For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that optical data storage capacity can reach the petabit (Pb) level. The storage capacity within the area of a DVD-sized disk is equivalent to at least 10,000 Blu-ray disks.
An international group of researchers have achieved dizzying data transmission speeds and are the first in the world to transmit more than 1 petabit per second (Pbit/s) using only a single laser and a single optical chip.
The device can be switched between its two states a trillion times a second, which is up to 1,000 times faster than today's leading commercial transistors.
The researchers' new concept demonstrates an unprecedented receiver sensitivity of just one photon-per-information bit at a data rate of 10 gigabits per second.
Researchers have successfully tested and recorded Australia's fastest internet data speed, and that of the world, from a single optical chip - capable of downloading 1000 high definition movies in a split second.
Blisteringly fast Internet speeds, more robust connections and a big increase in network capacity at little extra cost, even in rural areas? It
