly like our sun, mostly at optical wavelengths.
Extreme ultraviolet light allows the etching process to use shorter wavelengths than it does today.
FORBES: Three Investments That Will Change The Technology Game
This handheld device measures the different wavelengths or types of light reflected from a surface.
It comprises 66 giant radio telescopes destined to observe the sky in millimetre and sub-millimetre wavelengths.
Many quasars emit strongly at radio wavelengths, so can be tracked very accurately by radio telescopes.
The loop was seen using the European space telescope XMM-Newton to study it in X-ray wavelengths.
They thus have sine waves with large amplitudes and short wavelengths, both of which make them easy to see.
Trichromatic vision involves three pigments, called opsins, that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
ECONOMIST: Smell, vision and genes: More colour, less odour | The
Confusingly, this gene can exist in two forms, which produce opsins sensitive to different wavelengths.
ECONOMIST: Smell, vision and genes: More colour, less odour | The
They can scan Earth's atmosphere every 15 minutes in 12 different wavelengths, to track cloud development.
Early versions split the signal into eight wavelengths of different colors of light.
The much shorter wavelengths at which Hubble works means it can produce finer, sharper detail than Herschel.
McDaniel says that he can send instructions to cells by changing the light's wavelengths, frequency or intensity.
From there engineers hope to use still-tinier wavelengths the "extreme ultraviolet" light waves that measure 0.013 microns.
This part of the infra-red spectrum, with wavelengths close to that of visible light, carries heat energy.
Sunburn-causing ultraviolet light, with its shorter wavelengths, bounces off the particles and never makes it to the skin.
From there the engineers hope to use still-tinier wavelengths--the "extreme ultraviolet" light waves that measure just 0.013 microns.
The design principles that make the cloak work in microwaves would be difficult to implement at optical wavelengths.
As light waves have shorter wavelengths than radio waves, the technology works at shorter distances and lower speeds.
Moreover, such a laser can be fine-tuned over a smaller range of wavelengths simply by varying its temperature.
This provides a means of switching a signal between two wavelengths a neat trick for using bandwidth more effectively.
Each strand of fiber, in turn, can carry 80 wavelengths and typically uses 40, or 400 gigabips in all.
Ten wavelengths each carry 100 billion bits -- 100 gigabits -- of information.
It might learn about light and the wavelengths of light and translate those concepts completely differently than we do.
The aperture is used to focus different wavelengths of light in different parts of a scene onto a detector.
By analysing the wavelengths of the reflected light it can identify specific chemicals.
That done, he fired light beams of two different wavelengths down the fibre.
So far, this has been possible only at infra-red wavelengths and, even then, only in a narrow range of wavelengths.
