James, MEMS are hot, - tiny mirrors that rapidly oscillate to switch light circuits. But will they become obsolete in our time?

Now comes PBG - the optical equivalent of the transistor. The Holy Grail. If it ain't Cold Fusion, our world is about to change, rather dramatically.

I was one of the fortunate few who were in on laser applications back in the early days of electro-optics. At the time, the laser (spelled then as LASER), was described by the pundits as an invention looking for an application. I didn't think so, neither did others with half a brain. It is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century.

Perhaps, the PBG device will start off the 21st century with a giant kick. The applications already exist. Use your imagination a little.
