5.7 Tbps Throughput FSO Link At The University of Eindhoven
University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands has set up a 4.6 kilometer free space optical link that traverses the city center. Its throughput is 5.7 Tbps. Unfortunately, I don't see signal to noise measurements. Free space lasers suffer from atmospheric turbulence such as rain, fog, and clouds. They work well in outer space. The technology is the basis of the new NASA deep space communications network. Click here for the short paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.21058v1.
