$POETF $POET Some remarks at the CC by Suresh, the CEO, on 11/12/2019:

Our vision for the company continues to be for POET to be a Global leader chip-scale integrated photonic solutions.

POET has and continues to be in the business of disruptive technology creation and unlocking its value and potential.

Our means to achieving this vision is through the optical interposer, which is a true platform technology providing a physical means to combine electronics with all the key devices that are needed for photonics: lasers, modulators, waveguides, and importantly, for the first time, multiplexers and de-multiplexers, in the same wafer-scale form factor. Individual components can be mixed and matched into various configurations to meet the requirement of different applications.

The optical interposer is of course enabled by our unique integration of low-loss optical waveguides and passive devices that are compatible with semiconductor fab processes and they enable this chip-scale packaging to be completed.

This enablement of a seamless integration of varied devices, along with the ability to fabricate and test at wafer-scale, is what makes the optical interposer platform so disruptive with semiconductor scalability providing a highly disruptive cost advantage.

No other company yet is at a comparable level of wafer-scale integration in photonics, especially when taken into account the integration of all the required passive components
