You say there is no wheat but then you admit there is some. You are making some headway.

Why would you say, "ask Shannon about this"? Consider. If a monochromatic wave is turned on and off, then information is sent. No modulation unless you consider amplitude change modulation. It is, but that isn't what you mean and Claude had nothing to add about null solutions to the wave equation. His work dealt with aggregations of waves such that conflicts inherent in bunches caused deleterious effects to information transmission.

You will find a recounting of the simple signal mixing you mention in my primer in the earlier thread. It's well-known dating back to 1900.

The bandwidth embedding you are talking about is merely the standard FM multiplexing preparation of all our current electronic oriented networks which has been extended to the optical domain. This isn't SR. SR shrinks the wavelength to accommodate a large frequency band into which separate signal may be embedded. The fine wavelength provides space-time locale for the incoming RF input within the inverse total frequency band. The location is achieved through a temporal delay by mixing the RF input at a point further along the crystal's refractive spread. The spread is both in space and time because the beam is being bent, accelerated, a change in space and time, as it picks up the inputs at progressively later times even while the refracting crystal vibrates across its volume with many RF inputs simultaneously. This process produces a stable beam which has embossed on it discrete channels of FM RF inputs.

RF sideband signals up to 10-20 GHz BANDWIDTH are not a challenge these days - for anybody in the business.

How about 40 10 GHz signals in a single lambda in a single wire? SR has done that and over several 100 kilometers which was verified by independent observers. That's beyond anyone in the business, but it isn't beyond the old bunk under Hasegawa's soliton. The solitons you talk about are at their limits and they can't even keep up with the old bunk. There are many things wrong with SR , but they are engineering and materials science issues. SR will get its day when the rest of the world needs to make it fly.
