Shash, your list of points are right on the money.

We need to pay close attention to the following comment by Suresh.

 It’s important to understand, while we call it a Lightbar, It’s an extremely customizable solution. So, we do have a portfolio of lasers as well as a portfolio of filters and other functionality that we’ve established on the interposer and so it’s possible to customize these solutions for different applications and for different people’s needs. The first application is for a couple of different form factors, as we call it for this Lightbar… for data communications and those are the ones we will be sampling in the first quarter.

We don’t really know what the first application for the LightBar was intended for but I suspect it was to accommodate a direct connection of light into a silicon photonic chip.

The ability to precisely mode match light for direct insertion into a silicon waveguide for whatever application is required. To connect to whatever waveguide dimension the customer is using and whatever wavelengths are required.

I think the fiber attach combination to insert a remote laser came later or maybe simultaneously as the  most  viable solution for a light source  associated with the thermal environment at the high  powered ASIC switches. It is important for us to remember that high power silicon applications have been delayed as result of delays in the optical side.  And that has been true for pluggables as well.

POET has a family of LightBar products to catch up industries needs in the role out of new silicon.

So it  is  not  just high powered applications. It"s  the  ability to improve  efficiencies  associated with all  photonic integration applications.
