POET Technologies Inc.

Fairchij: IMEC solution: The dynamic power consumption of the transceiver, including the CMOS driver and receiver, was less than 2pJ/bit.

POET near term solution power requirement .27 pj/bit transmit and .42 pj/bit receive. That is up to 7.4 times better in what is called POETs near term solution.

Thanks for the comparison, Fairchij! It shows that POET is very much ahead of the curve, at least theoretically. Looking forward to the 50 GHz VCSEL to confirm (parts of) POET's theory in practice!
