AMOOFDM!!

No, it’s not a new expletive that should have been deleted by a family- or business-friendly Web filter. It’s an acronym for “adaptively modulated optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing.” That’s a modulation scheme that Senior Technical Editor Martin Rowe came across at the OFC/NFOEC tradeshow in Anaheim this week.
