Laser puts record data rate through fibre

Fucking awesome! Kinda jealous but y'know...

Researchers have set a new record for the rate of data transfer using a single laser: 26 terabits per second.
At those speeds, the entire Library of Congress collections could be sent down an optical fibre in 10 seconds.
The trick is to use what is known as a "fast Fourier transform" to unpick more than 300 separate colours of light in a laser beam, each encoded with its own string of information.

Not that they would ever allow that to happen. Have fun with your /seemingly' fast speed.

How the hell did they manage to get individual wavelengths within polychromatic light to transfer different bits of data?
Fucking this. Science is amazing...think about all the technology that made this possible.
