it seems like our EOMs can double as EAMs too

Funny, I was wondering the same thing and asked LWLG/MZ Group. They responded that as a matter of policy they do not comment on other companies' technology. Understandable - oh well.

This makes me chuckle too and perhaps someone should update the WIKI for EO modulators, as ours can operate at sub 1 volt levels. It would seem the tables have turned regarding the statement below:

"Compared with an Electro-optic modulator (EOM), an EAM can operate with much lower voltages (a few volts instead of ten volts or more)."

Seems like the EAM performance is substantially lower in terms of power and possibly speed. Does not sound like a material advantage.

I guess I’d like to see someone, somewhere use the term ‘polymer’ in their silicon photonics product description.

Would Perkinamine replace Germanium-Silicon?
