But in fact, the mode used in practically all fiber optic communications

is
simple on-off keying of a "carrier".

Very similar, in fact, to landwire telegraph practice, speeded up and
automated, and using photons instead of electrons.


Jim, your credibility is fast evaporating!!!!!! This is the most wildly
stretched and tortured analogy to hit rrap since FOREVER!


How so?

The old original landwire telegraph used a single (usually iron) wire and
on-off keying of an electric current. Fiber optics uses a glass fiber and
on-off keying of an beam of light, usually from a laser. Both sent messages by
time-domain multiplexing.

Next you'll tell
us that ...... aw never mind, I can't even read your stuff with a straight
face anymore. You're funnier than Masatoka whatever-his-name-was.


"Are you not entertained??? Is this not what you came here for??"*

Be well.
