Hi Dan,

Thanks for the compliment. At least you got the "old" part right. <gg>

Solitons, hmmmm....

Here's what some have to say about solitons:

A soliton is a special form of light pulse that can be transmitted over a fiber optic channel. Potentially,
a soliton retains its shape or wavelength over a longer distance than ordinary light pulses, permitting
a higher rate of information bits to be transmitted.

A source: Trudy E. Bell, John A. Adam, and Sue J. Lowe, "Communications," IEEE Spectrum, January 1996.

Also:

soliton

Any isolated wave that propagates without dispersion of energy. Specifically to photonics, an ultrashort pulse of laser light
that propagates through a waveguide without characteristic chromatic dispersion.

So.... so far the research indicates that the practical application of solitons in telecomms is in the realm of FO. But, if I understand you correctly, what NVXE is claiming is that they are using magnetic solitons? I searched their site and could not come up with much detail on technology. Do you have a citation or URL that addresses their techniques in more detail? Seems like this stuff ought to be patentable, yet I see nothing in that regard. Any pointers there?

Just Wondering, Ray
