At that speed the research team able to transmit data aggregated from the Library of Congress in 10 seconds.
How to use the technology of fast Fourier transform, that is by dissecting more than 300 separate colors of light in a laser beam. Each color coded with a string of information itself. This technique is described researchers in the journal Nature Photonics.
Encouragement of high data rate in light-based communication technologies have significant leap. Meanwhile, optical fiber technology encoded in a string of data, as a wobble in one color of light.
In laser technology is known as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, which uses a laser, to encode a string of data and different colors of light. Everything is sent via fiber together.
On the receiving end, a set of laser oscillators can be used to retrieve the signal light and reverse the process.
Data transmission scheme by the laser is limited by the number of lasers are available. ''We've been doing experiments 100 terabits per second,''said Professor Wolfgang Freude from Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, told BBC News.
According to Professor Freude, it takes more than one laser. It could even reach the 370 laser. To get expensive and need to consume several kilowatts of electricity.
