  1. Wave OpticsInvestor Presentation R.L. RL@waveoptics.com 1

  2. Wave Mission • Take Lead in Opto-Electronic Integration • System-driven O/E hybrid modules. • High-speed 10-40 GB/sec optical networking. • Quickly maximize market penetration and profitability • Develop next-generation hybrid technology now for 10-40 GB/sec applications. • High-value, high-margin products. • Novel Ultra-Dense WDM Technology • Exclusive licenses on Caltech patents. • Potentially “disruptive” technology.

  3. Wave Management • R. Logan, Ph.D. - President and Founder • Co-founder of JDS Uniphase Transmission System Division (1995-2000). • P/L Responsibility for Advanced Photonics Group at JDS Uniphase. • Directed Engineering, Marketing/Sales, Manufacturing for Advanced Photonics products. • Noted authority in advanced microwave photonics, invited speaker at international forums, many publications and patents. • JPL Member Technical Staff, developed novel microwave photonic antenna link (1988-1994).

  4. Wave Management • N. W., Ph.D. - VP of Engineering • Start-up experience at Beacon Power • Starting team through S-1 filing (~80 employees). • Invented pivotal enabling technology, transitioned to production on time and in budget. • R&D Group Founder and Manager. • Optics • Key founding member of Lafyatis experimental physics group at OSU. Published research in quantum optics. • BSEE Cornell Univ., emphasis in microwave engineering. • Advanced Systems Engineering at Varian Beverly microwave Division. • Developed innovative microwave photonic techniques for probing high-power microwave tube devices (1987-1990).

  5. Motivation for Hybrid Approach - Past - Present - Future - Hybrid performance superior to monolithic integration or discretes - 40 GB/s electronics constrained by 50-ohm device packaging

  6. Wave Hybrid Solution Existing Technology: present techniques are device-driven Wave Hybrid: System-driven

  7. Hybrid Integration Benefits • Utilize best-of-breed devices in all material systems to achieve state-of-the-art performance (Si, GaAs, InP, LiNbO3, polymers, Er-glass, MEMS switches, etc…) • Eliminate cost of redundant hermetic packaging of electronic and optical devices. • Optimize electronic and optical interfaces. • Reduce cost and size, improve performance.

  8. Caltech Patents • Industry consensus: Ultra-Dense WDM promises full utilization of fiber bandwidth. • New approach needed: development is limited by current laser & filter approaches. • Ppatents provide basis for ultra-dense packing of Wavelengths. • DARPA-funded Mode-Locked-Laser contract • DARPA-funded Photonic Synthesizer contract

  9. Market Size • 200k routers/switches per year • High end, metro, carrier based • Average 1.5 optical ports per • 2.5G, 10G, 40G • $10k per transceiver (2002) • $3 billion transceiver market per year

  10. Wave Potential Customers • Optical Networking OEMs • Nortel, Lucent Network Systems, ONI, Ciena, Sycamore Networks, Centerpoint Broadband, etc. • Internet Data Routing/Switching OEMs • Cisco, Juniper Networks, Avici, etc. • Advanced Aerospace Applications • Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, TRW, Hughes, etc.

  11. Wave Milestones • Organized as California LLC (June 2000) • $500,000 line of credit from JP Morgan guaranteed by CEO (Sept 2000) • $600,000 DARPA sub-contract for Mode-Locked Laser (Sept 2000) • Open 5000 sq. ft. facility in Pasadena CA, personal guarantee by CEO (Sept 2000) • $100,000 DARPA sub-contract for Photonic Synthesizer (expected Oct 2000) • Private equity round (Oct 2000) • Discussions with commercial customers

  12. Technology Roadmap

  13. Projected Revenues

  14. PowerPoint Tips • Number each slide • Decide on a single font • Use message titles • Not “Management” • Use “Experienced Management Team” • Test print hard copies in black and white • Make hard copies for judges • Include contact information

  15. PowerPoint Tips • Skip animations • Indicate “confidential” in footer • Include backup slides for ~15 questions • Read Tufte and Munter • Rehearse for timing and poise
