One key point that Andrew Rickman (Rockley CEO) makes during the Bernstein CGM Disruptors Conference 11/19/2021 is that the challenge has been to miniaturize the technology re: medical wearables.
My comment: One of POET’s strengths is the small footprint of their devices. As Suresh has stated this ability to fit more devices in a given space allows for new innovations and products which have never before been available. Again it is all about the waveguide and the simplicity of the design when compared to the limitations associated with deep etching required to reach the cladding layer of the SIO wafer(Silicon on Insulator) The waveguides are deeply buried. POET of course uses the optical interposer to produce multilevel waveguides in a dielectric stack that is deposited on the surface of the low cost bulk silicon wafer. An architecture that allows for an ease of design that can’t be matched in typical silicon photonics applications.
$400 million in funding and 7 years of development.
If we look at Rockley’s roadmap we can see that they are at the pre-alpha stage. And are working towards products in the market in 2023. Next year is primarily NRE income (they are forecasting $63 million in NRE funding in 2022) first product revenue from unregulated devices expected in 2023. Regulated medical devices integrated into consumer products that produce actionable information such as glucose monitoring requires FDA approvals and non regulated device claims of accuracy is also under FDA scrutiny.
Andrew: we are on the road to the final version for scale up production which occurs in Q4 of next year. So you'll see the product increasing kind of in presence, in the marketplace. We are basically gearing up to manufacture for our customers in the consumer area to bring their products to market in 2023. It's really two parallel paths here. With a consumer oriented device that would not be kind of FDA approved for glucose readings and then a medical device that might ultimately get there.
So let's dig a little deeper.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Patent:
ACTIVE REGION-LESS POLYMER MODULATOR INTEGRATED ON A COMMON PIC PLATFORM
Abstract
A monolithic PIC including a monolithic laser formed in/on a platform and a polymer modulator monolithically built onto the platform and optically coupled to the laser. The modulator includes a first cladding layer, a passive core region with a surface abutting a surface of the first cladding layer, the core region extending to define an input and an output for the modulator. A shaped electro-optic polymer active component has a surface abutting a surface of a central portion of the core region. The active component is polled to align dipoles and promote modulation of light and has a length that extends only within a modulation area defined by modulation electrodes. A second cladding layer encloses the active component and is designed to produce adiabatic transition of light waves traveling in the core region into the active component to travel the length thereof and return to the core region.
Some key claims:
- The monolithic photonic integrated circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein the electro-optic polymer active component has an EO coefficient (r.sub.33) greater than 250 pm/v, a Tg 150.degree. C. to >200.degree. C. and a resistivity approximately 10.sup.8 Ohm-cm, and the first and second cladding layers have a Tg approximately the same as the Tg of the electro-optic polymer active component, and a resistivity, at room temperature, greater than approximately 10.sup.8 Ohm-cm, and a resistivity much less than the resistivity of the electro-optic polymer active component at poling temperature, and the first and second cladding layers have levels of conductivity equal to or higher than the electro-optic polymer active component.

- The monolithic photonic integrated circuit as claimed in claim 13 wherein the polymer modulator is a **direct drive polymer modulator with a drive voltage of approximate
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
And boy are my arms legs.
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
And then shook his arm really fast.
(True story, please groan with me.)
What did 0 say to 8 ?
