Record-breaking chip can transmit entire internet’s traffic per second

Posted on October 24, 2022 by Michael Irving

A new photonic chip design has achieved a world record data transmission speed of 1.84 petabits per second

The speed record for data transmission using a single light source and optical chip has been shattered once again. Engineers have transmitted data at a blistering rate of 1.84 petabits per second (Pbit/s), almost twice the global internet traffic per second.

How fast is your Internet connection? The days of 56K modems are — thankfully — long gone for most of us. But before you get too smug with your gigabit …read more Continue reading Sorry, Your Internet Connection is Slow→

Blistering data transmission record clocks over 1 petabit per second

Posted on June 2, 2022 by Michael Irving

Researchers in Japan have clocked a new speed record for data transmission – a blistering 1.02 petabits per second (Pb/s). Better yet, the breakthrough was achieved using optical fiber cables that should be compatible with existing infrastructure.Conti… Continue reading Blistering data transmission record clocks over 1 petabit per second→

A fusion splicer being used to repair an optical fiber

Some Samsung TVs come with a system called One Connect, where all external cabling is connected to a separate box so that only one small signal cable goes to the …read more Continue reading Using a Fusion Splicer to Repair a Samsung TV’s Cable→

A Ball Lens For Optical Fiber Coupling On The Cheap

Posted on February 21, 2022 by Jenny List

It’s fair to say that for most of us, using a fiber optic cable for digital audio or maybe networking will involve the use of an off-the-shelf termination. We snap …read more Continue reading A Ball Lens For Optical Fiber Coupling On The Cheap→

Facebook robot crawls along power lines to deliver fiber optic cable

Posted on October 7, 2021 by Ben Coxworth

Although fiber optic internet cable has many advantages over metal cable, it frequently has to be distributed underground – this limits its usability. Facebook, however, has developed a robot that could wrap the cable around existing power lines.Contin… Continue reading Facebook robot crawls along power lines to deliver fiber optic cable→

Liquid-filled optical fiber designed for more robust data transmission

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Ben Coxworth

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they’re also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of liquid glycerol.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTa… Continue reading Liquid-filled optical fiber designed for more robust data transmission→
