The world's first 55-mode baud rate transmission was made data to the record 1,53 petabits per second on any standard diameter optical fiber.
A new 55-mode fiber enables extremely high spectral efficiency with high data rate achieved using only the most common optical communications band (C-).
This demonstration demonstrated the potential of multicasting in future high-capacity networks.
A group of researchers from the Network Research Institute of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology ή NICT, Ιαπωνία) με επικεφαλής τον Georg Rademacher σε συνεργασία με τη Nokia Bell Labs (ΗΠΑ), την Prysmian Group (Prysmian, Γαλλία και Ολλανδία) και το University of Queensland (Australia) achieved the world's first experiment of high-capacity transmission with multiplexing technology using 55 modes.
The experiment reports a data rate of 1,53 petabits per second, a record in any standard cladding diameter (0,125 mm) fiber optic to date.
55-mode has been successfully used in all commercially adopted fiber optic (C-band) transmission packages, and a dramatic increase in spectral efficiency has been observed compared to conventional fiber.
This demonstration serves as an important step in her maturity technology high-speed multi-mode transmission, the development of Beyond 5G and subsequent information and communications infrastructure technology.
The results of this experiment were accepted as presentation after the deadline at the 48th European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2022) and were presented on Thursday, 22 September 2022.
