POET Technologies (PTK) has introduced its 400G FR4 and 800G Receive (RX) Optical Engines based on its unique hybrid silicon photonics platform.
POET’s Optical platform is a hybrid integration technology that allows high-speed communication among all devices.
The POET 400G FR4 Receive Optical Engine Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) is the industry’s only single-chip integrated version of an FR4 RX Optical Engine available. It can process over 500 devices at the same time and offers cost advantages that apply to a dual 400G FR4 Receive solution.
Ben Chen, Chief Technology Officer of Surinno Photonics,
“POET Technologies has been able to utilize its platform concept to provide easy-to-use optical engines for the data communications market with rapid deployment and demonstrations of 100G/200G TX-RX engines and also 400G FR4 engines.”
The advantages are derived from the POET Optical Interposer platform and enable the integration of “best of breed” photonic components onto a single chip without any expensive active alignment requirements.
The products demonstrate four unique features that when combined, create a “superior” solution compared to either standard free-space optics or silicon photonics-based engines.
Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO of POET,
“The product represents a true semiconductorization of photonic engines using traditional pick and place bonding equipment and passive alignment of photonics devices… we also provide the ability to rapidly scale production to meet the demands of this fast-growing market.”
The 400G and 800G Optical Engines will be manufactured and provided by Super Photonics Xiamen. It is forecasted that the market for 400G and 800G Ethernet transceiver modules will exceed $2 billion annually by 2024.
POET Technologies Inc. (PTK) is up 2.62 per cent trading at $9.80 per share as of 11:44 a.m. EST.
