From NLM Photonics: "Last fall marked the announcement of our ground-breaking collaboration with Polariton Technologies, leading to their ultra-fast commercial plasmonic-organic hybrid electro-optic modulators.

This high-speed modulator is available exclusively through Polariton Technologies and features our proprietary electro-optic materials. This high-speed modulator converts data from electrical (e.g., RF) signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber-optic cables. It operates at blazing speeds up to 110 GHz without losing performance at higher frequencies — and with much smaller footprints than competing solutions."

Lightwave and NLM are in direct competition, yet the evidence suggests Polariton will work with them both.

Also of note. NLM is aiming for commercial viability next year. "Currently in development with our partner SilOriX, this high-speed silicon-organic hybrid modulator converts data from electric into optical signals to be transmitted over fiber-optic cables at lower voltages than competing solutions. These EO modulators focus on power efficiency, with the potential for direct drive from CMOS, which would save further power, complexity, and cost. NLM and SilOriX are targeting 2023 for initial commercial availability."
