World's First Successful Transmission of 1 Petabit per Second Using a Single-core Multimode Optical Fiber
December 18, 2020
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology
NOKIA Bell Labs
Points
- A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times.
- Wideband optical transmission in fibers with more 15 modes is demonstrated for the first time, enabled by mode multiplexers and a transmission fiber optimized for high optical bandwidth.
- This demonstration advanced high-density and large capacity transmission in optical fibers that can be produced with standard methods.
