Mark's post includes this shocker. I'm sure Proto is preparing his character assassination of Mark as we speak:
This latest platform from Polaris is not even known by everybody, yet. So, while fibeReality has received feedback from its contacts that FNLC appears to be better than polymers, such as less troublesome, as well as intrinsically more robust (please see: https://lnkd.in/e-97jNKj), along with the former being simpler to process than barium titanate, these distinctions will be a lot more relevant at 800G per lane, well into the future (please see: https://lnkd.in/eF2dhU-p). Polaris will then have to demonstrate high-volume yields as well as substantially lower cost because at the end of the day, they will be the sole success factors.
Lightwave and Polaris/Cory probably have some very interesting stories to tell about each other.
Why did he leave? Obviously he thought he could take his invention and improve upon perkanimine.
And/or maybe he sees FNLC as his ticket to a nice buyout by Lightwave.
Time will tell if Lightwave or the industry is going to take it seriously or not.
