The acquisition of Silicon Light Machines (SLM) appears to have left some investors confused. This is understandable, but maybe I can help.

SLM was purchased by CY just a few weeks ago. Their technology (see link below) has some very interesting potential applications. One involves the tuning and possibly enabling frequency hopping capabilities for DWDM lasers - a huge market for 2001. The second involves eliminating some of the need to transform optical signals into electrical signals (photons to electrons) and then back again for switching and processing. This is commonly referred to a "switch fabric." Many consider this the "Holy Grail" of optical networking.

At any rate, you can bet that the analysts and fund managers will eventually catch on (they're pretty slow about this stuff, ya know). In the mean time, enjoy the opportunity to load up while CY is still priced as a "Blue Light Special."
