"We follow the 13th Five-Year national communications industry policy, focusing on FTTH, 5G mobile communications, big data and cloud computing industry, the introduction of high-end equipment and technology, R & D, production and sales of high speed optical communication transceiver chip, using its own chip, assembled into optical module and optical source. The implementation of VCSEL chip and AOC active optical cable project, will fill the blank of domestic optical communication industry chain technology, the project integrates chip, package, module production, AOC active optical cable technology, will complete the main passive components industry domestic optical communication industry chain."
The highlighted part regarding optical source makes me think that this optical source is separate, i.e. this is not a pully integrated solution like POET Technologies' GaAs platform.
