Sure for InGaAs. The paper is claiming faster for AI so the relevant metric is to compare to what can be shipped today for such applications. To scale for AI we need devices that integrate with standard CMOS processes. More exotic materials can be integrated but they are not very practical for highly integrated systems. NVIDIA’s recent announcement for their copackaged optical switch is in a silicon only ecosystem.
