They tested the transmission on 76.6 kilometres of optical fibres between RMIT’s Melbourne City Campus and Monash University’s Clayton Campus.
The fibre loop, according to the scientists, is part of the Australian Lightwave Infrastructure Research Testbed (ALIRT) established with investment from the Australian Research Council.
In the study, the researchers used their new device which replaces 80 lasers with one single piece of equipment known as a micro-comb, which is smaller and lighter than existing telecommunications hardware.
They explained that it acts like a rainbow made up of hundreds of high quality invisible, infrared lasers from a single chip.
Each of these lasers, the study noted, has the capacity to be used as a separate communications channel.
The scientists placed the micro-comb onto ALIRT's optical fibres and sent maximum data down each channel, simulating peak internet usage, across 4 TeraHertz (THz) of bandwidth.
