The Company said it is poised to roll out a monolithic opto-electronics process platform that enables unprecedented improvements in energy efficiency, component cost and size in the production of smart optical components, driving applications ranging from data centers to consumer products.

Performance of Light at the cost of Copper

"Advances in silicon technology enable hugely efficient computational efficiencies," said Dr. Venkatesan. "A single computation, for example, can be completed at fractions of pico-joules of energy. However, transmitting or communicating this piece of information over traditional copper interconnects can consume up to 100 times that energy. While optics can dramatically lower power consumption, we haven't seen any optical solution that has yet been cost-competitive with copper interconnects. The Poet platform, when implemented, could change that - thus creating a discontinuity in traditional learning curves. We are providing a truly disruptive technology solution."

Like was already mentionmed, we have the winning tickets...just waiting for the draw date, and we've been promised by these industry heavyweights that'll be soon.
