How would you like to download 70 full-length DVDs in just one second?
A recent experiment has shown that the use of twisted laser beams can make
transmitting data at the rate of 2.
56 terabits per second via open space
possible.
This method called orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing, basically twists
light beams in order to enable them to carry more data in a faster rate.
Twisted
light beams are undoubtedly powerful as they have a huge data capacity through
encoding the data in different directions and ways.
According to the experiment, light beams composed of ?twisted waves? can ferry
2.
5 terabits of data (the capacity of almost 70 DVDs) in a mere second.
That
rate is roughly 85,000 times faster than the 30Mbps-connection that the
privileged of us have today.
Such data transfer rate surpasses even the highest
possible in cellular communications and Wi-Fi plat
