I am looking for information on fiber optics. I am thinking about building a very special purpose 100 Mbit computer communications channel using fiber. The problem is that I am also building the computers which means that I am starting from scratch and can't just buy some existing hardware to convert from RS232 to fiber. I want to serialize some data, say 32-40 bits wide, for transmission over fiber. What do I need to do this? How do I do it? Who manufactures fiber devices suitable for placing on a PC board? What is the cost? ANY information will be greatly appreciated.. -- Tait Cyrus (505) 277-0806 University of New Mexico Dept of Electrical & Computer Engineering Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131 e-mail: cyrus@hi.unm.edu or cyrus%hi.unm.edu@ariel.unm.edu
