Poet ships latest optical engine samples
Optolelectronic company POET Technologies has announced that it has fulfilled orders from three global customers for samples of its advanced optical transmit engines.
The design samples are for its POET Infinity transmit product line for 400G and 800G applications and include the 400G FR4, 800G 2xFR4 and 800G DR8 transmit formats, all assembled at the company's high volume production facility in Malaysia.
The FR4 optical engines incorporate the multiplexer and can be paired with POET receiver engines for a highly integrated pluggable transceiver. POET’s customers have designed and are building pluggable transceivers using a two-chip solution, i.e., one transmit chip and one receive chip for 400G and three-chip solution for 800G. The receive optical engines have already been qualified and the availability of the transmit engine samples will allow the shipment of completed modules to end customers for qualification, with production orders expected in the second half of 2025.
“Each of our customers has expressed intense enthusiasm for the results they have seen from POET’s integrated, chip-level solutions,” said Raju Kankipati, chief revenue officer of POET. “The sampling of the transmit engines is the final piece that allows our customers to complete their modules and get them qualified. We are increasingly a vendor of record for these enterprises and that is how we know we are on the right track for wider adoption and greater commercial success,” said Kankipati.
POET has previously worked with each customer on integrating the transmit and receive optical engines into their final module products.
Suresh Venkatesan, POET’s chairman & CEO added: “POET’s advantages of cost, reliability and power efficiency have gained the trust of industry leaders who look to our optical interposer-based product portfolio for solutions that can power AI development and improve optical networking.”
