*OIDA Roadmap Report on Funding of Integrated Photonics (June 2014)

o No active alignment: Cost-competitive optical coupling


o No use of multi-channel lens assembly → Near-zero optical crosstalk
o No air gap → Very low reflection noise compared to the others
o High degree of freedom in heat sink design → Higher reliability & longer life time
o LESSENGERS patent technology: 36 patents granted/pending worldwide
