"I imagine that on the 7th of March 17 at Brussels PIC  SV may be able to relieve some of the tension when he addresses delegates at the PIC on the POET offering."

Well, the Poet offering is a new product and family of products from a Denselight/BBPhotonics collaboration which is a low loss lower cost micro multiplexer and demultiplexer product for 110G and up transcievers. This is a silicon wafer product, not a GaAs wafer. This is great news in and of itself and should be generate high NRE traffic and sales revenue.

But this is not what many of you call a "POET" product. Suresh is still stating unequivocally that first transciever is still out at the 2018 window.

The challenge now will be to get income ahead of output by means of DL/BB/PoET laser products until that time.

I think they will pull it off
