Novel hollow-core optical fiber transmits data 45% faster with record low loss

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer traveled—of optical fibers in around 40 years. Decreasing this loss would mean that the signal could travel further without being amplified, leading to more data being transmitted over longer distances, faster internet and more efficient networks.

L4S steht für "Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput" und verbessert die Internet-Übertragung, indem es Latenz reduziert und Datenverlust minimiert. Es ist Teil eines Forschungsprojekts von Nokia Bell Labs zur Transformation von Netzwerken in selbstverwaltende Betriebssysteme.
