Dr. Suresh Venkatesan reports

POET AND ALMAE TECHNOLOGIES SIGN AGREEMENT TO CO-DEVELOP TRANSMIT SOLUTIONS FOR POET S OPTICAL INTERPOSER PLATFORM

Poet Technologies Inc. has entered an agreement for the co-development of transmit device solutions with Almae Technologies SAS, a France-based manufacturer of advanced photonic products. The purpose of the agreement is to jointly develop, manufacture and sell a series of laser modules based on Poet's Optical Interposer platform into high-speed data communication applications.

The companies will collaborate on designs of lasers and modulators to be compatible with Poet's Optical Interposer and to provide foundry services for both epitaxial supply and device fabrication. The collective efforts of the two companies will be carried out through a series of overlapping projects, covering co-development activities, commercial arrangements, the exchange of data and techniques, and strategies for pursuing global go-to-market sales.

Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Poet's chief executive officer, commented: "We are very pleased to establish a framework for collaboration with Almae, a leading European supplier of high-performance EML lasers based on a novel buried heterostructure design and an advanced PIC fabrication platform. In addition to the joint development of Optical Interposer-compatible devices, the agreement outlines an arrangement for sharing expertise and resources to accelerate time to market for both companies, while also expanding our collective geographic reach and providing a much larger market opportunity."
