MIT and partners develop terahertz camera using quantum dots

Researchers at MIT, the University of Minnesota, and Samsung have developed a camera that uses quantum dots that emit visible light when stimulated by terahertz waves. The visible light can then be recorded by a device that is similar to a standard electronic camera’s detector.The device, which functions at room temperature and pressure, can simultaneously capture information about the orientation, or “polarization,” of the waves in real-time. The...

NTT achieves 1 Mbps with underwater acoustic transmission

Researchers from NTT DOCOMO and NTT Communications achieved 1 Mbps in a joint experiment of underwater acoustic data transmission over a distance of 300m in a shallow sea area (water depth of about 30m).The experiment used spatio-temporal equalization technology for broadband transmission and improved resistance technology for environmental noise. In addition, the researchers developed a wireless remotely operated vehicle (ROV) using these technologies.NTT...
