From the CW-WDM MSA Group LinkedIn text provided by Nodrog a couple of days ago:
"Industry leaders are already on board. These pioneers are rolling out CW-WDM MSA-compliant products, paving the way for the next wave of optical interconnect innovation:
· Ayar Labs
· Lumentum
· MACOM
· Sivers Photonics
· Quantifi Photonics
· POET Technologies
By creating new opportunities for optical suppliers and enabling cutting-edge applications, the CW-WDM MSA is set to drive innovation across the entire optical ecosystem."

The short list of six was selected from the 11 promoter members and 45 observer members. https://cw-wdm.org/members/#promoters
POET is the only member that enables the "rolling out CW-WDM MSA-compliant products" for itself and everyone else via a platform that produces superior optical engines utilizing all lasers and wave division multiplexing techniques.
To answer your question, the closest to being a "competitor", in my estimation, is Skorpios Technologies which is also an observer member of the CW-WDM-MSA. Skorpios has its own platform, FAB and tools releated to III-V materials. Its products are Direct Detect, Coherent, CPO and Lidar. https://www.skorpiosinc.com/products-technology/tru-siph-technology-advantages/
