Experts have revealed a 'vortex laser' that can encode information into its twists.
This allows it to transport information far faster than conventional lasers.
Because the laser beam travels in a corkscrew pattern, encoding information into different vortex twists, it's able to carry 10 times or more the amount of information than that of conventional lasers, which move linearly.
The laser -- described in a new paper in the journal Science -- won't be a cure-all, but combined with new technologies like more efficient transmitters and atomic storage chips, it may push the end of Moore's Law well into the future.
'To transfer more data while using less energy, we need to rethink what's inside these machines,' says Liang Feng, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University at Buffalo's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the study's co-lead author.
