LWLG OSA will drop the price of todmorrow's 100Gbs in half, and use less than half the energy to power, and that's just to start, it scales from there for years to come, devices will be out for customer evaluations by end of 2017, expect to begin dominating multi-billion $$ markets in 2018, remember the units for the Industry needs are in the range of hundreds of millions for 2018 and beyond
The rise of PIC technologies for transceivers is clear: by 2021 we forecast that PIC based engines for transceivers will produce more revenue than discrete based transceivers. We forecast that PIC based transceivers will reach $20B in revenue by 2025. PIC based transceivers will be driven by 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps data rates where 100 Gbps is forecasted to reach $4.5B by 2025 and 400 Gbps is forecasted to reach $0.9B by 2025.
The summary is that our polymer-based PIC platform that is being developed for 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps is perfectly positioned to enable the data communications, telecommunications and other associated non-communications markets over the next decade.
