This tiny little company called POET Tech also is parnered up (in a way) with BAE Systems ( global defence, aerospace and security company) with a market cap of 23.3 billion dollars :)

“Having IR detection for the first time is a major milestone for the POET technology,” said Dr. Pane Chao, technical director at BAE Systems’ Microelectronics Center. “BAE Systems’ relationship with POET Technologies is mutually beneficial in that we are able to supply foundry services while being exposed to this rapidly evolving capability.”
Dr. Geoff Taylor, member of the Board of Directors of POET and Chief Scientist, said, “Our successful fabrication of a functioning integrated optoelectronic device, using the POET platform, should be considered a major breakthrough for POET and the industry.” Dr. Taylor went on to state, “This is a story about teamwork and shared vision, and the entire team deserves recognition for the work leading to this landmark achievement. POET will be the future platform for integrated IR and many other device systems.”
Sounds like a collaboration of POET Tech and BAE Systems on integrated optoelectronic infrared device fabrication and industrial foundry validation as well :D
cheers
