Research group at DTU Photonics has recaptured the world record for data transfer.
World champions in data transmission, see Lyngby, where High-Speed Optical Communications Group (UHSOC) at DTU Photonics has just secured another world record. This time the group has broken a record which was set by the Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie, by showing that it is possible to transfer 43 terabits per second with only a single laser transmitter. This is well above the Germans previous record of 32 terabits per second.
The worldwide competition in data rate is helping to develop the technology to meet the massive growth of data traffic on the Internet. It is estimated that Internet traffic annually increases by 40-50 percent. In addition, the Internet as a whole currently stands at a total energy corresponding to a CO 2 emissions of more than two percent of global man-made CO 2 emissions - ie at the level of transport (planes, ships, etc.). But these other industries do not grow by 40 percent a year. Therefore, it is imperative to find solutions for the Internet, where energy consumption is greatly reduced, while the bandwidth is increased. This is the DTU group has demonstrated with this latest record. DTU researchers have previously helped to demonstrate the world's highest aggregate data transmission at 1 petabit per second, but in that case were spent hundreds of lasers.
DTU researchers record has resulted in a in house by the research team used a new type of optical fiber, which they borrowed from the Japanese telecom giant NTT. The fiber contains seven grains (glass thread) instead of only one core, which is in standard fibers. This allows you to move more data. Despite the seven cores, fills this new fiber not more than standard fiber.
Researchers record result has been verified and presented as a so-called 'post-deadline paper' at the International Conference CLEO 2014.

High-Speed Optical Communications Group at DTU Photonics has repeatedly had the world record for data transmission and in 2009 was the first in the world to break the 'terabit-wall', which was then the almost unattainable challenge of transferring one terabit per second - again based on a single laser. This has now grown to 43 Tbit / s.
THIS IS AMAZING!!
Think about this . Now you can transfer 5 1TB HDD in a second, this is a huge improvement for technology , imagine internet that is actually instant , movies that don't have to buffer or videos that don't take 2 hours to load. Now you can download everything when ever you actually need it , no waiting for updates for your system , just click a button and it updated instantaneously
