BTW, here are the prices for a couple different Modulator Drivers from ThorLabs, a notable photonics equipment manufacturer.

Benchtop High-Speed LiNbO3 Electro-Optic Modulator Drivers

Note the data rates these drivers support....yeah, that's right, almost $17K for a modulator driver that supports 40GBits/sec max...each. And every modulator requires an independent Driver. I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there in a non-benchtop version, but do they support 100GBits/sec?

I don't know the answer to that question.

Now you might be getting a feeling why Direct-Drive Photonic Modulators are a BIG deal.
