Sorry in advance if this has been discussed, and if so it would have been a few months ago. Have we discussed the white paper (see link below from POET website) that was originally from July 2013, and updated in October 2014? It discusses POET's Near and Long Term Solutions. I think we discussed the previous version, but not sure about the version updated in October.
A quote from the near term solutions "Upon completion, the initial solution addresses the OE Interface requirements for both the military and commercial markets."
A quote from the long term solutions "These metrics continue to improve with scaling of feature size from the near term values stated above towards the 40-nm node since the transmitter and receiver are directly linked to a device size rather than a circuit. Upon completion of a fully functioning optical VLSI circuit, POET would successfully address multiple high speed markets most notably the high speed processors and SoCs with embedded memory and high end optoelectronic switches."

Hoping for an interesting week coming up - good luck!!
