World's first transmission of 1 Petabit/s using a single-core multimode optical fiber
Credit: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) Points A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times. Wideband optical transmission in fibers with more 15 modes is demonstrated for the first time, enabled by mode multiplexers and a transmission fiber optimized for high optical bandwidth. This demonstration advanced high-density and large capacity transmission in optical fibers that can be produced with standard methods. Abstract A group...
