Researchers have developed an innovative optical technology capable of enhancing data transmission by utilizing spatial-frequency patching metasurfaces.

This approach allows light beams to carry significantly more data across multiple independent channels, overcoming traditional optical beam limitations. Its applications extend to secure communication, encryption, and advanced optical systems.
Revolutionary Optical Technology for Data Transmission

Scientists have unveiled an advanced optical technology that significantly boosts the capacity and security of data transmission (Figure 1). This breakthrough involves a novel spatial-frequency patching metasurface capable of manipulating light beams in unprecedented ways. The result is the creation of “super-capacity perfect vector vortex beams” (SC-PVVBs), which feature intricate spatial and polarization characteristics. These beams can carry vast amounts of information, making them perfect for high-density data communication systems.
