Summary:It has become painfully obvious to designers of optical devices and free-space links that their technology has yet to find a home inside the computer. PCs may have "Intel Inside" but they definitely don't have VCSELs inside, save for the board edge where they're in modules communicating outside the box. Why is this the case and when will it change?.
