November 12, 2018: POET Technologies Receives First Orders for Optical Interposer Solutions
The POET Optical Interposer is a novel platform that facilitates the co-packaging of electronics and optics in a single Chip Scale Package (CSP). The Optical Interposer, incorporating POET’s dielectric waveguide technology, reduces coupling and transmission losses below levels found in conventional and silicon photonics (SiPh)-based devices and allows passive optical alignment as well as automated wafer scale pick-and-place assembly and test. The result is a dramatic reduction in manufacturing costs, lower power consumption, and often smaller form factors compared to other approaches, allowing POET’s customers to produce highly differentiated products across a range of advanced photonics applications.
POET’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, commented, “We introduced the Optical Interposer in January of this year and have now received multiple orders from datacom and telecom industry leaders. This validates that we have a compelling photonics integration platform. The Optical Interposer enables manufacturers of conventional and silicon photonics transceiver modules to reduce costs and, in some cases, to cost-effectively transition from 100G to 400G products using a common platform architecture. We expect these current orders to lead to the inclusion of more of our Optical Interposer technology in current and future products, including 400G transceivers for datacom and low-cost devices targeted at the high-growth market for 5G cellular and next generation access networks.”
February 4, 2019: POET Technologies Receives Offer for DenseLight Subsidiary
DenseLight was acquired by POET in May 2016 for US$10.5 million in POET common stock and has been engaged primarily in the development of new sensing and datacom products, including active devices for POET’s Optical Interposer platform. DenseLight’s sales of LEDs and other light sources, along with contract engineering for third parties, has grown to US$3.8 million (C$5.1 million) annually in 2018 from $1.9 million (C$2.5 million) in 2016. Since the introduction of its Optical Interposer technology in January 2018, POET’s development has expanded to optical waveguide designs fabricated by its manufacturing partner based in Malaysia and on novel packaging techniques related to the Optical Interposer.
