Amazing read, thanks for this Chris!
Some takeaways:
- "Indium phosphide is so bad. It's actually insane. I don't know what a lot of people are going to do, but indium phosphide, anything indium phosphide related, is really, really, really bad."
- "But the processing of the indium phosphide into the crystal and then taking the wafer, then epitaxing the wafer and then printing the lasers onto the wafer, all of that, it's a complete disaster."
"Is there a subset of optics that you think is most important? The indium phosphide part, the lasers."
Great confirmation that lasers are the bottleneck.
@aleabitoreddit Will the upcoming IPO of Cerebras Systems Inc. on the Nasdaq next week deal a major bearish shock to the optical module industry? It has been speculated that the chips developed by CBRS will no longer require a large number of optical modules for communication interconnection.
