POET to
Demo AI Hardware Products for 800G and Beyond at OFC
2024
Toronto, ON and San Diego, CA March 21, 2024 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire —
POET
Technologies Inc. ("POET"
or the "Company")
(TSX Venture: PTK; NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of the POET
Optical Interposer™ and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the
data center, telecommunication and AI markets, today announced it
will expand on its leadership role in deploying next-generation
silicon photonics products when it features live demonstrations of
new modules and optical engines during the 2024 Optical Fiber
Communications (OFC) Conference Exhibition
to be held in San Diego, California from March 26 - 28,
2024.
The
products that POET is scheduled to demonstrate include:
•
800G Optical Engines: An
800G 2xFR4 OSFP Module with integrated POET Optical Engines will be
demonstrated to showcase the superior error free performance after
transmission over 2km of single mode fiber. The module consists of
two 400G silicon photonics transmitters and one integrated 800G
receiver, operating on four ITU-defined CWDM
wavelengths.
•
POET
Starlight™:
An
8-channel packaged light source for C-Band and O-Band wavelengths
for chip-to-chip AI applications and co-packaged optics for the
data center market.
Starlight can
be integrated on a host board and connected to chips and ASICs with
built-in silicon photonics. It is ready for scalable manufacturing
using individually mounted lasers rather than expensive laser
arrays, driving lower cost and expandability to 64 channels and
above.
•
200G/lane Optical Engines: OFC
attendees will get a first look at POET's groundbreaking 200G/lane
transmitter and receiver engines, fundamental building blocks for
enabling pluggable transceivers at 1.6T and 3.2T data
rates.
•
EML-based 100G/lane Transmit Optical Engine with integrated
driver: The
latest version of POET's
Infinity chiplet
incorporates externally modulated lasers (EMLs) and EML drivers
that offer a highly integrated transmit solution with superior
performance and at a lower cost for 400G and 800G FR4
applications.
•
Pluggable transceivers from module partners: POET
will showcase pluggable transceivers from module partners like
Luxshare-TECH, ZKTel and Fibertop from 100G to 800G speeds that
use POET's
Optical Interposer and Optical Engine technology.
"We
expect the products we showcase at OFC will vault POET to the top
of the conversation for AI networking leaders who need more speed,
lower cost, and improved power efficiency. Those are the hallmarks
of the POET Optical Interposer™ platform and why its elegant design
is poised to power the age of photonics," stated Dr. Suresh
Venkatesan, POET's Chairman & CEO.
The
2024 OFC Conference takes place at the San Diego Convention Center
from March 26-28. Visit POET at Booth #5001 to see
demonstrations.
