Getting ever higher data rates seems to be the number one goal in a lot of research and universities, and little by little they are making great strides in this regard.
Recently, we have already delved into a big record in which a team of researchers from Copenhagen successfully demonstrated the transmission of data from all Internet over 7.9 km fiber optic cable using a single chip (1.84 petabits of data per second).
It’s not as fast as other alternatives with huge systems reaching 10.66 petabits, but the key here was scale: the system used is very compact. However, of course, this technology is still quite experimental and much further from commercialization than the one we present to you now.
And this is what the engineering team, despite not breaking this record, managed to convey 55 different data streams or modes carrying informationover a single strand optical fiber.
Transfer rate 1.53 petabits per second over standard fiber optic cable
The experiment also reports baud rate from 1.53 petabits per secondthe record for any optical fiber with a standard cladding diameter (0.125 mm) to date.
Novel 55-mode fiber (in addition to the 4 modes already demonstrated) allows you to achieve ultra-high spectral efficiency with high data rates using only the most common optical communication band.
To give you an idea of how fast this speed is, one petabit equals one thousand terabits, which in turn equals one million gigabits, which equals one billion megabits.
In Spain, a fast connection offers about 600 Mbps., although in Spain it is increasingly common to see operators offering 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) and even 10 Gbps. Even with all this, imagine.
Estimated all the bandwidth of the world Internet just under 1 petabit per second, this means that this fiber can handle it all with a headroom. Ultimately, the team claims that throughput can also be improved through bandwidth expansion, so this is just the tip of the iceberg.
