"LU was bell labs. The most important contribution bell labs made in the 130 year history of ATT was the Princess phone. (yes, I know, that is an exaggeration, but they were the captive R&D for a company that had a billion dollar a day MONOPOLY. Just how hard do you think they had to work as a company culture?)" Quite a bit of truth to that. We interviewed many from Bell Labs in 1984 to help us start in long wavelength fiber optics and didn't hire a single one. You would think Bell Labs would have had some who could have helped us. My impression was about 5 Ph.D's from Lu did about the same amount of work at Bell Labs as a Berkeley EECS graduate with a BS degree or a Stanford with an MS (Berkeley had a pretty specific program for chip design that had engineers ready to go so to speak....) was doing at our HP division. They did seem to have skills at writing papers. -g-
