The amount of data in the world is expanding exponentially. About 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years, and almost 5% percent of the world’s power is used for data storage and computing. Lyteloop has an approach to data storage that uses optical communications to store data in motion between objects. Since the speed of light is fast, one needs very high data rates and very long paths to store large amounts of data. Data storage of petabytes, and even exabytes, is reasonable with this approach, in a format more compact than traditional data storage methods. LyteLoop has demonstrated an operating system using fiber, and currently has a system operating using free space. The fiber system stores >1 Gbyte, using 2000 km of fiber, and allows us to develop data center-like writing and retrieval experiences. Multiple patents have been filed with some granted. One of the patented concepts is called angle multiplexing, a method of dramatically increasing path length over a free-space path among multiple optical apertures. This has been demonstrated in free space using two different approaches. LyteLoop can store data in fiber, and in free space, either in a vacuum or in space.

高容量和访问速率，使用激光通信进行数据存储

世界上的数据量呈指数增长。在过去的两年中，已经创建了约90％的世界数据，并且将近5％的世界电力用于数据存储和计算。Lyteloop有一种数据存储方法，该方法使用光通信来存储对象之间运动中的数据。由于光速很快，因此需要很高的数据速率和很长的路径来存储大量数据。PB甚至EB的数据存储采用这种方法是合理的，其格式比传统数据存储方法更紧凑。LyteLoop已经展示了使用光纤的操作系统，并且目前拥有使用可用空间运行的系统。光纤系统使用2000 km的光纤存储> 1 GB的数据，使我们能够开发类似数据中心的写入和检索体验。已申请了多项专利并获得了一些授权。获得专利的概念之一称为角度复用，一种在多个光学孔径之间的自由空间路径上显着增加路径长度的方法。这已在自由空间中使用两种不同方法进行了证明。LyteLoop可以将数据存储在光纤中以及在真空或空间中的自由空间中。
