This is the kind of update we need .......Keep it coming Robert Ferri

As previously announced, POET intends to commercialize its integrated resonant cavity detector as its first product and demonstrate this prototype by the end of 2016.

6-inch detector wafers based on the POET platform, recently fabricated at POET’s foundry supplier, demonstrated superior responsivity parameters relative to best-in-class performance. POET’s detectors differ from conventional devices in that they are resonant cavity designs, which enable greater sensitivity in detector applications.

, such a Benchmark parameterss responsivity, on POET’s detector device far exceed the performance of detectors in the market today.

At a bias voltage of 3.3V, POET detectors have demonstrated a room temperature thyristor enhanced saturated responsivity of 13A/W at an input optical power threshold of less than 200mW and at an aperture of 10mm.

This is about 20X higher on a 3X smaller device relative to typical 850nm PiN diodes.

These results from the first set of detector wafers produced at the production foundry provide critical proof points for POET to introduce a differentiated detector product to the market later this year.

The POET team continues to make significant progress in the lab-to-fab transition, achieving a key milestone in successfully validating POET’s process technology transfer to its high volume production foundry supplier.

r lots of VCMultiple 6-inch wafeSELs and transistors were also processed at the foundry. Testing and characterization of these devices is underway and POET expects to require further development cycles through additional wafer processing to fully achieve the true potential for these integrated opto-electronic devices. Announcements will be forthcoming on the performance of these devices, over the next months, as development progresses.

“We are very excited with both the device results so far and the validation of our process transfer to scalable production environment,” said Dr. Subhash Deshmukh, Chief Operating Officer of POET Technologies.

“Over the next few months we plan to make additional announcements on our key milestones and device performance as we continue our aggressive drive towards commercialization of POET’s highly differentiated technology.”
