I guess this patent is describing ways to use POET to create kind of CCD chips.

And this will be another huge market. CCD you can find in most digital cameras, cell phones, web cams... All the added value of POET can be used there. Compared to Si-CMOS I expect low noise, high resulution and ISO sensibility. On chip data manipulation, ultrafast optical readout will be additional features then.

But I hope oogee can give us more sofisticated information here!

In any case, it is nice to see that PTK is not only investing time in uplisting and monetisation (harvesting). The ODIS lab around GT is still tilling this fertile field of new POET technology. The time is now to stake the important claims. Once POET is out in public awareness, a lot of brains of other research groups will cannonball into the POET pool.
