FAQs
How can photonics help with fiber optic communication for defense?
Photonics plays a crucial role in military communication, from providing massive bandwidth for high-speed data flow to allowing for the secure transmission of sensitive data. Fiber optics securely connect distant but important locations and are essential for military logistics.
Do I need to be a military logistics expert to use photonics tools?
No. Students, researchers, and other interested parties can freely use Optiwave software to learn more about the applications of photonics in the military. We provide detailed manuals and webinars to help non-specialists get started.
What is quantum key distribution (QKD)?
QKD relies on the principles of quantum mechanics to provide unprecedented security and encryption for communications. Instead of transmitting sensitive data, QKD involves sending secure keys that allow for the encryption/decryption of data. This method significantly reduces the chances of tampering and eavesdropping in military communications.
