Demonstration Combines Polariton's High-Speed Plasmonic Modulators with Lightwave's Perkinamineâ„¢ Chromophores in a Packaged Device
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and ADLISWIL, Switzerland, Sept. 24, 2024 /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 in a small form factor, today announced a collaboration with Polariton Technologies to demonstrate a packaged device with over 110 GHz super high bandwidth packaged electro-optic polymer modulators using Polariton's plasmonic modulator device design that contains Lightwave's proprietary PerkanamineTM chromophores at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) being held in Frankfurt, Germany from September 22-26, 2024. The device will be available for viewing at Polariton's booth #F47.
The packaged device contains a plasmonic modulator using electro-optic polymer material and platform chips have demonstrated 400 Gbps, which is the current specification that datacenters are looking for in optical transceiver modules.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, said: "Building on our previous collaborations, we look forward to showcasing this packaged device to customers in attendance at what is a premier industry event. This is an example of extending the performance of silicon photonics using both plasmonics as well as electro-optic polymers. Further, this collaboration forms an important technology platform for scalability using large silicon foundries for mass commercialization with 200mm silicon wafers. We look forward to sharing with ECOC attendees how the combination of electro-optic polymers and plasmonics can support datacenters around the world which are responding to high power consumption and the burgeoning demand for higher speed data transmission from artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other cloud-based services."
Dr. Wolfgang Heni, Co-CTO at Polariton, added: "Our collaboration combines our decade of experience in plasmonic circuits with Lightwave Logic's excellent high-performance electro-optic material. This device enables ultra-high bandwidths, which are extremely well suited for next generation internet and optical networking transceivers that require 200Gbps per lane today, and 400Gbps per lane soon. We look forward to additional collaborations in the future to demonstrate the capability of our combined technologies at 1.6 Tbps and 3.2 Tbps. We welcome ECOC attendees to visit our booth for more information."
