Gilver,

"What we don't know is if POET has been continuing in the background taking this to the next level."

So in four months POET integrated DenseLight and started a new R&D category product aimed at expanding properties of "Optical-Fibers"? Come on Gilver.. You keep grasping at straws here.. They are talking about the Fibers themselves, less so the detector itself.

We don't know what they've been working on "in the background" but we do know what they are working on at present with DenseLight:

I can also speculate with a significantly greater probability of a theory that they are not working with A*STAR on this project.

SAN JOSE, CA, (MARKETWIRED, March 22, 2016) – POET Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “POET”) (OTCQX: POETF; TSX Venture: PTK), a developer of opto-electronics fabrication processes for the semiconductor industry, today announced a research and development initiative for future generations of smart pixels and other applications in association with the Institute of Micro Electronics Engineering (IMRE), a part of the Singapore-based Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).

The 18-month project, jointly funded by POET and IMRE, is designed in part to adapt the POET platform to potential applications in smart pixel technology for the burgeoning Augmented Reality market.

Additional aspects of the initiative include enhancing POET’s GaAs process technology platform, as well as the research and development of novel Gallium Nitride (GaN) epitaxial growth technologies to potentially support integrated opto-electronic light engines for the smart lighting market."
