' Twisted Light 'Can Make Faster Wireless Internet Than Fiber Optic Cable

                        We say light can travel longer distance than any other object . But today it became reality from the latest research says that we can transfer  information faster photons through OAM. Generally  Optical Fiber are used  for fastest form of  data transmission. To reach the information to more people with high speed data connection. Companies like Google also struggles a lot for building a good consumer base. Researchers from  the University of Glasgow has found a new way to abolish the cables from the picture altogether. For  wireless data transmission using a light beam, they can ‘twist’ photons to more data and also to check atmospheric hurdles at urban areas.

From the research of  optical angular momentum’ (OAM) could overcome present difficulties with using twisted light  across open free space. The twisting of photons is done by passing them through a special hologram. It also allows photos to carry additional data other than 0s and 1s which will  help in the creation of higher-bandwidth communication modes.

The researchers also tested 1.6-km long open  free space link in Germany where the light beam  can  travel to  near uplifted  buildings and also work in different climatic conditions at urban areas with high intensity and long distance communication.

We use optical angular momentum in the past through cables. They are few challenges involved wireless technology into reality to happen . The first challenge has to face is the climatic conditions in the environment like rain,snow, fog. Another one is very difficult to transfer light in homes. We can implement the from last-mile solution network  it could reduce the need of running wires throughout towns and cities.
