POET Technologies Inc. is a Canada-based company that develops and manufactures heterogeneous integration substrates for the optoelectronics industry. Leveraging its proprietary planar optical and electrical integration (POET) platform, the company provides a wafer-scale approach to combine silicon-based photonics with active optical and electronic components. By embedding waveguides and interconnects directly into a polymer-based core layer, POET’s technology supports high-speed data transmission and miniaturized optical modules suitable for telecommunications, data centers and emerging photonic applications.
The company’s core offering, known as the iPOET™ integration platform, enables customers to assemble lasers, detectors and electronics on a single substrate without the need for costly coupling and alignment processes. POET supplies both standard wafer products and custom integration services, allowing original equipment manufacturers to build transceivers, switches and sensors with reduced power consumption and footprint. Its integration approach supports wavelengths ranging from the visible to the infrared spectrum, opening doors for applications in LiDAR, bio-sensing and industrial sensing.
Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, POET Technologies serves a global customer base across North America, Asia and Europe through direct sales and strategic partnerships. Since its incorporation in the mid-2000s, the company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities and strengthened collaborations with research institutes to advance photonic-electronic integration. Led by a management team with deep experience in photonics, semiconductor manufacturing and capital markets, POET continues to push toward commercial-scale deployment of its substrate platforms to meet the growing demand for high-performance optical interconnects.
