POET products picked by Mentech
Canadian PIC firm POET Technologies has announced that Mentech Technology has selected its transmit and receive optical engines for use in the development of 800G pluggable transceiver. The sample orders by Mentech are for initial builds and engineering development.
Mentech is one of the world’s largest suppliers of data communications and telecommunications components. Among its existing products are 200G to 800G optical modules that are part of networking infrastructure for data centres.
“The small form factor and flexibility of POET’s highly integrated optical engines allow us to smoothly transition our products to higher speeds when our customers are ready for us to do so,” said Qian Yinbo, Mentech’s CTO.
“POET has worked closely with Mentech to reach this pivotal stage in our relationship, and we look forward to seeing their 800G and 1.6T modules, powered by POET optical engines, out in the marketplace,” says Mo Jinyu, POET’s senior vice-president and general manager in Asia.
Optical module design efforts usually take six to nine months followed by end customer testing of an additional three to six months. Mentech is expecting an early launch of these new products incorporating POET’s optical engines.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
