Significance of output:

World first demonstration of an optical fibre capable of transmitting high capacity (>1Tb/s) data at the speed of light in vacuum. Foreseen applications in low latency supercomputing, data centre interconnection, financial algorithmic trading and high energy physics experiments. More than 10,000 article views in the first month of publication. Press coverage from, amongst others, New Scientist, Phys.org, eWallstreeter. It has led to a £100,000 industrial sub-contract (QinetiQ) and to ongoing field trials of our fibres at NPL and CERN. It has resulted in 4 invited presentations: IWT (Brazil), OECC (Japan), IEEE Summer Topicals (US), Workshop on Specialty Optical Fibres (Sweden).
