Engineers from Australia created a new methodology for transmitting information on fiber. The system is compatible with the current components at the moment. It is commissioned simply, and the transmission of information accelerates incredibly. The results of their work have already been published in the scientific literature.
Nowadays, data are transmitted through the fiber -optic system. At a certain point there is a device that encodes data in the form of light outbreaks. They are transmitted through the cable to the acceptance device that decodes these outbreaks. Consists of a cable of thin tubes (human hair thickness) with reflective walls. Now the capacity of information transmission is limited to the use of light only visible spectrum. Moreover, it can move only along the tube and reflected from the walls. That is, the data is, as it were, transmitted in 2-dimensional space. The team of Melbourne University RMIT, under the leadership of Professor Min Ming, is working on fiber -optic technology that can use other light spectra, and not just what the human eye perceives. Moreover, the light is twisted into a spiral.
The new technology uses the shape of light waves, fluctuations and invisible light spectra. All this significantly increases throughput capabilities. The waves of light are twisted into a spiral to increase the level of an angular orbital moment. So for the passage of data, the third measurement is created. The system is similar to DNA spiral. Moreover, the stronger it is twisted, the more data transmits.
The main catch was in the acceptance gadget. All past samples were the size of a kitchen table. The Melbourne team managed to reduce it to the size comparable to the cross -section of the tubes from the fiber -optic cable. Professor GU notes that their nanoelectronic detector of the corner orbital moment is similar to the eye. He is literally able to discern the data transmitted by the twisted light, and then decode them for electronic devices.
The development of Australians is quite applicable with existing telecommunication networks. Modern methods of increasing the speed of information transmission have practically reached their limit. The spiral method will solve this problem simply and without colossal costs.
