outside five sigma(@jwt0625):too new, my rule of thumb is 10-20 years for real mass production real advantage of it is large single mode emission area, great for FSO. DFB lasers are born for datacom, and has been grinded to be almost dirt cheap. CPO needs arrays of lasers on the wavelength grid (see oci-msa), no need for extra high power or large emission area.
