ETH Zurich researchers unveil the electro-optical material properties of Lithium Niobate and Barium Titanate – materials critical for next-generation communications technologies.
A modulator developed by researchers from ETH Zurich has broken the terahertz mark. The ultrafast component efficiently transmits large volumes of data into the fibre-optic network in a short space of time.
Optica (formerly OSA), the society dedicated to promoting the generation, application, archiving and dissemination of knowledge in in the science of light, awards Prof. Juerg Leuthold the 2025 Joseph Fraunhofer Award/Robert M. Burley Prize. Prof. Leuthold, head of the Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF), is honored for pioneering plasmonics based devices and in particular developing broadband modulators and detectors with highest bandwidths.
