Another sensing application, or why 10 micrometer matters:
Our resonant cavity detector is not limited to LASER light!
Imagine BAE plans to build a camera using such detectors. You would need an arrey of these cavities creating an "IR-CMOS chip" like in your photo camera. Can be done...
With our crazy performance metrics you would end up with 9 times higher resolution (alternatively 1/3rd the size of your new HD IR chip) and 20 fold higher photosensitivity. With lowest energy consumption! At room temperature! I guess this is like having day time view in the middle of a night with lunar eclipse.
So you can be sure - a company like BAE will love POET!
