Well, fiber optic cable uses light to transmit data... a vibrating mirror could modulate the output. How to receive, well, that seems a bit harder! Also probably some small issues with precise timing and bitrate are to be expected.
Communication systems have methods to compensate for timing errors. And it's probably feasible to build all those circuits at the server side.
But bitrate would be low.
how small these "small issues" will be is of course a question of definition. Details, right? :)
