'Twisted light' idea makes for terabit rates in fibre
By Jason Palmer
Science and technology reporter, BBC News
A novel way of boosting data rates in optical communication using "twisted light" has been shown to work in optical fibres.
The light is effectively corkscrew-shaped, and more data can be encoded in differently twisted beams.
The concept had been shown off over "free space" but it remained unclear if it would work in fibres.
Now a team reporting in Science has demonstrated data rates of 1.6 terabits per second over 1km of optical fibre.
