"New Record: World’s First Successful Transmission of 1 Petabit Per Second"

Internet speeds worldwide have increased considerably in the last decade, but scientists are still trying to improve them daily. Scientists from the Network Research Institute at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology conducted a news study that they say proves that the world will soon enter a new era of internet speed. The scientists reported the world’s first demonstration of more than 1 petabit per second in a multi-core fiber (MCF) with a standard diameter of 0.125 mm. Using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, the scientists developed a novel transmission system that supports a record optical bandwidth exceeding 20 THz. The scientists noted that the system consists of commercially adopted optical fiber transmission windows known as C and L-bands and extends the transmission bandwidth to include the recently explored S-band. The results of this experiment were accepted as a postdeadline paper presentation at the International Conference on Laser and Electro-Optics (CLEO) 2022.
