from the OpticsExpress paper:
"measured propagation losses were 4.3 dB/m at 2.936 μm"
100x more than regular fiber, at wavelengths we don't use for communications... I'm not sure if I see how this is useful.
Actually, it's worse. You failed to note that these guys measure in dB/m, whereas typical fiber losses are in dB/km...
