Transmitting optical information through highly distorting media has long been a challenge. Atmospheric turbulence, fog, and underwater environments distort light signals, making communication ...

But the good news now is a tool is being developed to forecast these effects and predict when an FSO signal may fade as a ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have pioneered a new approach to simulate turbulent systems, based on probabilities.

Observatories in Chile’s Atacama Desert, including the world’s largest optical telescope, could be blinded by light pollution and other unwanted side effects from the proposed construction of a renewa ...

Since a 73-year-old British man died on board a Singapore Airlines flight in May, turbulence has been examined more closely. Another 71 people were sent to hospital after the Boeing 777 diverted ...

Researchers developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate.
