Intel has agreed to move its silicon photonics transceiver business to Jabil last year. I guess they put their design teams on new technology, I haven’t seen any competition with MZ modulators based on silicon photonics with more than 100 Gbps per lane ( 8x100, 16x100). So Marvell’s announcement remains intriguing.

It does seem though that this could be the end of the line for Si modulators.



Yes! And as Dr. Lebby has been stating clearly in support polymers use in PIC versus a sunsetting silicon technology.
