Ring rock, yes his participation was acknowledged. But again this panel wasn’t an Ayar, Poet or Lightwave discussion. It was an industry discussion on the need for cooperation and standardisation. You may know that the European Chips Act has allocated € 42 Billion to the industry to achieve a 20% global market share in chips. EPIC wants it’s fair share for its members in the photonics industry since EPIC sees the enormous potential for photonics. With it’s 800 SME’s in photonics and only CMOS or small scale European photonics pilot foundry capacity available, the industry discussion was very relevant. BTW a similar discussion is apparently going on in the USA as part of the US Chips Act , currently stalled in Congress.
As indicated by other messengers here, Ayer is not targeting the transceiver market for data and telecom, but its optical I/O solutions make the processor and memory chips talk to each other inside the server. It will speed up the AI and High Power Compute .

here you must have missed it!! Intel/Ayers, uses silicon MRR technology which won't cut it, silicon tops out in the 30-40GHz speed zone hence why they are using 25Gb MRR's and stacking tons of then together, this is a very complex solution and extremely hard to control OVER TIME which means RT is likely to have high failure rates

Ayars works with Intel, to-date their focus is on the silicon MRR, but we have known since the Intel Lab days (Dec 2020) that there are some BIG problems with these modulators

1) they need temperature control I/C's for each MRR
2) they need to control very narrow bits of the frequency scale at small tolerances which are extremely hard to keep stabilized
3) in general this technology is too complicated and likely will not endure long term RT

However, as Investors learned for the 3rd party Polariton paper issued at OFC 2022, if they applied LWLG's technology to the MRR (very similar to Polaritons Racetrack modulator) then they could SIMPLY achieve world class results like Polariton did!!

If you review the COMPARATIVE results of Polariton's LWLG secret sauce racetrack (MRR) vs the Intel/Ayers silicon MRR you will see that LWLG/Polariton were TONS THE BEST!!!

So bottom line, yes it is quite likely that LWLG technology will be enabling Ayar/Intel's technology, currently that would all be under the wraps of NDA's of course
