Private free-space communication.

Seems more for distances shorter than a simple
cable run to the next house or business parcel.
The non-RF part is nice, but still... TEMPEST.
And military marketing means consumer priced
out, but worth inquiring.

Optics/RF are more for where you can't run fiber/copper,
can't run fiber/copper cheaply, need unique range or altitude
solutions, need to be transient or discreet, or diversity
in hop tech, etc.

Perhaps point is, in a p2p meshnet, reliability and speed
of fiber/copper come first choice.

China's researchers are working on some cool stuff,
try writing her to ask for a list of papers, request
ones of interest, and links to their favorite hopefully
open paper repos...

A scheme for optical parallel encryption/decryption of quadrature
phase shift keying (QPSK) signals is proposed, in which three QPSK
signals at 10  Gb/s are encrypted and decrypted simultaneously in the
optical domain through nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a highly
nonlinear fiber. The results of theoretical analysis and simulations
show that the scheme can perform high-speed wiretapping against the
encryption of parallel signals and receiver sensitivities of encrypted
signal and the decrypted signal are −25.9 and −23.8  dBm,
respectively, at the forward error correction threshold. The results
are useful for designing high-speed encryption/decryption of advanced
modulated signals and thus enhancing the physical layer security of
optical networks.
