- Why
- The published numbers (1.2 dB loss, 40 dB crosstalk, <3 ms reconfiguration, no amplification) are numerically better than a 2025 AIST review of academic 300-mm silicon-photonic switches (8.8 dB average fiber-to-fiber loss for an 8x8 device; 11.8 dB average on-chip loss and crosstalk below -20 dB for a 32x32 device), although the measurement bases may differ. They are self-reported, limited to 8x8, and tied to a demonstration vehicle with no pricing, named customers or commercial dates disclosed. The 64x64 and 72x72 variants are only reported as taped out or in development by a single secondary source summarizing a conference talk.
- Next
- Watch for the commercial product announcement promised 'in the coming months', independent loss/crosstalk measurements, higher-radix (64x64+) availability, and any named customer or qualification.
