World-class Results Presented in Peer Reviewed
Paper at Prestigious Optical Fiber Conference (OFC 2022)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and RUSCHLIKON, Switzerland, March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave
Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company
leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit
data at higher speeds with less power, today announced the
achievement of world-class results for a polymer modulator, as
demonstrated in an enhanced stability and high-speed measurement by
Polariton Technologies and ETH Zurich.
The results were generated using the Company's proprietary,
advanced Perkinamine™ chromophores in Polariton's
silicon-photonics-based plasmonic racetrack modulator that offers
energy-efficient, low-loss, and high-speed modulation in a compact
footprint that is ideal for pluggable and/or co-packaging
transceiver modules. The POH modulator used a resonant racetrack
geometry to form a micro-ring modulator (MRM) using the structure
reported last year.
The world-class results were presented as a contributed
peer-reviewed paper at the prestigious 2022 Optical Fiber
Conference (OFC2022), the optical communication industry's leading
international technical conference and trade show, in San Diego on March
10, 2022.
The plasmonic modulator performance was compared to that of
silicon photonic microring modulators. The plasmonic device, using
Lightwave Logic's electro-optic polymer material, was shown to be
250-3000x more stable than the silicon devices relative to
operating condition changes. In addition, the plasmonic
modulator was tested for 70+ minutes at 100 Gbps NRZ at 80C with no
decrease in performance.
"This result showing third party review and verification of
stability and high-temperature operation illustrates once again
that our electro-optic polymer materials platform is truly
world-class," said Dr. Michael
Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Our
polymer materials are clearly poised to not only change internet
optical networking, but to become ubiquitous in their use across
the internet.
"Through our collaboration with Polariton, we have again
achieved world-class results using our material for high speed, low
power polymer modulators, and now that the industry has publicly
indicated that these types of modulators are key for lowering power
consumption in datacenter/telecommunications systems, 2022 is
shaping up to be an extremely exciting year for Lightwave Logic,"
concluded Lebby.
Dr. Wolfgang Heni, Co-CTO at
Polariton, added: "Polariton has continued to enhance the
performance of plasmonic modulators using polymer technology. This
is another step towards our goal for faster optical communications
with a scalable platform that is perfect for photonics integration
and low power consumption. Our recent performance enhancement
of a plasmonic racetrack modulator demonstrates the simplicity of
integrating plasmonics, silicon photonics, and organic polymer
electro-optics for high-speed and energy-efficient components. We
are again pleased to have worked with Lightwave Logic, providing us
with high-performance and reliable Perkinamine™ chromophores for
these world-class results. Together, we plan to revolutionize the
future of the internet through adoption of electro-optic polymer
materials."
