2. Polariton and Silorix collaborating with Lightwave (again begging the question, why collaborate with a company whose tech can't be scaled?)

Today, as data rates increase, high-speed modulation using Mach-Zehnder on Si is becoming a bottleneck. There are numerous developments in new materials to overcome the current limitation (LNO thin films, InP, BTO, polymer, plasmons). For example, Arista has integrated thin film LNOs in modulators in an 800G transceiver prototype shown at OFC 2022.
This creates opportunities for companies focusing on materials for silicon photonics: Lumiphase and Polariton (created in Switzerland in 2019), Hyperlight and Liobate in China for thin film LNO, or Riber for BTO.
