We can produce more stuff with less labor. So why are we still working?

The story of an experiment that might have kept Einstein awake at night—but that paved the way for the dawn of optical gyroscopes and that could enable future gravitational-wave detectors.

Professor Wladek Forysiak from Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies and Dr. Ian Phillips were part of the team that successfully transmitted the data. They worked in collaboration with researchers from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan and Nokia Bell Labs in the U.S.

As the demand for more data increases, it is expected the newly developed technology will help keep up with future demand. The scientists used optical fibers, small tubular strands of glass that pass information using light. Regular copper cables can’t carry data at such speeds.

The feat was achieved by opening up new wavelength bands that are not yet used in fiber optic systems. Different wavelength bands are equivalent to different colors of light being transmitted down the optical fiber.
