'Twisted light' idea makes for terabit rates in fibre

A novel way of boosting data rates in optical communication using "twisted light" has been shown to work in optical fibres. The light is effectively corkscrew-shaped, and more data can be encoded in differently twisted beams. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23096320#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
