According to the Wall Street Journal, they make photonic processors, which has something to do with fiber optics, but I have no idea how photonic processors work or whether Avanex is the best at what they do or whether anyone is buying photonic processors right now. Do you? If you are having a difficult time understanding the difference between DWDM and TDMA or need to know why Sonet is on it's way out and Point-to-Point is in. Or what a photonic processor does or what you would use one for (hint: this message is most likely being delivered to you using one) there is a site to help you see the light. The site contains some very good tutorials for those who want to understand the technology used in fiber optic networking from a layman's perspective. You don't have to be a physicist or engineer to understand the papers. I use these tutorials all the time. iec.org BTW I agree that Gilder doesn't have a great stock picking record.....but then in the last year who does? Gilder does have a pretty good handle on how all this stuff fits together from a technology perspective.
