During the experiment two research groups managed to overcome a symbolic 100 TB/s optical fiber data transmission speed limit.
During the experiment two research groups managed to overcome a symbolic 100 TB/s optical fiber data transmission speed limit.
The first experiment was managed by Dayou Qian from NEC. The group managed to transmit data with speed of 101.7 TB/s. 370 lasers were used in the system, and the distance between sender and recipient was 165 km. It is notable, that such transmission enables to send data equal of 250 dual layer Blu-ray discs capacity.
Another experiment was held by Japan's National Institute of Communication Technologies (NICTS). They used a fiber optic cable with seven filaments. Finally, they managed to reach 109 Tbit / s data transfer rate.
Impressive, but scientists argue that such high-bandwidth communication lines may not be needed yet.
