Novel dielectric waveguides allow integration of electronic and photonic devices into a single multi-chip module using true wafer-level semiconductor manufacturing techniques. An Optical Engine with built-in CWDM filters is fabricated, tested, burned-in, capped, sealed and singulated at wafer-level with true CMOS compatibility at every step.

Low cost CWDM becomes the  hook.

POET is the only company known to build CMOS compatible fully integrated CWDM filtering. The low cost associated with expanding data 4 to 8 times across the same fiber will change the economics for the data center. It lowers the price point where companies can increase data without the high cost of increasing the fiber plant.
