Morning Star is absolutely correct.
He is not minimizing any kick to the head as you call it. If POET had been successful at completing the development work as planned then clearly the company would have been in a very different place right now.
It remains the only monolithic optoelectronic platform in existence today. And why do you think that is?
Morning Star is absolutely correct. The market for POET’s GaAs platform will be extreme because the space is growing very, very quickly but it has to be completed and that is money, time and dedication. Something that the Indian government can provide while POET retains the commercial applications.
And just as a reminder of how good POET devices are:
Poet's detectors differ from conventional devices in that they are resonant cavity designs, which enable greater sensitivity in detector applications. Benchmark limits, such as responsivity, on Poet's detector device, far exceed the performance of detectors in the market today. At a bias voltage of 3.3 volts, Poet detectors have demonstrated a room-temperature thyristor-enhanced saturated responsivity of 13 amps/watts at an input optical power threshold of fewer than 200 milliwatts and at an aperture of 10 millimetres. This is about 20 times higher on a three-times-smaller device relative to typical 850-nanometre PiN (P-type, intrinsic and N-type) diodes.
And by the way Finisar is now going through wafer size conversion to supply the demand. Something that POET has already done.
