Innovation in fiber optic technology: better signal and low noise in random lasers

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the “inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity, which enable these objects to collect, exchange data and communicate with each other at very fast speeds.
