Precision Optics (POCI) is working on a WDM optical filter that it will sell to big players like LU,CIEN,UNPH,etc. The filter technology is the enabler in WDM and there are huge margins available as a result. I like LU and I am always looking for other telecom/WDM plays. POCI has spent the last year investing in infrastructure so most of the fixed costs are now behind the company. The company has stated that it will have a prototype ready by year end and will ramp up production in the first calendar quarter of 1998. With the market caps of companies like LU and CIEN fetching $billions,I don't see POCI's current $25 million cap lasting for long. Hope you find it interesting....Terry
