Sweet... I like the use of multiple frequencies of light. I wonder if they were using the whole spectrum. Anyways, we're not going to see that anytime soon as consumers, but I'd bet that enterprise-level storage systems could greatly benefit from that. I mean, how fast are our current SAN offerings? about 10000Mbps? Sure, we can multiply the bandwidth dramatically, but eventually, we're gonna hit storage as a bottleneck again. like, our EMC's couldn't cache 4TB/sec, because the stupid disks at the end of it all would still only be spinning at 15k RPM... I guess we need some sort of phased light/holographic system for huge/fast long term storage... Meh, baby steps
