*Australian Researchers Record World's Fastest Internet Speed from
Single Optical Chip*
/*Monash University*
May 22, 2020/
Researchers at Monash and Swinburne universities and the Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia recorded the world's fastest
Internet data speed from a single optical chip: 44.2 terabits per
second. At this speed, users can download 1,000 high-definition movies
in less than a second. The new system relies on a micro-comb, a single
piece of hardware that replaces 80 lasers. The team demonstrated the
impact of optical micro-combs by installing 76.6 kilometers of "dark"
optical fibers between RMIT's Melbourne City Campus and Monash
University's Clayton Campus, then using a micro-comb to send maximum
data down each channel, simulating peak Internet usage across four
terahertz of bandwidth.
