About Us

Leading the Future of Photonics and AI Innovation

Our Vision

Our vision for the company is to become the global leader in chip-scale photonic solutions by deploying our Optical Interposer technology to enable the seamless integration of electronics and photonics for a broad range of vertical market applications.

We are on our way to becoming the global leader in chip-scale photonic solutions, powering the next generation of artificial intelligence networks and hyperscale data centers. Partnerships with Foxconn Interconnect Technology, Luxshare Tech, and other industry leaders validate the POET Optical Interposer ™ platform technology.

Through the “semiconductorization of photonics” process that we have conceived and advanced, we have created the first-ever wafer-level integration of electronics and photonics into a single device.

The proprietary POET Optical Interposer is designed to offer multiple advantages over conventional methods of building optical engines for light-based data communication:

  • Lower cost through wafer-scale production using proven semiconductor manufacturing techniques;
  • Lower energy consumption through the close integration of components;
  • Miniaturization at the scale of a single chip, allowing better use of available space in pluggable form factors;
  • Ability to scale to high volumes — equivalent to semiconductors that are made hundreds and thousands at a time rather than one at a time;
  • Flexibility that allows for the substituting of devices or changing of form factors with minimal design changes, enabling solutions to span multiple product generations and a wide variety of applications.

The commercial breakthroughs of the POET Optical Interposer demonstrates its promise to disrupt our industry with greater performance, lower cost, and reduced power consumption. Propelling it to the status of de facto platform technology for the future of computing.

POET Today

POET is focused exclusively on optical links that will be used by AI networks for years to come.

Our highly integrated optical engines use a simplified design and daisy-chain architecture to easily expand from 400G to 1.6T and beyond. In fact, POET is rapidly developing 800G, 1.6T and 3.2T optical-engine designs for our customers.

These engines represent a new paradigm for the design and manufacturing of optical engines for transceiver modules — the key data communications link in AI clusters and hyperscale data centers.
