"Do we know if POET's VCSEL can adress all these requirements highlighted by Phillips for optical interconnects? "

Answer is this :- YES

There are a couple of milestone (Proof Points) to be achieved in Q2 that essentially proove what was done in the lab can be done in a high volume state-of-the-art commercial foundry.

Once this is done, and we have heard Suresh being very bullish that this will be done, on time and on cost, the POET VCSEL technology will achieve the Fit, Form, Function, Cost and Manufacturability criteria that will set POET's VCSEL apart from current technology and commercially available devices / systems.

This is game changing technology and the game will be disrupted by POET.
