I like this excerpt,

The overall square footage in datacenters has been growing rapidly over the past 5 years, and is expected to continue this trend over the next decade. Links that are shorter than 500 meters “and operate at approximately 10Gbps” can employ “direct modulation,” which accomplishes modulation by mechanically turning a laser on and off. However, for links greater than 500 meters “and higher data rates such as 25Gbps, 40Gbps, and beyond”, it is necessary to employ optical modulators. We intend to target optical devices that are aimed at the 500m to 10km distance segment of the market. “that operate at 25Gbps and higher data rates”. These are single mode fiber links and require polymer optical devices that operate in single optical mode. While some data center customers are planning their architectures using single mode fiber links even below 500m, others are focusing on cost-performance to make their decisions for their particular architectures. Our technology is both single mode and scalable “in both increased data rates and low cost”, which means that it can be implemented in either data center application depending on how we achieve the customer metrics and specifications. We believe that our single mode modulator solutions will not only be competitive at 500m to 10km link distances “at 25Gbps data rates and beyond”, but also at distances below 500m “at 25Gbps and beyond” depending on the customer architecture designs.
