IMHO,
It's not combining GaAs with Si... It's combining Si with GaAs.
Our VCSEL "chips" can be applied to Si... Just like Stephane always said that we could make better connections on the back-end of Si servers.. Or GaAs Optical Switches in Telecom Optical Transmitters... Mainly helping with Fiber Optics transmitions.
"I see tremendous potential with POET Technology's innovative approach to combining Si based IC's with III-V materials based optical components on the same chip that could revolutionize the mobility, telecommunications/networking, large data management, and other technology sectors.
