Is it possible that work at IMRE was facilitated by Apple (or someone else). The work that they are doing there in GaN has not been constrained by US export licenses and Epiworks for the GaAs epi-wafers. It is interesting that there has been no public disclosure about the work taking place there? But we do know that the work has been expanded on the basis of this to put into place the POET integrated photonics center.
The Singapore operations will further the development and production of Poet's key technologies, including those developed with the joint program Poet established with the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore earlier this year.
