POET Technologies (TSXV:PTK) and Luxshare Technology will develop more optical module products to improve the speed and fidelity of artificial intelligence (AI) networks and services.
New additions under the existing partnership will include:
- Luxshare’s 400G and 800G pluggable transceivers for single-mode fibre applications, which will incorporate POET’s transmit and receive 100G/lane and 200G/lane optical engines.
- A series of digital signal processor-based and linear pluggable optics products for 400G and 800G speeds using POET’s optical engines.
According to Thursday’s news release, the decision follows the “exceptional performance” of Luxshare’s 800G 2xFR4 OSFP modules combined with POET’s engines, which are based on its Optical Interposer platform.
POET’s Optical Interposer technology integrates electronic and photonic devices into a single chip using semiconductor manufacturing techniques. Products based on the Interposer have been shown to be lower cost, more energy efficient and smaller in size than competing alternatives.
Luxshare will manufacture optical modules under the partnership and sell them across the world.
