TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2022 (GLOBE 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 and tele-communication markets, today announced that representatives from the Company will participate at the 2022 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC), which will be held September 18-22, 2022 in Basel, Switzerland. The Company will also be exhibiting in booth 578.
ECOC is the continent's largest event in the field and one of the most prestigious events on optical communications worldwide.
Dr. Simon Goh, principal engineer, will present his paper on the passive alignment of lasers on the POET Optical Interposer in the session, “Non-Linear Devices and Packaging”, on September 22, 2022 at 10:45am CEST. Dr. Lucas Soldano, a member of POET’s technical staff, is an organizer of a symposium entitled “Hybrid Integration of III-V Devices with Silicon-based Waveguides (Si, SiN, SiO2)”, which is also scheduled on September 22, 2022 at 10:45am CEST. POET chairman and CEO, Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, will also be a participating speaker. Additionally, Dr. Michal Lipson, professor of physics at Columbia University and a nominee to POET’s board of directors, will lead a tutorial entitled “The State of the Art and Challenges of Silicon Photonics Today” on Tuesday, September 20, 2022 at 2:00pm CEST.
“Hybrid Integration is one of the critical and important topics of discussion among professionals in the photonics industry today,” said Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, chairman & CEO of POET Technologies Inc. “It is widely understood that neither conventional discrete assembly nor conventional silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are up to the challenges of scalability in volume, cost and power consumption that are required for increasing speeds and bandwidth in data and telecommunications, much less the high-volume applications for photonics in optical computing, wearables and automotive LIDAR. We recognized these challenges years ago, which is why the POET Optical Interposer is the only true hybrid, wafer-level, chip-scale platform that integrates electronic and photonic devices in a fully CMOS-compatible assembly process that meet these challenges and is available today to companies that need integration solutions.”
