Jackthebear: It seems we all believe that before or at least by the end of the month we will see some news …
Sorry, but no sorry. What we do agree on is only that completing FET and VCSEL results have been announced for the end of the month. We don't know whether/when a corresponding news release will come.
Let's not forget they have promising results already, so things are looking good! I think they are optimizing production parameters in order to get a decent quality and a decent yield, they'll double- and triple-check everything and then – perhaps – they'll start to prepare an announcement.
But wait, potential partners will also want to check the resulting chips/components. I have know idea whether POET will release news before or after such partner checks.
Anyway, there might be a considerable delay between finishing the results and finishing a news release.
