I sent the professor a friendly email. I explained that I was a shareholder and this development from Rice was causing some stress for us. The question was if the SLM developed at Rice could be a threat to Lightwave. Looks like the answer is no...
"I know Qianfan Xu. He does good work. The point here, though, is that this advance does not address the problem being addressed by Lightwave. This silicon photon device of the article is simply a grating with electrodes. All silicon on insulator (SoI) photonic devices that my group has fabricated at IMEC during the last four years has been grating coupled. Grating couplers are standard on all ePIXfab devices and are common on all SoI devices wherever they are fabricated. What Xu has done is to dope the grates and then add electrodes. This is an advance but is an evolutionary one technically. One problem with the structure is that the electro optic (EO) effect of silicon is really small. This is the problem being addressed by Lightwave. Various groups, including mine in Colorado, have been addressing the problem of inserting nonlinear polymer into silicon photonics. Lightwave is addressing the problem of optimizing the material to be inserted on order that the EO coefficient is large enough to really have a significant effect on the incident light.
I hope my explanation helps to alleviate any anxiety. Have a great week,
Alan"
