SP your post makes perfect sense. It is impressive how POET is able to adapt to changing conditions. This demonstrates the flexibility of the POET platform to use the best available components to achieve a level of reliability and efficiency that would otherwise cause huge delays and be very costly in other platforms. So products using the new YST lasers are already in the pipeline. Think about the confidence level this provides customers to commit with the knowledge that they will never be painted into a corner.  Upgrades to the next gen become more of a routine as suppliers continue to improve their products instead of a total rework that would be required in a monolithic system.

POET’s photonics-based innovations will continue to expand in applications at a faster rate than conventional technologies, including silicon photonics. Why? Because it is an integration technology. POET takes the best performing devices available that provide the functionality needed and connects them without compromise. Material sets associated with these devices are optimized for peak performance and longevity independently before they are integrated onto a single chip by POET.
