Hello everybody, It is a great pleasure to share that recently our work has received much appreciation. We set a new world record on the single-channel data rate of the standard optical fiber. In this blog, I share our work in brief. Our work is about mitigating the distortions and thus, increasing the transmission capacity of fiber-optic communication systems. These systems carry 99% of today’s internet traffic and are under pressure due to an exponential rise in bandwidth-hungry services such as video conferencing, HD video streaming and online gaming. In order to increase the data-carrying capacity of networks while keeping a lower cost, researchers and industries around the world are working hard to achieve higher capacity per fiber. The innovation is usually applied at transmitters and receivers where information bits are encoded into higher modulation format symbols (i.e. multiple amplitudes and phase levels of light), and then, those symbols are transmitted at rates beyo
