POET Technologies $PTK.ca $POETF Targets New Markets for Co-Packaged Optics and Optical Sensing Applications with LightBar-C™ Product

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:00 AM on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021
  • Extended the Optical Interposer into new applications and markets with a fully-integrated, multiplexed light-source for optical computing chipsets and sensing applications, named “ LightBar-C™”.

TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2021 — POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, announced that it has extended the Optical Interposer into new applications and markets with a fully-integrated, multiplexed light-source for optical computing chipsets and sensing applications, named “ LightBar-C™”.

The POET Optical Interposer platform has been extended and validated with the intrinsic features to support Conventional Band (“C-band”) and Long Band (“L-band”) lasers that produce light in a frequency range of 1530nm to 1625nm. POET has designed, developed and demonstrated cooled lasers for the Optical Interposer platform with up to 90mW of power operating at room temperature. In addition, the Company has designed and demonstrated a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer (“DWDM”) embedded in the Optical Interposer waveguide layer that allows channel spacings of 200GHz, providing the high density and broadband requirements needed for high-performance optical sensing and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) applications, such as optical computing chipsets for Artificial Intelligence.

The Company’s first product to incorporate all of these features is the POET LightBar-C, which includes integrated spot-size converters that minimize coupling losses and increase power efficiency of components, such as multiplexers and detectors. The product provides low-loss fiber and free-space coupling, all specifically developed for highly integrated solutions within the C-band frequencies. The LightBar-C also utilizes a versatile and integrated laser source with multiple wavelengths (from 2 up to 8) multiplexed in the C-Band.

The optical bandwidth in the C-band is in the “eye-safe” region, which makes it ideal for free-space sensing applications. Consequently, C-band light solutions are expected to be foundational to the next generation of LiDAR solutions where high sensitivity, high power, reduced atmospheric influence and eye safety are presumed to be essential requirements.

VIDEO – Universal PropTech $UPI Secures Investment and Rights To Finger Scan Test Designed To Detect COVID-19 In Less Than A Minute $AAT.ca $LPS.ca $EGT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:04 PM on Thursday, February 18th, 2021

As the name implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for “property technology.”  As simple as that is, the implementation and importance of PropTech is anything but, which is why many companies are trying to capitalize on the rapidly growing paradigm shift, while Universal PropTech (UPI:TSXV) is actually delivering healthy building solutions developers, owners and operators across Canada. 

More than just lip service, UPI clients include:

· Federal Government facilities for over 40 years 

· Manulife 

· Brookfield 

· Billy Bishop Airport 

· University of Toronto 

· …. and many more 

As a result, UPI has generated $35,000,000+ in revenue over the past 3 year – a number most small cap companies would be very happy with.  But newly appointed Chief Growth Officer, Frank Carnevale sees a much bigger opportunity by winning exclusive licenses and partnerships with providers of great products that can significantly grow company revenues … and he has delivered pretty strongly against this mission statement in 2021. 

BUT TODAY HE TOOK A GIANT LEAP FORWARD 

The press release headline says it all:

Universal PropTech Inc. Invests in and Secures defined Agency Rights for ISBRG Corp.’s SpotLight-19(C) Technology Designed to Detect Covid-19 Non-Invasively in Under One Minute  

In short, this technology takes a non-invasive scan of a person’s finger with a harmless beam of light designed to provide confirmation of Covid-19 infection in less than 1 minute.  

How significant is this announcement and what does it mean to the Company’s growth? 

Watch our interview with CGO Carnevale to learn all about it.

Upon completion of trials and relevant governmental approvals, Universal PropTech expects that it will aggressively market SpotLight-19© products and supporting services to all governmental and education providers across Canada.”

“Our technology stems from the belief that technological innovation and strategic partnerships will restore economic growth globally in the midst of a pandemic that is challenging the speed, accuracy and effectiveness of existing tests” stated Duncan MacIntyre, Founder and CEO ISBRG.
