that's garbage blissfest.

From the Feb.24 NR

The accomplishment is made more significant because the POET wafers used for the IR devices were fabricated with an independent foundry, BAE Systems' Microelectronics Center in Nashua, New Hampshire. BAE Systems has produced compound semiconductor devices based on gallium arsenide for more than 20 years for use in its defense, radar, and communications systems. This milestone, therefore, represents the integration by a third party of the optoelectronic process previously demonstrated in POET laboratories.

"Having IR detection for the first time is a major milestone for the POET technology," said Dr. Pane Chao, technical director at BAE Systems' Microelectronics Center. "BAE Systems' relationship with POET Technologies is mutually beneficial in that we are able to supply foundry services while being exposed to this rapidly evolving capability."
