All Things Photonics

Closing Connection Gaps through Free Space Optical Communications — With Tom Chaffee, Jim Olson, and Wayne Knox


Listen Later

Free space optical communication could offer high speed connectivity without the need of optical fibers. That's where groups like Attochron come in. They are actively working to develop the next generation of light waves for free space optical communications. Using short coherence length optical sources, including ultrashort pulsed lasers, they believe they have found a way to overcome the hurdles holding these systems back from hitting the mainstream. On this episode, we are joined by Tom Chaffee, founder and CEO of Attochron, Jim Olson, senior VP of sales and marketing, and Wayne H. Knox, professor of Optics at the University of Rochester and consultant at Attochron.  Some materials referenced by our guest could be found on our YouTube channel.


"All Things Photonics"® is produced by Photonics Media and airs biweekly, on Tuesdays.
