I thought this was a pretty good simple explanation of who Poet is today. I know most of us know all of this but this may be a good time to repeat it. Exciting times ahead. Good luck all..T

Yesterday, POET Technologies Inc (OTCQX: POETF) reached a price of $1.1525, up 13.75%. A total of 2.30M shares of POET Technologies stock were traded versus its average weekly volume of 881.40K. POET Technologies’ share price rose, despite no current news, which makes it easier to examine recent developments in greater depth.

What has been happening at POETF lately?

The POET Optical Interposer is a new platform developed by POET Technologies that offers integration solutions. By combining advanced semiconductor manufacturing techniques and packaging methods with electronic and photonic devices, POETF is able to seamlessly integrate both into a single multi-chip module. By replacing costly components with POETF’s Interposer, conventional photonics eliminates labor-intensive assembly, alignment, burn-in, testing, and maintenance procedures. Any device or system that integrates electronics and photonics can benefit from the cost-efficient integration scheme and scalability of the POETF Optical Interposer.

The O-band LightBar product from POET Technologies will be available for samples beginning in September, announced the company earlier this month.

• In applications requiring remote and aligned light sources, the POET LightBar products enable co-packaging of electronics and photonics.
• Among other applications, POETF’s products are used for data center switches, optical computing, and various sensing devices.
• Using a POETF LightBar remote light source in data processing will allow for more effective control of laser heat.
• Lasers, which are more likely to fail than other components, can also be replaced on-site with remote light sources.
• The LightBar of the POETF operates as a key element of sensing and computing in which both photonic and electronic elements interact in a miniature, self-contained system.
• In addition to adopting all of the intrinsic features of POETF’s products, LightBar products incorporate integrated spot-size converters that reduce coupling losses and boost laser efficiency.
• A virtual exhibition held at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference earlier this month featured live demonstrations of POETF products.

POET Technologies also announced that samples of its 100G and 200G CWDM4 Optical Engines would be available early in July. The POETF’s Optical Engines are embedded with four flip-chipped 28G PAM4 CWDM DFB (distributed feedback) lasers, as well as 28G detectors, monitor photodiodes, and bonding pads.

POETF’s other plans:

With the QSFP28 module, POETF Optical Engines are compatible with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards for transmitting only, receiving only or transmitting and receiving in a single compact chip less than 60mm square. Eventually, POETF will also offer 400G transmission and reception optical engines in DR4 and FR4. September will see the availability of samples of the receive optical engine by POETF.
