It would not be wrong to say that data transfer speed is the backbone of the internet. It is expected that data transmission speeds will increase day by day and various records will be broken in this regard. Because we need a future with high data transfer speed for new technologies. While many news came to the fore on this subject from time to time, a recent news created quite a stir.
NEW TRANSFER SPEED RECORD!
According to Fox News, an international group of researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden broke the data transfer record. The researchers managed to transmit 1.84 petabits of data per second. It was learned that the researchers used a single light source to transmit data at 1.84 petabits per second.
As detailed in a recent article in the journal Nature Photonics, light from a single infrared laser source enters the chip and creates a spectrum of hundreds of different colors, each of which can be encoded with data, Gizmodo reports. These hundreds of specially modulated frequencies are then recombined into a single beam, transmitted over a fiber optic cable and then decoded at the other end.
The Technical University of Denmark said the researchers are the first in the world to transmit more than 1 petabit per second (1 million gigabits) using just a single laser and a single optical chip.
“USES LESS POWER”
The researchers noted that the solution uses significantly less power and could help reduce the internet’s climate footprint.
