<<Would the 40Gbps modulator work for the OC-192 market?>>

Yes, but maybe not without a bit of tweeking.

The polymer materials were tested at 1GHz intervals from 0 to 113GHz in 1GHz increments. I don't know if it simply a matter of feeding it a 10Gbps electronic data stream instead of a 40Gbps stream, or if something inside the modulator has to change as well.

One thing I am pretty sure of though, is it wouldn't be difficult to do. I'm pretty confident they will offer a 10Gbps product along with the 40Gbps one, assuming the market and ROI is there, which sure seems to be the case. The same goes for the OC-48 market, if there is money still to be made there.
