The POET - BAE relationship extends back to 2008 and ended in 2015.
In my opinion, 3 months at Wavetech have produced far better results than 8 years at BAE.
This is a positive message in that POET is finally on track and accelerating at Wavetek, but I suspect that someday management at BAE will come to the realization that they had first mover advantage with POET's incredibly disruptive technology and let it walk out the door.
BAE Systems entered into a contract with ODIS in 2008, with the intent of replicating specific
POET devices in a third-party environment at BAE Systems Reed Microelectronics Center.
Over this period, with indirect overview by ODIS staff, BAE Systems engineers methodically
tested and confirmed critical electrical elements of POET sub-process steps for the transistors.
In the near future, it is intended that these electrical structures will be integrated with the
required optical structures.
“We are thrilled that a company with the technical stature of BAE Systems has validated key
elements of the outstanding work done by Dr. Taylor and his team,” noted Leon M. Pierhal, CEO
of OPEL. “With this first independently-manufactured transistor, we have achieved a milestone
to the industry’s long-held vision of monolithically fusing photonics and electronics.”
