Ouch.. and perhaps the science that was needed may soon be ready to support it? It wouldn't be the first time an early pursuit ran out of gas just in time to see a successor pick up the ball and score. I was thinking the same thing. I'd much prefer sending the power with the data, if possible. If there is a low loss window at 830nm, then GaAs will do fine as a power receiver at this wavelength. The question I have is, how much power is needed and what deleterious effects upon the fiber occur when you inject, let's say 2W of power into it.
