Dear Prof. Ahhaha,

You gotta be kidding. You seem to make this up as you go along.
Palmer's patent is just a variant of the DFB laser known since
the beginning of all time (well almost). An external cavity
can narrow the laser's linewidth and thereby improve its
coherence length, but that's it. Once you modulate the
monochromatic laser signal,it is no longer monochromatic
(but you know that), and so its coherence length is no longer
"infinite". A 20 GHz external modulator certainly adds a
lot of bandwidth capacity, and perhaps 40-60 GHz is in the cards,
but not 30 THz. When are you going to mention solitons, or
am I reading too far ahead ?

I don't know if anyone reads this thread; seems like Frank and
ahhaha talking to each other (if not one and the same). But folks,
yes, you laypersons with the dollars out there - there is no
unique physics or engineering here, so keep your hands on your
money.

P.S. I do get a laugh from the mix of real physics and
techno-babble, so please keep it up.
