Cost reduction, especially at first, will be a tall order for any new technology. Power reduction is only a true enabler if it's not feasible to fit within the power envelope with existing technologies



The cost reduction is a consideration for sure but by achieving sub V < 1 you eliminate the cost of a driver. Further if you can make it very tiny you can place more modulators in the same space and thereby achieving a higher density of functionality allowing for other chips for intelligence and encryption i.e. a higher order of pluggable transceivers. What cost / savings are implicated here when this is all put together?

And how about speed? Modulators achieving > 100 GHtz and testing the limits of measurement at the time. (2021). Taken together…. Speed, size and sub voltage <1 bring inherent cost savings that are going to mitigate initial costs of the new modulators coming out.

May we suggest time be taken to review the results from the (ALT) accelerated life testing performed on modulators with The EOP on board which can be found in Lightwave’s report released in these matters last fall.

After doing this we can then exchange ideas on what has already been achieved with tiny modulators made from exotic materials and which also have a Perkinamine (Polymer) spun on and sealed in a patented ALD process. With > 9000 hours of testing the results speak for themselves. Dependable, reliable, stable. I will say no more since it is in Lightwave’s presentation. They have got the industry’s attention and that is why trials are on going with prospective customers.
