POET Technologies Announces Development of Micro Multiplexer and De-Multiplexer Solutions
GlobeNewswire•January 31, 2017
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET”) (POETF) (PTK.V), a developer of opto-electronic fabrication processes for the semiconductor industry, today announced that it will release in the second half of 2017 a low loss, low cost micro multiplexer and de-multiplexer product for 100G and above transceivers based on the technology developed at its subsidiary BB Photonics Inc.
The Company has been developing dielectric arrayed waveguide grating devices based on its low stress dielectric technology that incorporates increased wavelength and routing functionality. The devices include mode size converters within the dielectric to modify the coupling requirements to single mode fiber while also reducing packaging costs. The dielectric technology is manufactured on large diameter silicon wafers to reduce cost and enable quick scale-up for volume manufacturing. The initial release will be a stand-alone product for the high speed transceiver market to lower the cost of discrete multiplexer and de-multiplexer components used in 100G transceivers.
Bill Ring, Senior Vice President of POET Technologies stated, “The low stress dielectric technology the Company has been developing enables implementation of compact, highly reliable multiplexers and de-multiplexers. These products are more compact than competing Silica PLC or Thin Film Filter technologies, enabling the integration of increased waveguide functionality to reduce packaging costs.”
The key features of the product are:
Arrayed Waveguide Devices with Mode converters
Low insertion loss
Matching of the output to single mode fiber
Elimination of coupling optics between the waveguide output and single mode fiber
Low rate of change of the Filter response with temperature of < 0.014nm per degrees
Low polarization dependent loss equivalent to Silica PLC devices
Smaller footprint than Silica PLC devices
Telcordia qualified
POET Technologies is offering this low cost family of products to transceiver vendors as an alternative component for the integration of discrete packaged devices with a large number of wavelengths in a more compact footprint. The technology is well suited for LAN WDM product solutions.
Engineering samples are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2017 with production commencing in the second half of the year.
