    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

    No doubt that this is OPL' worst Q in 4 years , $43k WTF?!
    That was a shock to the system, but now that emotions of indignation & frustration are subsiding we have to look at the positives as well, like the 4.6MW tracker deal & the $2 Mil backlog for 2012, and the new secured orders, which will make about the same, if not more total revenue than they had in 2011. + we're getting closer to some major POET announcements. So as a long term investor I'm still confident that OPL/POET will be our cash cow in the future. Remember that TCA saw what OPL have for the months ahead, otherwise there would never been an agreement with them! That gives me reassurance that the next Q's will be much better, well they can't get much worse either, lol. Now, for the moment there is not much to be excited about if you look at the cash burn rate and thighter solar margins, but with the $5 mil LOC and and the PP for $3 mil (= 14% dilution) I'm sure that OPL will have sufficient recources to survive 2012 and create a bridge until a major military contractor signs a lucrative deal with OPL.

    - In January 2012, OPEL supplied 4.6MW of its TF-850 utility grade solar tracking systems to Global Energy
    Services for installation on two California sites being developed by Gestamp Solar, a leading developer of utility scale solar projects.

    - OPEL’s planned refocusing from HCPV to its solar tracking systems, announced last June continue as expected during the quarter. Purchase orders totaling over $2M were received creating a backlog to be deployed later this year.

    - In March 2012, ODIS announced significant progress, made during the first quarter, regarding POET as it
    pertains to its advancements in Optical Interconnection of High Speed Circuits as outlined in a White
    Paper/Roadmap posted on the ODIS website <www.odis.com>. These 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 and have made it possible to produce a well defined military and commercial Roadmap for POET.

    - New orders were secured to be delivered in later quarters as well as follow-on SBIR funding.

    OPEL Technologies Inc. Announces Changes to Its Board of Directors, Refocus on Developing the POET Technology and $3,000,000 Financing

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 11, 2012) - OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL)(OTCQX:OPELF) - Restructuring

    OPEL Technologies Inc. ("OPEL" or "the Company") would like to welcome Mark Benadiba, Peter Copetti and Sam Peralta to the board of directors.
    Mr. Benadiba currently serves on the board of directors of Cott Corp. (NYSE:COT)(TSX:BCB) and will serve as Executive Chairman of the Board of OPEL. Mr. Benadiba was involved in helping Cott Corp. shift its strategy to refocus on its core business activities in late 2008, and has experience negotiating licensing agreements. Mr. Copetti will serve as an executive board member. Mr. Copetti has extensive capital markets and managerial experience and will be focused on rationalizing costs while defining the strategic direction of the Company with regard to the Planar Optoelectronic Technology ("POET") semiconductor platform. Dr. Peralta is pleased to rejoin the board of directors; he had served on OPEL boards since January 2007; all issues leading to his February 2012 resignation have been resolved. Until May he served on the board of Axiom NDT Corporation; stepping down from there allows time to help renew OPEL's POET strategy. Dr. Peralta has broad experience in the high-technology sector; he brings a continuity of technological vision to the reformulated board.

    Lawrence Kunkel and Tristram Collins have both decided not to stand for re-election to the board of directors in order to pursue other opportunities. To allow for the new directors to join, they have both agreed to step down at this time. The Company would like to thank both Mr. Kunkel and Mr. Collins for their efforts, and wishes them both well in their future endeavors. Mr. Benadiba notes: "I would like to join Mr. Pierhal in thanking the outgoing board members for all their efforts on behalf of the Company. Mr. Copetti, Dr. Peralta and I are ready to join Mr. Pierhal and Mr. O'Donnell at the board level in an aggressive effort to drive down costs and maximize returns for all stakeholders."

    Strategic Direction
    A core component of the Company's strategy going forward is to continue to develop the POET platform. POET enables monolithic fabrication of integrated circuit gallium arsenide devices containing both electronic and optical elements on a single wafer. Dr. Geoff Taylor, the Company's Chief Scientist, and his team have developed the technology over the past 18 years. The Company has 36 patents issued and 14 patents pending in both its PV systems and for its semiconductor POET process. "I am excited to be working with the new board members to further develop the POET platform," commented Dr. Taylor. The Company continues to progress work with a third party in the validation of the technology as can be seen in the press release dated June 14, 2011. "OPEL Heralds Independent Validation of a Critical Component of the POET Semiconductor Platform by BAE Systems". opelinc.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2...

    Private Placement
    The Company also has announced a financing with IBK Capital Corp. ("IBK") whereby IBK will act as agent, on a best efforts basis, to conduct a private placement offering of up 13,043,478 Units at a price of $0.23 per unit for proceeds of up to $3,000,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. One full warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share of OPEL for a period of three years at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The private placement has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a hold period which expires four months and one day following closing. A first tranche of $507,690 has been completed with the remaining approximately $2,500,000 to be closed on or before July 30, 2012. The Company will pay a cash commission of 7% of the funds raised and 10% of the units sold in the form of broker warrants. Each broker warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share of OPEL at a price of $0.23 for 48 months after the closing date.

    Consulting Contracts
    Mr. Benadiba and Mr. Copetti have each entered into a consulting agreement wherein they will each be paid the sum of $8,400 per month for a term of one year with respect to their services as Executive Chairman and an executive director respectively, They will each be granted 2,500,000 stock options and Mr. Peralta will be granted 500,000 stock options pursuant to the Company's incentive stock option plan. The options will be exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.235 per share. The options vest 25% immediately and 25% every six months thereafter.
