To me, there are just too many potential dots with Poet / Finisar / Apple - it is hard not to be very curious of the Finisar/Apple future market orders.
Juthika Basak - was in charge of Poet Product Development until November 2016, then moves on to Finisar.
Experience
o Leading development of overall RF/High Speed capabilities for Photonic Integrated Circuits, including design of devices, test infrastructure and modeling for system co-design.
o Designing various InP based components required for the integrated transmitter (laser, modulator and passives), defining and engineering the process flow followed by extensive data analysis using JMP and SQL, geared towards next generation of product.
• Project lead for High speed Silicon Optical Modulator
------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Owner of modulator design and performance for Intel’s target silicon photonics transceiver product.
o Extensive use of optoelectronic device (Sentaurus, Fimmwave) and RF design (HFSS, ADS) simulations.
o Close interaction with circuit and package designers to optimize device and system for best performance.
o Regular communication with collaborators processing our devices: deciding design rules and margins, conducting materials analysis to define process conditions and process debug. Completed design and layout of the different mask layers for multiple testchips.
o Presented work in multiple conferences over the past years.
• Transceiver Characterization for Integrated 100 Gbps silicon photonics link
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Owned power-on characterization and drove performance debug of the first fully integrated silicon photonics Transmitter (Tx) chip as well as the complete transceiver module with co-packaged driver and optical assembly.
o Part of core team demonstrating 4 x 12.5Gbps link in 2010, followed by 100 Gbps link more recently.
o Extensively involved in the research to product transition phase: Defined and implemented the Engineering Validation Tests (EVT) for high speed optical transmitters, culminating in identification and delivery of first Engineering samples of 100Gbps silicon photonics transceivers.
• Managing and mentoring graduate student interns and post-doctoral scholars
• Delivered Short Course titled “Towards Tb/s: Integrated Optical Devices and Systems” at the IEEE SOI conference, 2011.
