Understand 1080P in HDMI at a Glance
When choosing an HDMI cable, we often see the label “1080P.” What does it actually mean? This article explains it in detail. 1080P is the highest-level high-definition digital television format standard defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). Its effective display resolution is 1920 × 1080, with a total pixel count of 2.0736 million. The high image quality del...Read more -
AI-Empowered Photonic Integrated Circuit Testing: Faster, More Efficient, Zero Accidents
In the development and large-scale production of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), speed, yield, and zero incidents on the production line are mission-critical. Testing is, without question, the most practical and cost-effective lever to achieve these goals—this point cannot be overstated. The real challenge, however, lies in how to embed artificial intelligence (AI) into real-time testing e...Read more -

Five Major Technologies of LAN Switches
Because LAN switches use virtual circuit switching, they can technically ensure that the bandwidth among all input and output ports is non-contentious, enabling high-speed data transmission between ports without creating transmission bottlenecks. This greatly increases the data throughput of network information points and optimizes the overall network system. This article explains the five mai...Read more -
Hard-plastic-clad fiber: Large numerical aperture design for optimized efficient light collection and short-distance transmission
Hard Plastic Coated Fiber (HPCF) is designed with a focus on maximizing light reception efficiency. Its core feature is a large numerical aperture, with a standard model of 0.39 and customizable options up to 0.48. Numerical aperture is a key parameter measuring a fiber’s light-gathering capability. A higher NA value indicates a broader angle range for light reception, resulting in great...Read more -

Detailed Explanation of Absorption Loss in Optical Fiber Materials
The material used to manufacture optical fibers can absorb light energy. After particles in optical fiber materials absorb light energy, they produce vibration and heat, and dissipate the energy, resulting in absorption loss. This article will analyze the absorption loss of optical fiber materials. We know that matter is composed of atoms and molecules, and atoms are composed of atomic nuclei ...Read more -
The “Color Palette” of the Fiber Optic World: Why the Transmission Distances of Optical Modules Vary So Dramatically
In the world of optical fiber communication, the selection of light wavelength is like tuning a radio station—only by choosing the right \”frequency\” can signals be transmitted clearly and stably. Why do some optical modules have a transmission distance of just 500 meters, while others can span hundreds of kilometers? The secret lies in the \”color\” of the light—that ...Read more
