The answer is yes, in fact when ODIS was operational sensors and lasers were being used by and jointly manufactured at BAE's foundry in NH for military use. Contractually ODIS/POET was allowed to use the chips produced by BAE for any commercial applications POET wanted to address. Further BAE would, (for a fee) alter/develope chips to fit into commercial applications under ODIS/POET's direction. Other military product providers like Lockheed and Raytheon were ready to deploy as well and because of that BAE was about to begin work transitioning ODIS from GaAs to Idiom Phosphate (which would have been done within 2 years at BAE's Foundry) but Ajit and SV (who was just hired) met with BAE and stopped all work with BAE since SV said told BAE he could do it better, (BullS_ _ _). If ego's were not in the way we could have had product running many many years sooner then where POET is at today.
