    ODIS Inc. Progresses Toward a POET Technology Roadmap

    08:30 EST Wednesday, Mar 28, 2012

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 28, 2012)

    OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL) and ODIS Inc. (collectively "OPEL" or "the Company"), a semiconductor device and process developer and, a leading global supplier of solar tracker systems and other solar related products, are pleased to announce significant progress made this quarter by ODIS Inc., a U.S. Company, regarding POET as it pertains to its advancements in Optical Interconnection of High Speed Circuits. ODIS' recent Milestone achievements when successfully added to the POET platform under development, will make it possible for the first time to implement an optical interface as a single chip to connect existing CMOS processors.

    The advancements are significant and ongoing steps in the POET technology development that have made it possible to produce a well defined military and commercial roadmap for POET.

    ODIS's optical interface chip will integrate a Laser, Optical Modulator, Modulator Driver, Detector, Receiver Amplifiers, SerDes, CDR and PLL circuits monolithically on a single chip. This breakthrough advancement utilizing III-V Gallium Arsenide technology is the first step in achieving a single device capable of interconnecting multiple processors by waveguide and/or fiber to transport ultra-high speed signals. This advancement substantially simplifies chip packaging while the optical interface chip bandwidth supports the very large data rates (>100Gb/s) for CMOS processor interconnect without the additional power otherwise required with conventional electrical i/o (input/output). The new roadmap will outline the process for speed-to-market devices, capital requirements and monetization opportunities in the commercial and defense technology markets.

    The optical advancements that OPEL announces directly impact the generic optical interconnect application thus serving several of the markets that were researched in the Pellegrino & Associates valuation report dated March 2, 2011. More specifically, the valuation report provided an appraisal of POET intellectual property in the general computer market, the defense contractor market and the smartphone market. The Company will post a more in-depth summary of these recent POET accomplishments, market analysis and direction, on the OPEL Technologies and the ODIS Inc. websites.

    Dank u Doniss, het was even wachten op goed nieuws maar ik was vol vertrouwen dat het goed zou komen. Dit is nog maar het begin voor OPL en ik ben blij met de market respons tot dusver, maar er zit echt meer aan te komen. Voor de korte termijn verwacht ik de publicatie van de 'road map for POET', da's een meer gedetailleerde weergave van wat we kunnen verwachten en wat de mogelijkheden zijn voor deze nieuwe, en grondbrekende technologie. Het zou me zelfs niet verbazen als we morgen al iets vernemen daarvan (niets is zeker), maar aangezien ze het eind van dit kwartaal voor ogen hadden voor de bekendmaking van de zopas uitgegeven 'milestone achievements', lijkt het me aannemelijk dat ze morgen nieuws vrijgeven... maar pin me er niet op vast... Half april ongeveer kunnen we de Q4 resultaten inzien en die zullen naar alle waarschijnlijkheid hogere inkomsten noteren en lagere kosten, wat op zich een nieuwe boost zal geven voor OPL.

    The following SBIR is a phase 2 with the Navy for $750k . It started mid April 2010 and the end date is June 16, 2012.
    The Abstract of this SBIR “Optoelectronic directional couplers for optical switching fabrics”

    Abstract:
    Optical switching fabrics describe arrays of interconnected optical switches that enable input signals to be directed to output ports with optimal flexibility. Such arrays avoid the use of OE conversions and circuit-switched connections by allowing the optical data stream to pass through the fabric in its original form. As such, the fabric requires very dense, low loss switches with high speed reconfigurability. Such arrays can be realized with an MEMS mirror arrays, electro-optic (EO) (8x8 LiNbO3 demonstrated) , interferometric, digital optical, liquid crystal, bubble, acoustooptic and semiconductor amplifier switches. However currently all routing is done with circuit switching. The issues are insertion loss, crosstalk, extinction ratio, polarization dependence and scalability. For high speed operation the EO switch must be used and for integration only the semiconductor approach is viable. ODIS proposes a semiconductor directional coupler that can be scaled to lengths <500um and that may be integrated with other optical and electronic circuits fabricated in POET a new platform technology for OE integrated circuits. In this SBIR, ODIS will develop the directional coupler as the key switching device within the fabric and demonstrate the potential for sub-ns switching, low insertion loss, high density and connectivity to a router processor.
    Benefits:
    High speed all-optical switching fabrics are critical for next generation optical routers and would be purchased by major telecommunication networking companies such as Ciena, Juniper, Cisco, Netgear etc. The optoelectronic chip developed here will outperform other optical fabrics by an order of magnitude at a substantially reduced cost. Therefore market penetration is assured. This technology platform will also solves other problems related to optical routers such as wavelength conversion, optical DRAM and high speed logic interconnections. This approach to switching fabrics will establish a new direction in the industry.
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
    Phase II Interim
    Summation
    All-Optical-Switching for nearly 30 years has been identified as a necessary capability for the routing of high speed optical data. Yet little progress has been made towards a commercial implementation and even now recent comparisons of optical and electronic packet switching in terms of scalability and energy consumption conclude that optical packet switches do not appear to offer significant improvements or energy savings compared to electronic ones. This position states that the key impediment to scaling optical switch fabrics is the energy consumed in the electronic circuits that drive the individual optical devices in the fabric and the energy consumed by the network of control lines that feed these drivers. The optical device technologies previously considered are the AWG based switches, SOA arrays, electro-optic phased-array switches and micro-resonator switches.

    In this effort, we develop POET as an alternative optical switch approach that solves these problems. POET also uses micro-resonator based switches but electronic drivers are not required because the switch is a thyristor with unique properties. First the switch has a built-in calibration mechanism so that a driver circuit is not required to adjust and maintain the resonant frequency. Second, the thyristor has the latching (memory) property so that drive signals are not required to maintain each individual element. Third when the fabric is designed as a memory array the packets may be passed in a power down mode in which the array power is minimal. Finally, the POET approach allows a merging of the optical and electronic planes of the router and thus eliminates many of the EO and OE converters required for packet header recognition and replacement. When these converters are required, they are simple single stage circuits consuming minimal power.

    ODIS has made significant progress in designing the appropriate resonator geometry for operation in the 1µm region, which includes the appropriate waveguide interconnect structure, the electrode structure for control of the memory and the internal cell resistor. Dynamic simulations have shown the fabric to be capable of passing 40Gb/s digital data as well as 40GHz RF. ODIS has also determined how to use the optical bit pattern in the header of the packet to perform the writing operation which simplifies the instructions required from the electronic plane. The basic cell consists of 2 optically coupled thyristor resonators coupling to input and output waveguides using minimum sized devices of 5µm on a side. Thyristor switching places the devices into the through or cross state which realizes the basic 2 x 2 functionality. WDM operation is easily accommodated by providing parallel paths at each element designed for another wavelength. Experimentally, ODIS has designed the photomasks to demonstrate the basic cell operation as well as the compatibility with the basic transistor operations inherent to the POET epitaxy. Much of the process development for this part of the work (to optimize the process producing both thyristors and transistors) has been performed to enable technology transition to BAE systems. The transition is on track with 1st reported nFET bandwidths of 38.6GHz.
    Anticipated Benefits
    The commercial market opportunity for optical switching fabrics could be significant if the POET optical switch becomes a serious contender for the electronic switching approach. This is expected to happen around 40GB/s data stream rates since the POET cHFET VLSI capability will dramatically outperform CMOS when the feature size gets to 0.1µm. However optical fabrics are only one aspect of one vertical market. There are numerous other vertical markets which POET will dominate and these include the wireless and handheld markets, semiconductor memory market, the server market and the general microprocessor markets to name a few. POET, with OE capability will then become a mainstream technology for all markets for data rates above 40GB/s

    General Key Valuation Assumptions from the Pellegrino Report:
    The following are key assumptions that are common to all of our valuation models:
    • It will take between 6 and 18 months for POET to pass through technical readiness level
    (“TRL”), making POET then desirable for licensing transactions.
    • All revenue models rely on technology licensing fees; thus, there is no cost of goods sold
    • The holding period used for the discount rate determination would reflect an investment
    of 22 years (i.e., ODIS is a strategic acquisition, not a financial acquisition).
    • The nominal remaining economic life for the technology is 22 years.
    • ODIS will incur a 40% nominal income tax rate.
    • ODIS will incur a 5% royalty payment to UCONN for the technology licensing.
    • ODIS will enjoy an average of 20 remaining years for statutory protection for POET patent portfolio.
    • A per-unit royalty would constitute 8.17% of the total value basis for the product.
    • Once deployed, it will take 48 months for penetration of the market to the nominal ending
    market share.
    Defense Market Key Valuation Assumptions
    The following are key assumptions that we integrated into the valuation model for the defense
    market:
    • ODIS will continue to receive annual revenues from Small Business Innovation Research
    (SBIR) grants and other awards, in accordance with a projected schedule provided by
    ODIS representatives
    • ODIS will likely license POET to one or all of the top ten defense contractors.
    • A time gap that ranges between 2 and 18 months exists that captures when each defense
    contractor considers executing a license.
    • The defense contractors would pay an initial, nonexclusive license fee that may range
    between $20 million and $50 million
    • Defense contractors would make monthly royalty payments thereafter of $250,000 to
    account for any product-specific royalties.
    Commercial Market Key Valuation Assumptions
    The following are key assumptions that we integrated into the valuation model for the
    commercial market:
    • The first market application for POET in the commercial market would be for generalpurpose
    microprocessors for server computers.
    • The second market application for POET in the commercial market would be for generalpurpose
    microprocessors for desktop computers.
    • The third market application for POET in the commercial market would be for generalpurpose
    microprocessors for laptop computers.
    • ODIS will likely license POET to one or all of the top general computer microprocessor
    manufacturers on an exclusive basis.
    • In each target market, POET platform would nominally allow a manufacturer to capture
    its current nominal market share deploying it.
    • The server processor market would start at 6,939,877 annual units, growing at 0% per
    year.
    • Server processors would enter the market 48 months from the effective date of the
    valuation.
    • Server processors average $828.89 per unit, which would serve as a basis for a negotiated
    royalty payment.
    • Each server would require two processors.
    • The desktop processor market would start at 128,200,000 annual units, growing at 1.13%
    per year.
    • Desktop processors would enter the market 48 months from the effective date of the
    valuation.
    • Desktop processors average $93.22 per unit, which would serve as a basis for a
    negotiated royalty payment.
    • Each desktop would require one processor.
    • The laptop processor market would start at 231,900,000 annual units, growing at 12.43%
    per year.
    • Laptop processors would enter the market 48 months from the effective date of the
    valuation.
    • Laptop processors average $93.22 per unit, which would serve as a basis for a negotiated
    royalty payment.
    • Each laptop would require one processor.

    The official SBIR website finally acknowledges the NASA SBIR binging the total up to 7 PI's abd 2 PII's.
    www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/254696
    Of course, this is still not really up to date since the PII NASA contract is still unofficial but being negotiated.
    So that will be a total of 3 active PII SBIRs - lots of work considering that they have to produce a device rather than a simple proof of concept as in a PI.

    Looking closely at the PII SBIRs you can draw lines to the devices we have heard about:

    AF 08-207 - Monolithic InfraRed pixel structures enabled by Thyristor-HFET EO logic
    ---- Device: uncooled IR detector; Developer: BAE

    AF 08-209 - Optoelectronic directional couplers for optical switching fabrics
    ---- Device: Optical Interface; Developer: ? (BAE?, ODIS?)

    O1.01-9727 - Optoelectronic Infrastructure for RF/Optical Phased Arrays
    ----- Device: TBA; Developer: ? (BAE?, ODIS? NASA GRC?)
