With today's data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow.

Here's a tour that begins with radio waves and takes you through microwaves, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, and X-rays. The tour ends with gamma rays, the potentially deadly ...

Valuable images, and data in the visible, infrared, and microwave range Both geostationary and polar orbiting satellites ...

Unlike radio waves, microwaves are not refracted in the Earth's atmosphere which means they can pass easily between stations on Earth and satellites in orbit. Infrared radiation is used by ...

The challenge lies in converting the microwave signals used to control qubits into infrared light that can be transmitted through fiber. This is where microwave-to-optical transduction comes into ...

Television and radio systems use this principle to broadcast information. Infrared light is used by electrical heaters, cookers for cooking food, and by infrared cameras which detect people in the ...
