This little snip from the article caught my eye. (Emphasis added.) Currently, JDS Uniphase sells the bulk of its chips to Oak Industries' Lasertron division, Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks, and Pirelli; all these companies package their own modules. JDS Uniphase is moving to add packaging capability by the end of this year. This is a critical move: A typical terrestrial high-powered (300mW) 980-nm chip may sell for around $500; a packaged terrestrial module can garner in excess of $2200. Failure to add packaging by year-end could limit upside margin potential for the JDS Uniphase unit in 2000.
