Gary Lerude Weekly report:
POET Technologies demonstrated an HFET fabricated with their externally fabbed, III-V optoelectronic process. They now have two of the three basic building blocks required for optoelectronic transceivers. The remaining hurdle is the VCSEL, which they hope to demonstrate within months. The company is pursuing active optical cables (AOC) for data centers, the same market Intel is targeting.
