Aves 99, if you've been around as long as you've stated you'll be well aware there is first a development and then a very extensive "validation" process.
The way you've stated your question implies that without formal validation, it simply doesn't exist. Some would conclude this to be somewhat misleading. So, when you ask if it’s been validated, what exactly do you mean? Physically built, validated by the company, validated by the customer, passed alpha stage, passed beta stage, ready for mass production?
To answer your question. Yes, the 400G Tx does exist.
The demonstration video produced for the postponed CIOE clearly shows a working 400G Tx + Rx complete using CW lasers and Lithium Niobate modulator. It exists and really works. The entire video is interesting, but if you are simply looking for evidence the 400G Tx exists, please fast forward to 3’46”.
Some of the things we know:
All that said, I agree the company’s messaging can be confusing and definitely lacking in clarity for most investors. It’s no secret, they haven’t been very successful in this regard (massive understatement!). Add-in past delays and missed milestones, one can understand uncertainty and skepticism.
All of the above can be obtained through the company’s website, youtube videos, etc.. If you have done this and still believe the 400G Tx capability is hypothetical, then I'm not sure what anyone can say to convince you otherwise. It may be best to direct your questions to the company itself in hopes of obtaining a more satisfying response.
