We are not talking about solar cells as you previously suggested we were not. We are discussing photovoltaics You have an office full of device physicists rolling on the floor right now. Go to your local library and pick up the book. I hope that I have corrected the misconceptions you have seeded on the thread. I have established that power conversion can be done, at reasonable efficiency, over a number of low loss windows in fiber. Therefore, providing sufficient input power is injected into an optical fiber, it should be possible to power lifeline communication systems via a fiber optic delivery system. Whether someone is doing this is another question altogether.
