I think that we're all waiting to hear what the technology is that can support those modulation rates, George. I don't have the answers, and I recall posting similar questions in a round 'bout way, myself, upstream. Some of these manufacturers have stated that they will have product out in the next couple of months. They will need to make more illuminating disclosures re how they work, if they are to be accepted by the user community. Some may differ with this view, since they believe that the company(ies) may have a legitimate reason for wanting to protect their intellectual property and patents, pending or otherwise, until some later date.
You are correct though, in that this is a place for airing new ideas, and spreading some information around, and seeking same, regarding new developments in the opticals used for communications. In fact, you, yourself, have just added to that legacy by posting your message here, which was very well done. Thanks.
