Twisted light can provide 100-times faster fiber capacity and secure wireless data transmission to moving platforms like UAVs

Broadband fiber-optics carry information on pulses of light, at the speed of light, through optical fibers. But the way the light is encoded at one end and processed at the other affects data speeds. Basically, light or any other electromagnetic radiation has energy defined by its frequency and momentum defined by its wavelength. Current state-of-the-art fiber-optic communications,…
