<< Woah boy...this article really raises my BS flag. My guess is that this company doesn't know much about fiber. >> That's why I'm glad we've got you here to clear things up. << High power lasers in fiber excite a non-linear effect known as four-wave mixing which leads to signal distortion. >> I remember reading something about that. Too complicated for a simpleminded person like me to understand. Don't bother trying to explain it to me. << The idea that increasing the laser power will increase the DWDM reach to 1000 km is bogus >> Sounded a little strange, but who's to know? << I can't see this product as a serious contender in fiber applications. >> Glad I got your take on the matter. Now if I could only convince you that Gradium will one day revolutionize the world of telecommunications. <g>
