New world record for transmission data πέτυχαν δανοί ερευνητές του DTU (Τεχνικό Πανεπιστήμιο Δανίας), και συγκεκριμένα η ομάδα HSOC (High-Speed Optical Communications) at DTU Fotonik.
The team has surpassed a previous record of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie, demonstrating that it is possible to transmit 43 terabits / second with a single laser to the transmitter. Similarly, the previous record of the German team was 32 terabits / second.
Ο διεθνής ανταγωνισμός πάνω στην ταχύτητα μετάδοσης δεδομένων έχει ως στόχο την ανάπτυξη τεχνολογίας που θα μπορεί να ανταποκριθεί στα νέα data of the ever-increasing data traffic on the Internet, which is estimated to grow 40-50% annually. In addition, there is also an 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 entail significant reductions in energy consumption while simultaneously increasing bandwidth» is mentioned in this regard. It is worth noting that in the past DTU researchers achieved the highest combined data transmission speed of one petabit per second - however this involved the use of hundreds of lasers.
In this case the researchers achieved the new record using a new species visuals that were "borrowed" from the Japanese telecommunications giant NDT. This type of fiber contains seven cores instead of the one used in conventional fibers, which makes it possible to carry more data. Although it contains seven cores, the dimensions are the same as the 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.
