POET demos optical engines for AI at CIOE 2024
In booth 11B59 at the 2024 China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) in the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center (11–13 September), POET Technologies Inc of Toronto, Ontario, Canada — designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and light sources for the data-center, telecom and artificial intelligence (AI) markets — is showcasing live demonstrations of the following optical products designed for the rapidly accelerating AI systems and hyperscale data-center markets:
- 800G 2xFR4 OSFP module reference design with POET’s newly released 400G transmit engine and fully qualified 800G receive engine; and
- 200G/lane transmit and receive optical engines for use in 800G and 1.6T optical modules.
Chairman & CEO Dr Suresh Venkatesan and senior VP & general manager for Asia Dr Mo Jinyu lead a team of engineers and executives representing POET at the exhibition.
“CIOE is an essential conference for POET. In previous years, our attendance has led to some of our most important customer relationships, and we expect this year’s event will open more doors for the company,” says Venkatesan. “Customers appreciate the versatility of the Optical Interposer platform, the ease of engineering POET’s optical engines into modules and the resulting cost and performance advantages. There is also a growing recognition that POET’s approach to chip-scale integration may be indispensable to meeting the speed and bandwidth requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the AI server and hyperscale data-center markets.”
At CIOE, POET is sharing booth 11B59 with Super Photonics (SPX), its joint venture based in Xiamen, China. SPX is showcasing production-ready optical engines that are expected to be in the marketplace before the end of 2024.
