Great interview; it certainly shook some very old neurons that held deep knowledge about fiber optics in general… I still recall my amazement with the light amplification factor mentioned by Mark.
Datasheets for discrete parts are really tricky… Long gone is the in-depth characterization work done by giants such as Motorola, Philips, Siemens, RCA… I used to have Motorola and Philips databooks filled with trace curves even for simple transistors such as a BC547/8/9. Nowadays we only have simple average numbers… Oh well…
