Message: Something worth while....

Rarely do I ever say anything worthwhile here? But I'm not alone in that as you all know. But I'm saying something this morning that is really "Worthwhile" and you all should review the NR's I've pasted below. They are 'Super Good'...

Four of them were released in one month(30 days)... Sept 9, Sept 14, Sept 29, and Oct 5. 

We should not be trying to control the share price of Poet from here. It means nothing, zero, nada, zilch. It ain't gonna happen. The share price will go up when the market and 'the powers that be' want it to. No sooner, no later, and it happens with every stock, and don't ever think otherwise. 

Now, instead of wasting your time and the time of everyone else here with this nonsense and getting everyone upset, start thinking positively. Read those 4 press releases again that I have posted below from Poet. I mean read them, study them, and then I dare you to come back here with anything other than positive thoughts about our 'Great' investment, in Poet Technologies.

I am truly happy, ecstatic almost, with where we are. Plus, like 54-40 said in his last post, we have more announcements coming in the next few weeks of another 2 customers.

Enough Said....T.. except READ THOSE PR'S BELOW. again

 

POET Technologies Teams-up with SiLUX Technologies to Demonstrate its 400G Optical Engine during China International Optoelectronics Exhibition

TORONTO and SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“ POET ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer™ and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, today reported that it will conduct a live demonstration of a 400G optical engine to selected customers and business partners during the upcoming ICCSZ Conference on September 14 - 15 and concurrent with the China International Optoelectronics Exhibition (CIOE) in Shenzhen, China on September 16 – 18, 2021.

The 400G optical engine to be demonstrated is based upon POET's novel hybrid integration platform, which incorporates four Continuous Wave (CW) lasers that have been flip-chip bonded to the Optical Interposer. The 400G CWDM4 optical engine has monolithically integrated optical multiplexers, waveguides and coupling structures.  SiluxTek's Silicon Photonic Modulator PIC is being used to complete the 400G engine, providing high-speed modulation of light for data transmission.  The pre-alpha prototype will be demonstrated live to invited guests in ICCSZ forum and POET’s Shenzhen lab concurrent with the CIOE exhibitions.

POET’s Optical Interposer is designed with a proprietary optical interconnect layer deposited onto a standard 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafer. The optical interconnect layer contains embedded passive devices such as multiplexers, de-multiplexers, spot-size converters and waveguides that allow light to pass among the devices and into connected optical fibers. Active devices, such as lasers, modulators and detectors communicate electrically at high frequencies through the metal layers that are embedded within the silicon wafer. This unique, patented architecture allows devices of different types to be seamlessly integrated, both optically and electrically, onto a single chip. In subsequent versions of the 400G Optical Engine, SiluxTek’s Silicon Photonic modulator will be passively flip-chipped onto the optical interposer, providing a low cost, scalable, high performance 400G solution.

“We are very pleased to have teamed-up with SiluxTek for this important live demonstration, which represents a key milestone for each company,” said Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager of POET Technologies. “Beyond proving the combined functions of 400G, we will conclusively demonstrate over the next few months the simplicity and versatility of POET’s Optical Interposer design, which allows leading edge chips, like the SiluxTek modulator PIC, to be rapidly integrated into our platform. In addition, the fully integrated optical engines designed by POET are fabricated and tested at wafer-scale, resulting in lower cost and the ability to rapidly scale production. This is a moment, I believe, that will catch the attention of leading module and systems companies based in China, both in and out of the datacom market space, in the potential uses for the POET Optical Interposer across a wide spectrum of photonics applications.”

Concurrently, POET Technologies will also be demonstrating its 100G CWDM Transmitter, its 200G CWDM Receiver and other novel remote light source designs. These demonstrations cumulatively provide a glimpse into POET’s product roadmap and capabilities.

 

POET Technologies Ships First Optical Engines Samples to Customers

TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“ POET ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer™ and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, today reported that the Company has shipped its first 100G Transmit (Tx) Optical Engine sample to a leading European optical systems company. The Company also confirmed that additional samples will be delivered to several other interested companies over the next month.   Several prospective customers are expected to participate in POET’s demonstrations of its Optical Interposer-based optical engine solutions this week, concurrent with the CIOE conference in Shenzhen.

The sample delivered to a leading European optical systems company supports a combined transmit and receive Optical Engine product, which has been developed for an innovative 400G transceiver application.  The Alpha samples demonstrate excellent margin to the transmit link budget at operating temperatures with excellent optical eye margins (an optical eye is a fundamental measure of data signal integrity). Internal testing shows that only minor improvements are required for a Beta release that would meet all of the requirements for production. These changes have already been incorporated in the Beta designs, which have just been released to the mask shop for production.

“The importance of achieving this milestone cannot be over-emphasized,” said Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman & CEO of POET Technologies. “For most prospective customers in this industry, ‘seeing is believing’ is a dominant theme. In spite of 20 years of trying, no other company has been successful in developing a versatile hybrid integration platform. A number of customers and business partners will be taking delivery of samples now and in the coming months – as they gain a full understanding of the simplicity and versatility of the POET Optical Interposer platform, we believe it has the potential to become a new standard for packaging in the photonics industry. The shipment of samples constitutes a completion of over three years of technology and product development culminating in placing market viable products in customers hands.”

The Company reported earlier that it will be demonstrating a 400G Transmit Engine with a silicon photonics-based modulator from SiluxTek, a 100G CWDM Transmitter, a 200G CWDM Receiver and other novel remote light source designs during the ICCSZ and CIOE conference occurring this week in Shenzhen, China. These demonstrations cumulatively provide a glimpse into POET’s product roadmap and capabilities.

POET Technologies Launches Its Products and Optical Interposer Platform in China to Critical Acclaim

Live Product Demonstrations Yield Numerous Customer Engagements

TORONTO and SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and telecommunication markets, announced that its participation in the two leading optoelectronics conferences / exhibitions in China earlier this month generated overwhelming interest and numerous customer engagements in both its announced Optical Engine products and the novelty and versatility of its Optical Interposer platform. Notably, Shenzhen Fibertop Technology Co., Ltd., (“Fibertop”) a transceiver module supplier, committed during the week to incorporate POET Optical Engines in its line of optical modules as soon as production Optical Engines are available.

Live demos of six different applications of the POET Optical Interposer encompassing both standard and custom products developed by POET were conducted over five full days (September 14 – 18) in conjunction with the ICCSZ and CIOE Conferences. The live demos were held in meeting rooms located at both of the conference venues and in POET’s lab in Shenzhen, China. In addition, Dr. Mo Jinyu, POET’s Senior Vice President – Asia, gave an invited presentation during the ICCSZ Conference which was attended by nearly one thousand industry participants.

Among the attendees of the live demonstrations were more than 60 C-level and senior R&D executives representing over 20 companies, including major China-based network equipment suppliers, Tier 1 transceiver module companies, leading optical module and fiber optic companies (several of which are publicly traded), data center operators, and major multi-billion-dollar public enterprise companies seeking to expand into the optical transceiver business. Strong interest was shown in engaging with POET on both a strategic level and in evaluating and subsequently sourcing the Company’s Optical Engine products outlined in its roadmap.

Attracting the most attention was POET’s demonstration of a 400G FR4 transmit engine done in connection with SiluxTek’s high performance Silicon Photonics-based modulator, as a two-chip demo. Over the next several months, POET plans to transform the two-chip pre-Alpha prototype into a fully integrated transmit and receive Beta product for sampling to interested customers. The Company also demonstrated its standard products, soon to be in Beta form, featuring a 100G CWDM4 transmit engine, a 200G FR4 receive engine and three versions of its LightBar products, including a 4-channel transmit engine with continuous wave (CW) lasers and Arrayed Wave Guide (AWG) multiplexer, a dual two-channel version with low-loss Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) multiplexers and the Company’s newest advanced development, a LightBar designed to connect four separate channels into a single multi core fiber (MCF), a product with the potential to solve key challenges in 800G and co-packaging applications.

“Participation in these conferences and especially the live demonstrations made a tremendous impact on the optical ecosystem in China,” said Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager of POET Technologies, Inc. “The companies that attended the live demos now know who POET is and the significant value that we can provide to them. We were already engaged with a few customers, such as Fibertop and their commitment to adopt POET optical engines in their optical modules is a breakthrough for us. Other companies requested samples of our demonstrated products, and several more want to either engage in development contracts that would incorporate POET Optical Engines in their products or have POET incorporate their components into POET’s Optical Engines. Numerous opportunities for increased customer engagement in China, including with some of the largest players, resulted from this effort. I would like to commend and thank Dr. Mo Jinyu and her team in our Shenzhen office, as well as the team from our Super Photonics JV, for an outstanding debut of POET Technologies into the optoelectronics market in China.”
