On The Path to 1 Terabit-Per-Second Networks and Graphene based optical modulators soon to set speed records
1. As IP traffic continues to increase and the router interface rate extends beyond 100 gigabits-per-second (Gb/s), future optical networks—ones that would achieve unprecedented speeds of 1 terabit-per-second (Tb/s)—will be required to support the rapid growth of data services with different capacities and patterns on the same optical platform. To address this issue, researchers at …
