  23. fibre optic cable taps - 1993 optical computer on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 1
    a research project at the University of Colorado with a length of fibre optic cable for storage.
    Heuring and Jordan's clunky-looking contraption, five years in the making and the size of a compact car, wasn't designed to perform complex calculations--its memory is too small. Instead it serves as a "proof-of-principle machine": it proves that a computer can be built that stores its information in the form of light. In the Colorado researchers' machine, pulses of laser light zoom through two and a half miles of coiled fiber-optic cable. Each light pulse represents a one in binary code; darkness represents a zero. A sequence of these numbers traveling through the cable resembles a train whooshing by carrying a cargo of digital infromation, with each 12-foot-long "car" consisting of light or darkness. Traveling at the speed of light, each car completes about 75,000 laps through the coil in a second.
    Unlike electric signals, which stop after they're written on a silicon chip, the data trains keep going; the pulses of light never stop, racing continously around and around the cable. A high-speed counter interacts with the computer to keep track of what data are where in this loop. To retrieve a particular bit of data, the computer tells the counter where the bit is at that moment. The counter then calculates when the bit will reach the output port, and at that point the bit can be switched to some other place.
