Denis,

re: "The way around this may be a type of photonic crystal recently created by Joannopoulos' group: a "perfect mirror" that reflects specific wavelengths of light from every angle with extraordinary efficiency. Hollow fibers lined with this reflector could carry up to 1,000 times more data than current fiber optics—offering a solution when glass fibers reach their limits. And because it doesn't absorb and scatter light like glass, the invention may also eliminate the expensive signal amplifiers needed every 60 to 80 kilometers in today's optical networks"

It seems to me that very similar claims were made by OmniGuide, another group from MIT. Any relationship there?
