While my physics isn't really all that brillant I have
heard of several problems with using fibre optics in the way
described. The first problem is that with current level of
technology multiple frequency fibre optics (and to a lessor
degree single frequency) are very sensitive to vibrations,
eg some one walking by your office. Because of these
vibrations the frequency gets thrown of wack a fair bit and
it becomes difficult to determine which frequency it
original came from. The second problem is being able to
build a lasers capable of being pulsed fast enoungh to get
the rates mentioned (recievers have the same problem).
Otherwise the use of fibre optics for interconnection make a
lot of sense.
