Thanks, Pat, for coming up with these articles. I've bookmarked the lightreading web page. I note the following two points: 1) (taken from the NUFO article): Startup Iolon Inc. is also known to be making an ECL-based tunable laser, but it's pursuing a more tricky design, Smith reckons. "Based on the slides they show, it looks like Iolon is using the cavity configuration that we use in our test and measurement lasers. We abandoned that for telecom lasers ages ago." 2) (taken from the "Big Challenges", probably outdated report of 4/00): First, we haven't included external cavity lasers in this listing. These devices move mirrors mechanically and have a very wide tunable range. Vendors include Agilent Technologies Inc.http://www.agilent.com and New Focus Inc.http://www.newfocus.com. However, they're mainly used in lab environments. They're not likely to find widespread use in telecom networks. I'd certainly doubt that last statement! Knee-jerk reaction to today's JDSU annoucement not helping the sector... Thanks again, Trilobyte
