How would a petabit look like per second? The University του Macquarie στην Αυστραλία σε συνεργασία με το Πανεπιστήμιο του Hokkaido και τον κατασκευαστή εξοπλισμού Fujikura, κατασκεύασαν μια οπτική ίνα και ένα σύστημα μετάδοσης που επιτρέπει ταχύτητες μεταφοράς δεδομένων άνω του 1 petabit το δευτερόλεπτο.
The new quad-core and 12D optical fiber is the same size as today's, but is capable of transmitting data XNUMX times faster.
Macquarie University even reported that these fibers are less prone to damage due to their narrower diameter and could be used with existing equipment.
"This technology promises a solution to the congestion created by existing optical fibers. For the first time we have created a realistic and easy-to-use fiber that is durable and can carry huge amounts of data. " he says the research's Dr Simon Gross centreMacquarie Photonics.
According to the researchers, the fiber optics they built is the first to allow such data transfer speeds.
