Fontaine and his colleagues invented a new kind of multiplexer a device that bundles multiple inputs into one stream
Fontaine's multiplexer avoids the signal loss that crippled earlier devices; he has shown already that his multiplexer can send six light streams down 497 miles of fiber without losing data along the way.
While previous multiplexers are a cubic foot or more; Fontaine's is 50 cubic millimeters. Since it's made of glass
and etched by laser it would be cheap to produce. The device is also scalable:
Multiplexers are devices that enable separate streams of data to travel through a single medium.
As a result, many of the components for a terahertz wireless network--including multiplexers--have not yet been developed.
The multiplexer that Mittleman and his colleagues have been working on makes use of what's known as a leaky wave antenna.
