Takeaways from the Roadmap for Polymers
Comparing the materials rows, we see that the polymer photonics technology platform has the
purple brick further out in in time (positioned more to the right of the roadmap) than the other
technology platforms. This is due to the fact that electro-optic polymer devices intrinsically
operate much faster, and with lower power consumption than the semiconductor equivalents.
Conversely stated, non-polymer technologies reach the barriers sooner or at more risk to
achieve the metrics needed for the integrated photonics fiber communications industry .
Specifically, this means that for the applications circled in red in the top row, namely 800Gbps1600Gbps module capacity and 100Tbps/1U density, polymers do not require fundamental
additional invention to achieve these speeds with the requisite power and other attributes.
Designing optical devices beyond 70GHz analog optical 3dB bandwidth will be a challenge for all
optical devices in the industry, however, electro-optic polymers not only are expected to reach
these goals first but are expected to lead the industry in performance by the end of the decade.
The roadmap document also lays out some upcoming goals specific to polymers as summarized
in Figure 3. One focus area is standardization including material-specific test and measurement
techniques as well as Telcordia qualification. The importance of integration with other PIC
platforms has already been discussed.
Also on page 9:
Polymer photonics modulators
achieve 70GHz 3dB optical analog bandwidths already and are on their way to 100 GHz shortly.

New job posting - Photonic Device Evaluation Engineer
https://jobs.workinoptics.com/jobs/rss/14503245/photonic-device-evaluation-engineer
POET Technologies Targets New Markets for Co-Packaged Optics and Optical Sensing Applications with LightBar-C™ Product
TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, announced that it has extended the Optical Interposer into new applications and markets with a fully-integrated, multiplexed light-source for optical computing chipsets and sensing applications, named “LightBar-C™”.
The POET Optical Interposer platform has been extended and validated with the intrinsic features to support Conventional Band (“C-band”) and Long Band (“L-band”) lasers that produce light in a frequency range of 1530nm to 1625nm. POET has designed, developed and demonstrated cooled lasers for the Optical Interposer platform with up to 90mW of power operating at room temperature. In addition, the Company has designed and demonstrated a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer (“DWDM”) embedded in the Optical Interposer waveguide layer that allows channel spacings of 200GHz, providing the high density and broadband requirements needed for high-performance optical sensing and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) applications, such as optical computing chipsets for Artificial Intelligence.
The Company’s first product to incorporate all of these features is the POET LightBar-C, which includes integrated spot-size converters that minimize coupling losses and increase power efficiency of components, such as multiplexers and detectors. The product provides low-loss fiber and free-space coupling, all specifically developed for highly integrated solutions within the C-band frequencies. The LightBar-C also utilizes a versatile and integrated laser source with multiple wavelengths (from 2 up to 8) multiplexed in the C-Band.
The optical bandwidth in the C-band is in the “eye-safe” region, which makes it ideal for free-space sensing applications. Consequently, C-band light solutions are expected to be foundational to the next generation of LiDAR solutions where high sensitivity, high power, reduced atmospheric influence and eye safety are presumed to be essential requirements.
“The mega trends of Cloud Computing, 5G Communications and the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence are spawning numerous applications and driving increasing volume demands for both high-performance lasers and integrated photonics solutions. These applications require a step function improvement in packaging and scalability,” commented Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman & CEO of POET Technologies. “Current photonics products are still assembled and tested using conventional and esoteric packaging technologies that ultimately limit production scalability. POET’s Optical Interposer addresses key integration and scalability challenges with a unified wafer-scale hybrid integration platform that seamlessly merges the benefits of Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLCs) and electrical interposer functionality for co-packaging electronics and optics within a single chip-scale package.”
As with previously announced Optical Interposer-based solutions, POET’s unique method of hybrid integration enables products with small form-factors and high performance. POET’s wafer-scale hybrid integration approach simplifies the manufacturing, assembly and testing of the passively assembled optical sub-system while simultaneously maximizing power efficiency with reduced coupling losses through the complete link.
The extensibility to the C-band frequency range comprised of 15xx wavelengths of light further exemplifies the value of the Company’s hybrid platform approach, as the same fundamental Optical Interposer manufacturing process and design kits can be utilized to deliver solutions across a wide range of applications.

"Our portfolio of patents is strongest in the materials segment, where we maintain over 35 patents enabling unrivaled performance characteristics. As we have noted for the past year, we have been focusing on building strong and defendable patents in fabrication of chromophores with polymer materials and in this segment, we have achieved over 7 patents to-date. Designing electro-optical materials into high performing chromophores, and then fabricating them into modulator devices has allowed us to patent a number of high performing designs and structures. This has led us to build our device portfolio to over 15 patents. Electro-optic polymer modulator devices need to be packaged for operation, and we have also proudly generated over 15 high-performance package patents so that our modulators can be prototyped in data centric applications. In addition, we currently are processing a number of new inventions in the materials, chemistry, fabrication, devices and packaging spaces that are currently under review at the U.S. Patent office.
"IP efforts such as these serve to further solidify our U.S. and International patent portfolio, protecting our technology platform and strengthening our competitive position in the industry. As we continue to generate strong interest from industry players, our IP portfolio will enable us to consider complementary revenue opportunities as we progress with potential partners in 2021 to address the telecommunications and datacenter segments of the market.
"I can proudly say that the tireless efforts of our engineers and scientists have created a very strong competitive position for the company. I look forward to continued success on this front as we march ever closer to mass commercialization – a key milestone in our efforts to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Lebby.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced the receipt of a patent on a new polymer modulator packaging invention, enabling low-cost and high-volume applications in datacenter and telecommunications markets.
U.S. Patent number 10,886,694, granted on January 5, 2021, details an invention that allows electro-optic polymer modulators to be packaged in a hermetic environment using well-known, high-volume and low-cost fabrication processes that are available in a typical semiconductor fabrication foundry – improving suitability for mass production. Further, the design of this capsule package can improve both the reliability and the coupling interface between fiber optic cables and their laser sources for arrayed photonic integrated circuit solutions. The package can also interpose signals from an underlying circuit board to the polymer modulators, lasers, and other components for data transfer.
As noted in the patent, the hermetic capsule is built from a semiconductor base that contains electrical and optical circuits and components. A hermetic capsule chamber is created by the design of a semiconductor lid that is sealed to the semiconductor base platform by a metallization process.
"Using standardized fabrication techniques to create a package that achieves the performance, reliability, cost, and volume requirements has been a challenge for the photonics industry for years," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "This incredible new hermetic capsule invention addresses this challenge, enabling the industry to progress past this hurdle. The team at Lightwave Logic is incredibly gifted to have created this and have all the skills and drive needed to push this breakthrough technological advancement through to a broader industry presence in the near-future.
"This is yet another important patent that serves to further strengthen our U.S. patent portfolio, as well as our freedom of manufacturing in the field.

Maybe this is a bad comparison, but look at POET Technologies. Their products should be rolling out in 2021 and they JUST signed a JV this year. They are now about to do their tape-outs. I just feel like perhaps our finalized products are still further out than we think?
I bought some more in the high .60s as well. I actually intended on selling those shares simply because we never hold our gains. I am actually pleasantly surprised this run has continued. We never seem to hold any gains.
Was this posted yet? Curious to hear anyone's thoughts...

POET Readies Optical Interposer for Production in Alignment with Product Roadmap
TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF) a leading designer of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, announced today that it has added several new features to its proprietary POET Optical Interposer™ platform and completed the design for products identified on its roadmap.
New Optical Interposer features include:
waveguide designs and process integration methods that minimize reflections of laser light within the Optical Interposer platform;
fiducials that better enable the sub-micron accuracy of automated pick-and-place assembly of lasers and other components mechanically placed on the platform;
vertical mirrors that extend the platform applicability to top- and bottom-surface-access optical devices, such as top-entry photodetectors and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs);
improved spot-size converters that provide efficient coupling of lasers and modulators to waveguides (important for 400G and 800G optical engines);
the latest generation of low-loss Mach-Zehnder Interferometry (“MZI”)-based multiplexers embedded in the waveguides; and
newly developed IP to efficiently align fiber-attach-units (FAUs) to POET’s optical engines.
“We have determined that the Optical Interposer platform is now production-ready,” said Vivek Rajgarhia, POET’s President & General Manager. “We have proven out all of the features and production methods for the platform itself, including the flip-chip assembly and bonding steps for lasers, which has historically been the “Achilles’ Heel” for other approaches to optoelectronic integration. The basic platform features, now completed, apply to all of the products that we are engaged with customers to develop. The pre-Alpha and Alpha prototypes that are now being assembled differ primarily in the particular components included, and in most cases, those designs have been validated.”
Mr. Rajgarhia continued: “The POET Optical Interposer platform is fully compatible with standard CMOS semiconductor processing methods and equipment. It seamlessly incorporates the best features of a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC), Silicon Optical Benches (SiOB) and Interposer functionality and is fabricated solely within the production limits of silicon-based semiconductor processing. In addition to being fundamental to lower-cost and the higher-performance value proposition of the Optical Interposer, the processing compatibility with CMOS opens up a variety of applications to POET that are simply not available using other integration approaches seen in the market today.”
POET’s product roadmap, presented in its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders conducted in late August, revealed four products under development, each associated with an individual customer or potential groups of customers. The Company reported that the 100/200G CWDM4 Optical Engine, the 400G LightBar™, 400G FR4 Receiver, and the 400G FR4/DR Optical Engines all remain on schedule.

Okely Dokely Mr. Ned FLanders
I am a little surprised the share price isn't higher today after the news. I hope the company continues to release updates so we can continue the trend upwards. I wish we would do more promotion of this news on social media, LinkedIn, through the advisory board, MZ group, another Jose Pozo interview, etc. If we still don't have any deals we should be doing as much as possible to become more visible.
Spectra7 Announces Entry into 5G Mobile Infrastructure Market with its GaugeChanger™ Technology
New GC2801 Solution to Support Extended Temperature Requirements of Interconnects for Mobile Operators
October 19th, 2020
SAN JOSE, CA – (Business Wire) – (TSX-V:SEV) Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (“Spectra7” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, today announced its entry into the 5G mobile infrastructure market. The Company’s new GC2801 product will support extended temperature range requirements for ruggedized outdoor 5G network deployments.
The 5G infrastructure market is estimated to be valued at USD 784 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 48 billion by 2027, at a compounded annual growth rate of 67.1%. Major growth drivers include lower latency in 5G, growing adoption of virtual networking architecture in telecommunications, and growth in mobile data traffic.1
MARKET OPPORTUNITY EXPANSION
Spectra7 believes interconnect opportunities in the 5G mobile infrastructure market represent a high growth and immediately addressable expansion of the addressable market for Spectra7 GaugeChangerTM products over the next several years. As recently announced in the Company’s Q2 2020 earnings release on August 31st, 2020, the Company’s first 5G mobile operator is already in qualification and is expected to ramp production in 2021.
Spectra7’s opportunities encompass each end of the 5G mobile network, both at the edge and in the core.
5G NETWORK EDGE
At the mobile network edge, there is an urgent need for single channel high bandwidth connections between Remote Radio Units and Baseband Units using an open standard protocol called enhanced Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI). Here, a ruggedized version of the standard SFP connector is typically used. Using optics for longer length connections is a must, but for the many shorter lengths up to 12 meters, Spectra7’s solution is much lower power and less expensive than specialized wide temperature range optical components.
5G NETWORK CORE
In the core, mobile operators are embracing a new core switching architecture called Distributed, Disaggregated Chassis which eliminates traditional large monolithic modular switches and moves to a more flexible design using 1U and 2U “pizza box” switches. This architecture is being led by AT&T who released a 400Gbps PAM4 switch reference design2 in late 2019 to the Open Compute Project. In this architecture, cables replace the traditional backplane. Spectra7 enabled Active Copper Cables (ACCs) are ideal here due to their much thinner gauge, low power and lower cost compared to optics
GAUGECHANGERTM GC2801
The GC2801 is the latest addition to the GaugeChangerTM product line and supports a single channel of 56Gbps PAM4 signaling over an extended temperature range of -40 to 85C that is required for the extreme conditions of outdoor 5G deployments. Standard optical components will not support this temperature range, forcing interconnect suppliers to use much more expensive premium priced optical components. Spectra7’s GC2801 provides a low power, cost effective solution for lengths up to 12 meters. The GC2801 enables ACC interconnects compliant with the eCPRI standard that is widely used by mobile carriers.
“We are thrilled to extend our unique technology to an entirely new market," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. "We have several customers ready to start building qualification samples with these new GC2801 parts."
GaugeChangerTM is an innovative and disruptive technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25 Gbps NRZ and 50 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200 and 400 Gbps.
I have been just as frustrated as most here but the fact that the company has been so silent clearly is not by choice. To me, they must have a pretty large NDA and the Tier 1 wants as little as possible known. I doubt it is Lightwave that wants to be radio silent. When they finally release the PR we have been waiting for, this thing is going to FLY. Place your bets. If you want to complain, sell your shares and move on.
