Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a multi-carrier optical transceiver capable of one Terabit per second (1 Tbps) rates -- a 10-fold improvement over current mainstream commercial transceivers, which operate at up to 100 Gbs) per optical receiver.
Mitsubishi Electric said it achieved the 1Tbps transmission rate with existing optical fibers by using a multi-subcarrier technology that transmits 11 light waves (subcarriers) simultaneously...
