POET Technologies Announces Sample Availability of 100G LR4 Optical Engines and Testing with Three Lead Customers
26 Julio 2023 - 6:00AM
POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PTK;
NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of the POET Optical
Interposer™ and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data
center, telecommunication and artificial intelligence markets,
today announced sample readiness of 100G LR4 Transmit and 100G LR4
Receive optical engines that are part of “POET Legacy™” product
family. Three lead customers have received samples and started
product evaluation and two others have requested samples.
The POET 100G LR4 Transmit and Receive optical
engines are designed using POET’s Optical Interposer technology and
known good optical components, including high-speed DML lasers and
photodiodes. The engines meet the IEEE 100GBASE-LR4 standard for
transmission up to 10km and are suitable for use in QSFP28, CFP,
CFP2 and other high density form factors. 100G LR4 transceivers are
a mainstay of the telecom industry, providing key links from data
centers to trunk lines.
“We have seen a strong interest in our 100G LR4
optical engines from a good mix of Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers that
intend to cost reduce their transceivers to continue supporting the
market for the next several years,” said Raju Kankipati, SVP &
GM of POET North America. “Our chip-on-board architecture and
passive alignment process simplifies the module design to achieve a
substantial cost reduction. 100G LR4 has a strong deployment base
in both telecom and datacom networks, and we look forward to
supplying our engines to our transceiver customers for the entire
LR4 lifecycle.”
The chip-on-board, non-hermetic architecture of
POET’s optical engines eliminates the costly TOSA (Transmit Optical
Subassembly) and ROSA (Receive Optical Subassembly) that are
prevalent in most 100G LR4 transceivers today. The engines are
assembled using standard pick and place attach process without any
need for micro-optic lenses and isolators. No active alignment
enables wafer-scale assembly and testing of the engines.
The small size 100G LR4 Transmit optical engine
is about 9mm by 4mm and incorporates four DML lasers operating at
the LAN-WDM wavelengths as defined by the IEEE 802.3ba standards.
The Optical Multiplexer, monitor photodiodes and an FAU (Fiber
Array Unit) are included on the engine. The Receive optical engine
is 7.5mm by 4.5mm and includes high-speed photodiodes, a
demultiplexer and FAU.
POET expects to complete the qualification of
100G LR4 Transmit and Receive optical engines and start volume
production at its joint venture partner, Super Photonics, by Q1
2024. The ethernet transceiver market for 100G LR4 is projected by
LightCounting to sustain a steady run rate with estimated
cumulative sales of $1.6 billion over the 2024-2028 period.
