POET Technologies to Showcase New Products at Optical Fiber Communications Conference
POET Technologies plans to perform live demonstrations of its two external light source products at the annual Optical Fiber Communications Conference, which will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from March 16-19. The company said, "The products to be demonstrated include: POET Blazar: A ground-breaking ELS solution, Blazar is a highly integrated hybrid laser that exemplifies the Company's "semiconductorization of photonics" mission. Designed to power both co-packaged optics and high-bandwidth, chip-to-chip, light-based data communications links, Blazar has rapidly advanced since it was first showcased in private meetings at last year's OFC Conference. POET's high-power, multi-channel light source is proving to be a viable alternative to traditional DFB laser-based solutions. Wafer-level chip-scale technology significantly lowers the cost of the light source, provides larger scale and better reliability, and increases the effective supply of Indium Phosphide. POET plans to demonstrate the high output power and multi-wavelength capabilities of Blazar...POET Starlgiht: The next generation of POET's first ELS solution will be revealed alongside Blazar. The POET Starlight demo will feature a compact engine solution with eight-channel high power lasers at multiple wavelengths. Starlight will be integrated into a working optical engine to show the commercial applicability of the solution to the industry standard ELSFP module."
