Lee,
Thanks for this passage:

>>To be specific, the mirror can rotate about hinges attached to a surrounding ring, which can rotate about hinges attached to yet another concentric ring. Each mirror is illuminated by a single wavelength and is tilted by electrostatic forces so that the individual wavelength can be passed on to one of 256 input and output fibers.<<

That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. It's friggin amazing if they can get this thing to work on a commercial level. As I said before, it seems Rube Goldberg! I have no clue about Nanovation's technique. It seems to be under wraps. Depending on how this goes, it could be huge for JDSU. The only thing we have to fear is a better technology. So far Nanovation sounds like hype.

You can buy Nanovation now. Before its IPO. PM me if you are interested.
