Laser company merger activity is heating up ! COHR is the stock symbol for Coherent

Coherent's stock surged on Friday amid news of another buyout offer for the company.
II-VI offered $260 per share for Santa Clara-based laser maker in an offer worth $6.5 billion.
The deal represents a 24% premium over Lumentum's previous offer and a 9.8% premium over MKS Instruments' proposal.

Applied Energetics is the exclusive developer of LASER Guided Energy (LGE™) and LASER Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC™) technologies. Will AERG be a target for merger or buyout or possibly be an acquirer of another related company ? Could one or more of these ideas be a partial reason for the recent surge in stock volume and price ?
