Okay I came all the way over here. I would have loved to go to OFC this year and looked into it, but it did not line up with my work schedule
Why don't you give me some more details on the light source. Was it test equipment like a keysight Tunable Laser Source? Was it a small, compact DBF laser array? I need discernible details, otherwise I think you're just a liar.
You say you can't post an Agoracom anymore, but anyone can make another Gmail in less than 5 min. I'm pretty sure that hellaMillions account is you, isn't it? Who else would have gone to OFC and saw CAI use another light source
Elad,
1) unfortunately I cannot come forward on Agoracom because I’ve been banned there twice and I’ve run out of email addresses to use.
2) for the low low price of paying for tickets to attend these conferences, you can get access to these presentations, slide decks, and technical papers.
I don’t need to post my proof. I’m not lying. I did not read the Terms of Service for the tickets, so I’m not sure I’m able to post copies of what was presented. The presentation slide decks showed “confidential” on them. The paper associated with the OFC presentation should be available to purchase in about 2 months via the Optica website.
Mr. MuffinCarnival,
You said, “It will be Starlight chiplets and not just anyone's external light source as suggested by a detractor who is not accepting that POET is making superior optical engines, via the OI platform, for anyone and everyone.”
At OFC last week, Celestial AI’s demo of its Photonic Fabric did not use a POET light source. Why? My whole point is that posters like you have made people believe that POET is the end-all-be-all exclusive supplier to CAI. I’m NOT saying CAI is NOT using POET anymore.
At Optica PECC last October, CAI’s entire presentation revolved around the Photonic Fabric. That’s because that is the core of all their offerings, even Orion. Orion wasn’t even mentioned in this presentation, or the OFC presentation for that matter.
Here’s a quote from a February 2022 article – “Celestial AI is developing an accelerator chip called Orion that’s designed to speed up machine learning applications. What sets the chip apart from the numerous existing AI accelerator products on the market is a technology dubbed Photonic Fabric. The technology transports data among the Orion chip’s circuits in the form of light, rather than in the form of electricity as most processors do.”
Here's a quote from yesterday’s article – “Unsurprisingly, most of Celestial’s traction has been on chiplets. “What we’re not doing is trying to force our customers into adopting any one specific product implementation. The lowest risk, fastest, least complex way to provide an interface into the Photonic Fabric right now is through chiplets,”
Another quote from yesterday’s article – “The challenge Celestial faces is timing. Lazovsky tells us that he expects to begin sampling Photonic Fabric chiplets to customers sometime in the second half of 2025. He then expects it will be at least another year before we see products using the design hit the market, with volume ramping in 2027.”
Unless I see something different from CAI or POET, I think you are wrong and misleading investors. I do wonder if you delete your posting history because part of you acknowledges some of your comments have been misleading.
To me, sounds like CAI has faced some delays. No big deal, that happens all the time in this space. Surely being a POET investor you should be used to that, too.
Clear as mud apparently. Maybe not for you because you think so highly of yourself.
“However, I am much closer to being accurate than most.” A bit pompous lol…
Jeepers. Creepers. Proto. You me Mac and a few others here should had veins of ice after holding poet for such a long long time. I hope and Please try not to let people get to you. You’re too good a talent to let that happen. GLA, Strik. P.S. I love to vent.
I really haven't posted anything bullish here in quite a long time, I was always a proponent of Poet and LWLG partnering, but that never happened so my interest waned, not because of the technology developments, but moreso because of the poor financing decisions over the years
Even after the CAI article was posted which said the following…
“Lazovsky tells us that he expects to begin sampling Photonic Fabric chiplets to customers sometime in the second half of 2025. He then expects it will be at least another year before we see products using the design hit the market, with volume ramping in 2027.”
…the circus is still trying to convince posters there that CAI will be shipping their Photonic Fabric to “everyone else starting in 2024 maybe 2025.”
Wut.
What’s even weirder is two of the main hypsters over there have completely erased their post history.
It’s quite comical to see the posts on Agoracom lately. When FJ gets asked to comment on direct questions that display the incompetence of Poet management, he comes on a day later and says “I am busy with other stuff and will return to the forum when there is something new to talk about”. Too funny.
Well, you pumped the stock so how do you feel about all the investors you caused to loose money?
Oleblue said, The chart doesn't look good.
really? wow thanks because I don't think anyone here had noticed it, lol
Highly unlikely to be TFLN.
It’s likely an InP EAM and it would make sense if it’s from Lumentum.
Any idea on who’s laser Poet is using on the 200g per lane demo at the OFC?
The lumentum 200 g with a EML attached would be amazing Jmo.
TFLN?
Because Maz is either paid by Poet to spread Maz’s fertilizer or Maz is a total ………… I’ll be buying at .50 or below.
……..
Most doctors I know aren’t great business people. Having wealth or money doesn’t guarantee success.
How does an investor like Mazan back this company over and over?? Is he a preferred share holder? Does he exist? Or more Poet BS.
5 years ago I thought this stock was the real deal.
It’s been a death spiral after the split. Ajo

I’d like to be wrong, but POET doesn’t have time to now start a series of news releases to get the share price up. They thought the news last week would. Management has done that time and time again thinking their news would create buying. An OFC recap video or PR sure as hell won’t do anything.
Who the F would buy this stock when there is 0% trust in management who has proven to have horrible judgement…and there’s just a few weeks left until insolvency. (No need to argue that point because it’s true. Is it 2 weeks or 7 weeks until working capital turns negative…?doesn’t matter).
They need the money NOW.
I don’t think people understand that it is possible for shareholders to get completely wiped out but the company and its technology continue on. That is exactly what happened to Rockley.
Tick tock.
Prospectus Supplement- Dilution consequences
posted on Apr 03, 2024 12:47AM
It was my belief that the company was waiting for the Annual filing before issuing any material news.Now it is likely that there will be a full update re' OFC conference, with positive news .
The Prospectus states that they can sell up to US$ 24,123,758 worth of stock, which at latest close of US$1.30 is about 18,556,737 shares, which represents a dilution of about 39%, taking current declared outstanding shares at 47,660,352.
However if the market cap' of the company is below US$75MN then they can only sell 1/3rd of outstanding shares , about 15,886,784 shares, or appx 33% dilution, which at current close of US$1.30 would realize US$20.65 MN.
All the above assumes they sell the full amount of US$24.12 MN.
One now hopes and expects that Poet will start releasing a series of positive news releases (technical & commercial) to increase share value and minimize dilution.
Not sure if supplement to Prospectus has yet to be approved before it becomes effective.
Hopefully Poet, or the broker, has some heavy duty investors lined up to take this whole offering.
This is definitely not the non-dilutive financing that was promised but hopefully it is cost efficient, and gives the company some runway to get the rocket launched.
https://agoracom.com/ir/POETTechnologies/forums/discussion/topics/800097-prospectus-supplement-dilution-consequences/messages/2409524#message
wow, any thoughts on this, seems like this would create a lot of selling pressure on an already depressed PPS
LWLG is similar to Poet in the way they use their lips to promote their company. Which one will be the one with the proven wanted product? IMO, neither. I’ll continue to trade my traders and try to decrease my core a wee bit. I’ll be buying more trader shares when we hit around fifty cents a share shortly. Till then Poet will try to pump this up to around $1.60 to be able to cash in on warants. Afterwards the next offering will be another disaster for us but will be able to pay the salaries of the Poet Bozos.
Hey FJ, if Lebby/LWLG believed in Poet's Optical Interposer they would have bought a 5% or 10% stake on the fire sale PP that just went down at about measly buck a share with a full warrant, then they would get a board seat and better direct the Operations and most certainly the finances!!
The Plasmonic 400Gbs per lane NRZ is likely 3-5 years out for volume production
The Polymer 200gb per lane PAM4 is commercial ready TODAY
The Polymer 400gb per lane PAM4 will be commercial by 2025/2026
Hey FJ…since I’m not allowed in your fiefdom I’ll add a comment here.
The 400G per lane plasmonic/organic modulator is years away from commercialization. Your comment is not wrong.
But also understand that LWLG has silicon organic modulators operating at 150Ghz bandwidth which can hit 400G PAM4. Still, a few years away until the market needs that in general. I’d guess 2026 at the earliest will have the first prototype modules with 400G per lane modulators.
At least right now it solidifies EO polymer as a contender in this space for future growth. That’s the point. I’m aware of foundries who are unwilling to even start working with TFLN because that technology has physical limitations (let alone the integration issues). Liobates OFC presentation also indicated they are not close to having a commercial product.
You said POET started working with EMLs as a proactive measure. My understanding it was reactive. Sure…it shows the flexibility of the platform. But so what, really, when all photonics foundries can pick and choose KGD/components.
To get to 3.2T pluggables, POET will have to go beyond InP EAMs. They won’t be competitive at 3.2T.
Instead of commenting on LWLG’s 400G per lane news last week…how about the more relevant 200G modulator news. Mass produced in a silicon foundry on 200mm wafers (which foundry?! I think SkyWater). Excellent reliability (6,000+ hours!) and currently building their statistical database for their yet-to-be disclosed partner(s). Shoot, I haven’t seen more than 2,000 hours of reliability for POETs interposer. I do wonder if some of POET’s delays relate to reliability. Hmm.
Google last week mentioned they’re looking at polymer modulators for their heterogenous integration efforts. Hmm.
Ps…pretty sure POET started working with DML when their SiPh modulator efforts failed with Silux. Silux and Source Photonics appear to be making it work.
It seems to me Lazovsky likes to keep his tactical advantage very private, hence when they look under the hood , no starlight to be seen, mostly keep the name POET out of their grasp. If Poet has a cost and scale advantage and you want to hit the market running, you might do the same.
The bottom line is , Poet has to prove out the cost and scale advantage, if they can do that, they will have a winner in this photonics chiplet market (Ayar labs CAI, Lightmatter etc)
You guys know my inherent skepticism, I think what is confirmed here, that wasn’t entirely understood elsewhere, is that the light source is an external component, not integrated within the fabric. I know that sounds obvious, but for some reason it was not universally accepted.
So it makes sense to demo with an established technology, the FAU, versus one that might not be fully tested to the standard they may require, also demonstrates the flexibility of supply for external power source. Starlight might be the best option, but it will always be just that, an option, as technology always advances, it will have to evolve to remain relevant in an always competitive technology ecosystem. And CAI’s demo was for their Photonic Fabric, not POET’s Starlight.
POET hasn’t shown anything this past week that addresses the financial elephant sitting on their chest, That is all that matters for now.
I see chatter about this where I’m not allowed…lol
Yes CAI’s demo last week used a light source that wasn’t POETs.
It was a 24 channel FAU. In their presentation they had a zoomed in picture of it and it wasn’t StarLight.
Not horribly bad news, but it answers my previous question that CAI must have multiple sources of ELS.
Some people seemed to be under the assumption that CAI was exclusively using POET.
from what I have heard, the Celestial AI white paper at OFC does not indicate any Poet involvement in the light source
I wonder what imformation they are telling the people that provide them with supplies and the people who they will be selling products to?
considering how horribly dilutive Poet has been in its PP's, it may be better for them to just sell the company to a larger player with loads of Cash, unfortunately, negotiating from a weak financial position would likely result in offers in the 200M to 300M range which would only be like $4 to$6 per share, not very good for those long-term shareholders here, but perhaps reason to become a new shareholder today
Yup. All about the money. Annual report just came out and mentioned module sales ramping late 2025. So nothing anytime soon there. Frankly with their track record I’d just estimate 2026.
All current known customers’ revenue goes to SPX, not POET…except CelestialAI light sources which is a 2025+ ramp.
POET needs to raise at least $10-20 million between now and then.
Cash on hand minus short-term liabilities equals negative working capital within a matter of weeks.
Tom Mika is an abomination of a CFO.
Suresh should not be CEO.
Long time shareholders have already been diluted to oblivion and there’s no indication it’s going to end.
Annual report mentions again that POET is actively looking to sell a portion of the SPX JV. While that might not increase the share count, it has a similar effect. Then again what does it matter since that revenue would never hit POET’s books?
I still hold on hoping something comes out of left field to boost this stock price. As a self proclaimed ‘photonics enthusiast’, I think it’s a damned shame that incompetence ruined this investment. The technology has potential.
Agreed, it’s all about the money now, how they thread that needle without diluting us into oblivion remains to be seen.
It looks like Multilane will accelerate the 800G to market, I don’t know if they will be able to handle volume beyond samples.
HOLO bought big today 2,015 shares, could be nice bank soon
Here’s the China plus 1 news.
Multilane will be the manufacturer for modules outside China.
Still doesn’t answer the dire money issue…
From OFC a general update.
It’s the DML tx engine based on 100g per lane. The 200g per lane EmL tx will take to the end of 2024 to get samples out.
Sounds like 800g transceivers will generate direct sales to Poet if I read the CEO’s comments correctly.
Still wonder how the China plus one strategy fits into this complete transceiver solution plan.
Your eyes have finally opened and now you seem able to finally see through all the BS coming out to get the warrants cashed in
Nvm I watched the video.
It’ll be plugged in.
Still wondering if it’s their own Tx engine.
I’ll have my friend stop by the OFC booth and ask.
Funny name…Wavelight.
Might be a dumb question but does this 800G module work yet?
Also, are the 400G engines POET’s own? I understand the 400G Tx was still in development through 2024.
Can someone please refresh my memory?
What was the product that POET was developing for the tier1 company where they tried to use/ have developed a NOT known-good part?
Aaaand BANG. Repriced warrants.
A move of desperation for cash.
There’s the ceiling in stock price if/when it gets into the high $1’s for 10 consecutive days. Lots of selling of common to pay for warrant I imagine.
Acceleration clause triggered after 10 days above $1.59.
I agree with you. My time line is very short, my doctor says I should make it to the end of the year.
You, Mac, and a few others are way more savvy on POET’s tech. Me, as an investor, I’m more interested in Revenue rather than a seemingly endless prototypes and demos. Hope then eventually succeed, but my timeline on this earth is getting shorter. Strik
POET to Demo AI Hardware Products for 800G and Beyond at OFC 2024
7:00 am ET March 21, 2024 (Globe Newswire)
TORONTO and SAN DIEGO, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. ("POET" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: PTK; NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer(TM) and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center, telecommunication and AI markets, today announced it will expand on its leadership role in deploying next-generation silicon photonics products when it features live demonstrations of new modules and optical engines during the 2024 Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) Conference Exhibition to be held in San Diego, California from March 26 - 28, 2024.
The products that POET is scheduled to demonstrate include:
800G Optical Engines: An 800G 2xFR4 OSFP Module with integrated POET Optical Engines will be demonstrated to showcase the superior error free performance after transmission over 2km of single mode fiber. The module consists of two 400G silicon photonics transmitters and one integrated 800G receiver, operating on four ITU-defined CWDM wavelengths.
POET Starlight(TM): An 8-channel packaged light source for C-Band and O-Band wavelengths for chip-to-chip AI applications and co-packaged optics for the data center market. Starlight can be integrated on a host board and connected to chips and ASICs with built-in silicon photonics. It is ready for scalable manufacturing using individually mounted lasers rather than expensive laser arrays, driving lower cost and expandability to 64 channels and above.
200G/lane Optical Engines: OFC attendees will get a first look at POET's groundbreaking 200G/lane transmitter and receiver engines, fundamental building blocks for enabling pluggable transceivers at 1.6T and 3.2T data rates.
EML-based 100G/lane Transmit Optical Engine with integrated driver: The latest version of POET's Infinity chiplet incorporates externally modulated lasers (EMLs) and EML drivers that offer a highly integrated transmit solution with superior performance and at a lower cost for 400G and 800G FR4 applications.
Pluggable transceivers from module partners: POET will showcase pluggable transceivers from module partners like Luxshare-TECH, ZKTel and Fibertop from 100G to 800G speeds that use POET's Optical Interposer and Optical Engine technology.
"We expect the products we showcase at OFC will vault POET to the top of the conversation for AI networking leaders who need more speed, lower cost, and improved power efficiency. Those are the hallmarks of the POET Optical Interposer(TM) platform and why its elegant design is poised to power the age of photonics," stated Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, POET's Chairman & CEO.
The 2024 OFC Conference takes place at the San Diego Convention Center from March 26-28. Visit POET at Booth #5001 to see demonstrations.

wow, can't blame you for stopping. thanks.
I stopped asking over a year ago as the CFO told me I ask too sensitive questions.
I believe Poet is in a very risky state. But my friends call me captain obvious 😂
does the company answer direct questions? maybe you can ask them
I highly doubt they’d sell it down to that level yet. I’d guess 10-20% so down to 55-65%. That way once SPX ramps over the next couple years and contributes their cash/equipment, 25% is in reach in ~2 years for an IPO.
In any case, it was/is a horrible deal for POET shareholders.
Suresh knows that. The ‘climate’ against doing business with China was a thing when the deal was structured so his excuse for the pivot to China plus 1 being a new thing is not valid.
wow, if all this is true about Revenues at higher speed OE's still going to SPX, then it seems that selling Poet's JV interest down to 25% for a little cash for operations would be another bad deal for Poet, this JV has turned out to be "another nice mess you've gotten me into"
The other thing that comes to mind is who is making the lightbar products? They are built on the interposer technology at Silterra but they are not referred to in the agreement??
I’m hoping I’m right! lol otherwise Poet gets no direct revenues from the transceiver business in the telecom or data centers going forward.
Up to 3.2t it’s based on 400g optical engines.
The only revenue opportunity is in light sources.
If a quote comes in to Poet from a really big transceiver player outside of China, Superphotonics may say that’s a schedule n company.
No direct sales to Poet but it goes to the joint venture.
It maybe why Poet wants a China plus one strategy where poet makes a subsidiary and makes the complete transceiver outside China including the optical engines.
All with Superphotonics approval.
