Agoracom: Small Cap Investment - POET Technologies Inc. - Intel Showcases a Photonics “First” — an Eight-wavelength Laser Array

I would say it is an improved remote laser source. If any, it is competition to POET´s Lightbar I think. I don´t know if more wavelenths will be common or a special use case in the future but more wavelengths sounds advantageus.

POET is proud of it´s OIs ability to integrate and tie/bond literally everything. So if Intel and POET both want to, it should extend the possibillities of the OI in the future. Both will have to do some customization for sure.

Intel announced "successful construction". This does not sound like "mass production ready" but I may be wrong on this...
