Maybe this helps answer your question:
Suresh:
"And we have generated several industry firsts. We’ve
got the industry’s smallest complete transmit and receive optical engine. I’ve talked
about how it’s compatible with both 100G as well as 200G. We’ve demonstrated the
best laser coupling efficiency with wafer scale passive alignment in the industry, where
we’re demonstrating over 90% coupling efficiency. The best-in-class that I’ve seen is
about 40-60%, so we’re more than doubling the amount of light that comes out of the
laser and is effectively used through coupling. We’ve also demonstrated what we
believe is the industry’s best fiber to interposer coupling loss, again it’s 95% of the light
couples through, so the loss is less than 0.5dB. We’ve validated that we’re the
industry’s first flip chip directly modulated laser that meets the 100G as well as 200G
application requirements. We’ve got the first wafer scale assembly compatible
Multiplexers and DeMultiplexers for both CWDM4, which is 100G, as well as FR4, which
is 400G’s requirement. And we believe we are the industry’s first hybrid photonics
assembly platform that combines the benefits of passive optical filters, or PLCs (planar
lightwave circuits), RF interposers and micro optics. We’ve really transitioned and set
the company up for great success. Of course our focus over the course of 2021 is to
parlay all of these accomplishments, and these building blocks that have been
demonstrated, into products. We are actively working with customers in either custom or
semi-custom design of products for their applications, in addition to standard products
that we expect to deploy."
