Fairchij: Actually Rainer the optical interconnect is as I understand it part of the effort below (from Oct 22 NR) This I believe represents a prototype demonstration chip and has a fairly high priority at a partners request.

I am aware of that, Fairchij, and we are not too far apart of each other. The only difference is that in your view the optical interconnect is part of the Q1 initiatives while I believe the Q1 initiatives (or at least the VCSEL) are part or prerequisite of an optical interconnect.

Anyway, I don't think POET Technologies will come out with a product in the sense of its own chip design that would be manufactured in volumes and sold on the market. POET will leave that to others who have the necessary skills, providing them with the innovative POET components ("devices").
