Is anyone out there doing this... Has anyone worked with or heard of a process for transmitting power over a fiber-optic cable? I believe the theory behind this is to transmit light over a cable and then convert it to power via a photovoltaic cell or something similar. I need to respond to a question on a proposal on this subject today. If you have any information on this topic, please let me know. Thanks, Rob Robert E.
