Micro and Nano Mirrors. Today's passage from the upcoming paperback edition of the POET Technologies Semiconductor Company Profiles Report, part of "The Dawn of the Nanophotonics Age Series" focuses on micro and nanomirror technology.

The prerelease excerpt, below, spells out in modern engineering terms, the ABC's of today's micro and nano mirror technology. Still though there is much more to be said. Mirror technology has been studied by optical scientists, magicians, and fairy tale writers throughout the millenniums. The mirror has a technology history that data backs to 6000 BC. The famous fairy tale, Snow White, is based on a magic mirror.

"The waveguide layer on the POET interposer is on the top layer. This waveguide layer is used to guide light down a path and also used to monolithically embed optical devices like optical multiplexers, demultiplexers, filters, gratings, spot size converters, and others optical devices. POET's optical waveguides have embedded micromirrors within them.

Adding some insight into the spot converter is POET’s Dual Core Waveguide patent, Patent number: 10976496. The patent’s abstract states “formation of dual core waveguide structures and to the formation of optical devices including spot size converters from these dual core waveguide structure for the receiving and routing of optical signals on substrates, interposers, and sub-mount assemblies.”

All of this illustrates, that light data is in an enviable position in that data rich light beams can be routed just about anywhere in an enclosed environment with the help of POET’s spot size converters, POET’s embedded waveguide mirrors and POET’s beam steering mirror technology.

The latter technology does explain why so many mainstream optical transceiver and AI computer companies and organizations would have an interest in POET from a technology standpoint. The ability to control the direction of micro and nano light beams towards micro and nano scale targets is considered a necessary technology for the success of next generation light-based wafer scale superchips, computer, network, and data center architectures."
