Goosed last year Kaiam won Platform Award at 2017 PIC International Conference

We spent a bit of time going over the advantages POETs platform has over Kaiam’s active optical alignment using MEMS. There will be no real comparison in cost with POETs optical interposer and POET’s mux/demux has significant advantages and is part of the fabrication flow.
Today we have a better understanding of POETs breakthrough when compared to Kaiam’s platform.
View the video in the link below to get a sense of the steps required for Kaiam’s process. The visual I get is of Fred Flinstone’s car compared to the modern POET automobile.
