#^High-Speed Plasmonic Modulators Could Boost Space Communication CapabilitiesBerlin, Germany (SPX) Sep 11, 2024

Researchers have successfully achieved data transmission rates of up to 424 Gbit/s across a 53-km free-space optical link using plasmonic modulators, which control optical signals through surface plasmon polaritons. This advancement paves the way for high-speed optical communication links that can transmit data through open air or space. Free-space optical communication networks offer sign
