In turn, optic signals can now travel for longer distances without seeing deprivation in quality.
Todays fiber optic systems are a little like quicksand.
With quicksand, the more you struggle, the faster you sink.
The new findings effectively remove the need for electronic regenerators placed occasionally along the fiber link.
These regenerators are in fact supercomputers and must be applied to each channel in the transmission.
In an optical fiber, information is transmitted through multiple communication channels that function at different frequencies.
The researchers note that this approach could be used in systems with far more communication channels.
