Comment on TSMC bets on unorthodox optical techparent

Comments

That's chromatic dispersion, mode dispersion is spatial "path" dependent phase changes. Vibration is actually somewhat more relevant because if it wasn't for that we could theoretically undo mode dispersion (we would need phase information though).

That said all of that is irrelevant to what the previous speaker said, vibration induced phase variation as an impairment. Thats just not an issue, vibrations are way too slow to impair optical comms signals.

How do the gravity wave optical paths solve the vibration issues? Couldn't TSMC do something similar?
