Report: Optical rotors — Lightwave transmission across rotating interfaces
The rapid evolution of lightwave technology into today's communication networks, military systems, and industrial applications has spawned a new generation of optical components. One such device, the optical rotor, provides for the transmission of photonic signals across a rotating interface. Low-loss optical rotors for fiber-optic systems are cost-effective while providing significant improvements in transmission quality compared to conventional electrical systems that use slip-ring technology.
