This sounds similar to the Bookham and LUMM stuff. Yes? No? Maybe?

...and the IOT acquisition--along with its own semiconductor and lithium niobate modulator experience--offers it a leg up in etching small waveguide structures onto silicon. Useful waveguides are likely 2-4 years away, but getting a jump on this technology is crucial, in our eyes, for integrated optics for the new core network products coming down the pike.

I agree they're not there yet, however can they potentially encroach on JDSU's space with such a product? Sounds like breakthrough technology and the Cisco tech advisor says it's for real. Since I'm somewhat technically challenged, I'd appreciate your input.
