A new world record in terms of data transmission was achieved by DTU (Danish Technical University) Danish researchers, in particular the HSOC (High-Speed Optical Communications) team at DTU Fotonik.
The team beat a previous record by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie, proving that it is possible to transmit 43 terabits/second with a single laser to the transmitter. Accordingly, the previous record of the German team was 32 terabits/second.
International competition over data transmission speed is aimed at growth technologys that will be able to respond to the new data of the ever-increasing data traffic on the Internet, which is estimated to increase by 40-50% annually. In addition, there is also environmental interest in the whole case, as the carbon dioxide emissions corresponding to the energy consumption of the Internet constitute more than 2% of the emissions due to human activity worldwide, as noted in the relevant announcement of the university - where it is emphasized that other industries do not are increasing by 40% per year. "So it is necessary to find solutions for the Internet that involve significant reductions in energy consumption while simultaneously increasing bandwidth," it states. It is worth noting that in the past DTU researchers have achieved the highest combined data transmission speed of one petabit per second - however this involved the use of hundreds of lasers.
Researchers achieved the new record using a new kind of fiber that was "borrowed" by the Japanese telecommunications giant NNT. This type of fiber contains seven cores instead of the one used in conventional fibers, which makes it possible to transfer more data. Although it contains seven cores, the dimensions are the same as those of conventional versions.
The HSOC team at DTU Fotonik also held this record in the past. 2009 had broken the "terabit barrier", achieving over one terabit / second transmission, again through the use of a single laser.
