From the recent news release.....

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET”) (OTCQX:POETF) (TSX-V:PTK), a developer of opto-electronic fabrication processes for the semiconductor industry, today announced that it will release in the second half of 2017 a low loss, low cost micro multiplexer and de-multiplexer product for 100G and above transceivers based on the technology developed at its subsidiary BB Photonics Inc.

The Company has been developing dielectric arrayed waveguide grating devices based on its low stress dielectric technology that incorporates increased wavelength and routing functionality. The devices include mode size converters within the dielectric to modify the coupling requirements to single mode fiber while also reducing packaging costs.  The dielectric technology is manufactured on large diameter silicon wafers to reduce cost and enable quick scale-up for volume manufacturing. The initial release will be a stand-alone product for the high speed transceiver market to lower the cost of discrete multiplexer and de-multiplexer components used in 100G transceivers.

Engineering samples are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2017 with production commencing in the second half of the year.

What facilities has Bill Ring been using to develop this technology and where will the product be manufactured in the second half of the year?
