excerpt>
In summary, we have demonstrated Kerr comb generation followed by spectral and temporal manipulation of the comb signal, all achieved on the same LN chip. Our platform could lead to a new generation of photonic circuits based on the monolithic integration of frequency comb generators with both passive and active photonic components. Leveraging the giant effective ?(3) nonlinearity in a quasi-phase-matched ?(2) waveguide, frequency comb generation with much lower threshold power could potentially be achieved.41 Directly embedding electro-optic modulation in the comb generator could lead to active mode locking of a Kerr frequency comb. Further integrating the frequency comb source with multiplexer/demultiplexer and ultrafast electro-optic modulators on the same chip could provide compact and low-cost dense-wavelength-division multiplexing solutions for future ultra-broadband optical fibre communication networks9. The fast and independent control of the amplitude and phase of each comb line are promising for chip-scale LiDAR systems10,11, programmable pulse shaping5 and quantum information processing12

Ok, so new development company "hyperlight" has a website, but they do not appear to have anything of substance to-date except for a few research papers showing there is some potential to their new nano version of LN modulators, there currently appear to be no scientists or engineers working on the development project, but at least we know that they are currently searching to hire a " device lead"

"The electrical and optical properties of lithium niobate make it the best material for modulator. But it is very difficult to fabricate in nanoscale, which limits the reduction of modulator size," Dr. Wang explains

GP, please report back to us from TIME-to-TIME as this story unfolds, I'm sure in a few years these guys will have a lab complete with scientists and engineers, and then they will start producing some prototypes, and that will be very exciting TIME indeed, so be sure to keep us up to date!
