Photonics - General Science

This is definitely not a complete list. I could have listed many from Europe as well, so lets just say these are my favorite new companies in the US.

Of course, we haven't heard from Corning yet. The details of their Dow-Corning breakup, retaining Hemlock and setting up Versalume are all interesting.

I am convinced that there is definitely something going on at POET, but their shareholder hijacking in the fall just has me wondering what direction they are going. The big management shuffle and the obvious share grab make me believe something is coming, but I have lost some respect for them. I thought Bill Ring's presentation was good but even with the progress, I'm still wondering what's next. I still think the combination with LWLG's materials still has potential. The experience has made me appreciate the choices LWLG has made with LPC.
