Technology Semiconductors

POET Technologies Inc. is a design and development company. It offers high-speed optical engines, light source products and custom optical modules to the artificial intelligence (AI) systems market and to hyperscale data centers. Its photonic integration solutions are based on the POET Optical Interposer, a novel, patented platform that allows the integration of electronic and photonic devices into a single chip using wafer-level semiconductor manufacturing techniques. Its Optical Interposer-based products consume less power than comparable products, are smaller in size and are readily scalable to high production volumes. In addition, it has designed and produced novel light source products for chip-to-chip data communication within and between AI servers, the next frontier for solving bandwidth and latency problems in AI systems. Its Optical Interposer platform solves device integration challenges across a range of communication, computing and sensing applications.

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:I have added the following comment to the SH article...enjoy

Ctblizzard a very good discussion was held on the Agoracom board on Dec 23. A number of deficiencies were revealed but that was very impressive work done by a small group of academics.
The chip is monolithic in terms of passive optical elements. As in all silicon photonic solutions the laser is separate as silicon has is an indirect band gap material that does not lase. Germanium is also used (to improve photo detection) in this chip but it is also an indirect band gap material. No III-V materials which have a direct bandgap and are easy to lase are used for the usual reasons.
When we looked at in detail on Agoracom there were a number of issues that make it leaky. You can look at the discussion that took place in Dec 23 to good idea of some of the issues that were discussed.
