Since we have different frequencies for the lasers, you and your peer would have to agree ahead of time and stock that particular frequency or "color." IT's a major stocking nightmare especially for spares. The real explosion may occur as tunable lasers drop in price that can allow 8 or more different frequencies.
there are nifty boxes out (have been for 8 months or so) that do wavelength conversion. so the box-operator in the middle handles the wavelength map, and users on each end can all use the same lasers (colors). they were expensive at the time I looked but I would think prices would have come down. but yes, cheap tunables would be great. -b
