POET Technologies Inc. ("POET" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:POET), a leader in the design and implementation of highly-integrated optical engines and light sources for artificial intelligence networks, today announced a strategic collaboration with LITEON Technology, one of the world's leading providers of optoelectronic semiconductor components and high-power optical systems. The partnership aims to co-develop next-generation optical communication modules built on POET's patented optical interposer technology and integration platform.

The jointly developed optical engine will leverage the POET Optical Interposer™ to integrate several optical components, drive electronics, and coupling structures into a compact, thermally optimized module. This approach enables scalable, cost-efficient production of advanced optical modules for next-generation co-packaged optics, AI systems, and high-bandwidth data center applications.
