Sulasailor: … producing a detector with 2000 times more sensitivity … we now have a detector which is 2000 times more sensetive …
2000 times? Well, while the POET technology does indeed bring outstanding performance compared to conventional technology, performance gains are not that high.
The POET detector's responsivity is about 20 times that of current leading photodetectors, which is an improvement of about 1900 percent.
