Andech, I think this is fantastic.....the best part that I like is

" fewer devices or ultimately onto a SINGLE CHIP FOR MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS SIZE, POWER, SPEED AND COST.

To the right and up, AWAY UP.....

thanks to all the great people on this board who make life easy for the rest of us not so brilliant followers.....GLTA

POET Technologies Inc. is the developer of an integrated photonics platform that will power the next wave of innovation in integrated circuits, by combining electronics and optics onto fewer devices or ultimately onto a single chip for massive improvements in size, power, speed and cost. The company’s current IP portfolio includes more than 65patents granted and filed. Our definition of“ “integrated photonics”” goes beyond the conventional approach to integration in the markets for optical data communication and other applications. We combinedevices into a single package with a unique approach to guiding the light using integrated dielectric materials to eliminate costly“active” alignment and lower cost by utilizing proven, wafer-level packaging techniques. Our technology also creates the potential forof a single, monolithic semiconductor chip that has all the elements needed to communicate data at the speed of light, but at the cost of copper.
