Sector:

During the Annual Meeting, Noam mentioned a patent on "fractional wavelengths" and we both didn't know what that was. I PM'ed Frank Culuccio and below his reply. Neither he nor I have been able to access the Quantum Bridge site and believe that it is temporarily down. The info, when accessible, may provide another piece to the MRVC puzzle.

Frank's reply:

"Normal wavelengths have consumed 200 GHz, more recently 100 GHz and maybe some at 50 GHz, according to the new ITU sanctioned wavelength grids. But these are still too wide for most applications but are necessary because many techs can't go down further than 50 or 100, economically to lower channel widths.

I'm not altogether certain what Noam is referring to, but I can guess that he's talking about some proprietary means of further subdividing normal lambdas to create streams that will support lower denominations of throughput.

See page 5 of Quantum Bridge's white paper. I think that Noam's fractional wavelength will resemble what you see there. But they call it wavelength slicing."

We'll see if the section 5 of the white paper has any context within Fischer's compendium of published papers/patents provided by Regis' post.
