I am reminded that SV said words to the effect that competition emphasises that PTK is working in the right area. Whilst EFFECT claims a single monolithic photonics chip it's solution requires bonding layers. Yes this produces the intended effect (sic) but at what cost?
The POET process is a truly monolithic process with all design components created in one pass to create a chip, so to speak. The cost implications of this are the differentiating factor and the reason why POET could become the industry standard, when they finally unleash this potential on the photonic industry desparately awaiting such innovation.
One imagines the myriad of potential POET applications that could be created. Its like looking at the stars at night in awe of where the universe ends. It gives me a cold shudder to think that this potential was visible when I was first drawn to this technology hidden away in a solar company then called OPEL.
It is the excitement of seeing that technology being developed to the advanced stage of commercialistion, that its now at, that keeps me long regardless of PO, low SP, warts and all. The hirings and the noise at DL prove to me that we are on the cusp of the big reveal.
Those who would happily part with their investment for a pittance surely must lack imagination and the patience necessary to allow this potential to unfold.
