NASA Application(s):

The NASA applications of most importance are

1.Phased array communication systems for satellite to satellite links

2.Phased array radars for terrain mapping, surveillance, and satellite control

3.Infrared focal plane arrays for thermal mapping of foreign bodies

4.High performance data processors and cpu's for on board satellite computers

5.Optical routers, optical switching fabrics and optical fiber interfaces for satellite internal wiring

6.Optical transceivers, optical FPGA's (field programmable gate arrays), optical memories and optical bus networks

7.Optoelectronic IC's to reduce power and enable much higher clock speed for synchronous systems

8.High speed optical AD converters

Non-NASA Commercial Application(s):

The non-NASA commercial applications are:

1.Next generation microprocessors. This is a huge global market ($400B) and is currently constrained by the saturation of the feature size. POET will replace most of these designs

2.Universal memory technology to combine static, dynamic and non-volatile memory functions

3.Optical transceiver market

4.Fiber to the home market

5.High speed data center. The POET processor will serve as the baseline technology for the next generation of high speed servers

6.Telecommunications will use POET ROADm's, POET optical switching fabrics and optical routers

7.High density memory - the POET thyristor will provide the universal memory technology as a basis for new system architectures

8.IR focal plane arrays for multiple markets including automotive.

9.The mobile electronic platform including smartphones , tablets and pads. The POET circuit will consolidate the processors into a single chip providing both RF and digital functions

10.All RF systems. For example the emerging wireless market at 60GHz is a perfect opportunity for POET as it is well within the bandwidth and allows POET to use radio over fiber techniques to perform the main distribution function.

11.The internet of things. POET is swell positioned to dominate this expansion of electronics into everyday control functions
