Stupid question - with the increase in frequency of the light (75 million pulses per second!) - could that be used to encode data for super-dense information transmission in fiber optics?

I haven't been this excited since that 3 day coma!

Isn't 75 million pulses per second 75 MHz?

10 billion pulses per second is becoming the standard pipe these days, along with gear that uses DWDM to stack 40 of those pipes onto a single strand.

Plus, according to Wiki, "10 or 40 Gbit/s is typical in deployed systems," "The current laboratory fiber optic data rate record, held by Bell Labs in Villarceaux, France, is multiplexing 155 channels, each carrying 100 Gbit/s over a 7000 km fiber."

You're imagining 75Mbps, but it doesn't work that way, you would get less bandwidth and less throughput, so no matter what a regular Ethernet Cat 5e (~1Gbps max) cable would beat that data rate.

Why is there a light in a whale?

Do Not Stare Into Beam With Remaining Eye.

So... 15+Tbps... screamin'. I think Wiki has a typo/error; these beasts are scattered all over configured for 400Gbps on 10Gbps channels. No idea what the capacity is using the newer 40Gbps units. To make things weirder, the DWM side of the box uses an amplifier as opposed to a regen to eliminate optical-electrical conversions at the nodes for pass-thru traffic.

/yeah, yeah, CSB (sorr)
