Nanophotonic device reads twisted light to unlock 100X fiber capacity | NextBigFuture.com

The world-first nanophotonic device encodes more data and processes it much faster than conventional fiber optics by using a special form of ‘twisted’ light. The tiny nanophotonic device built for reading twisted light is the missing key required to unlock super-fast, ultra-broadband communications. “Present-day optical communications are heading towards a ‘capacity crunch’ as they fail to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of Big Data,” Ren said. New cables would be required to effectively twist light, any upgrade could involve replacing existing fiber networks. They accurately can transmit and read data via light at its highest capacity in a way The post Nanophotonic device reads twisted light to unlock 100X fiber capacity appeared first on NextBigFuture.com.
