So thanks.

I saw something the other day that networking guys might find interesting, obviously not for next fiscal quarter, but I’m not smart enough to elaborate on future implications (Ethernet? fiber?), or even if it’s ever realistic. I’ll leave the thinking up to you, reader. I’ll avoid direct links, so info should be enough to look it up, saw it on phys. Feel free to reply.

GWU research designed a new VCSEL that uses a multi-feedback approach from multiple coupled cavities, allowing it to exceed 30GHz modulation, “a resulting modulation bandwidth in the 100GHz range is expected”.
