Lightwave Logic, Inc.
Developer of proprietary electro-optic polymer materials used to make high-speed optical modulators for data communications and photonic applications.
From the annual report
Lightwave Logic, Inc. is a specialty materials and intellectual property company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary electro-optic ( EO ) polymer materials designed to enable high-speed optical modulators for data communications and other photonic applications. Our Perkinamine family of EO polymer materials is engineered for integration into silicon photonics ( SiPh ) and other photonic integrated circuit ( PIC ) platforms. When incorporated into device architectures, these materials are designed to support high-speed, high-bandwidth optical modulation with lower drive voltage requirements relative to certain conventional silicon-based approaches and certain other traditional photonic material systems, including III-V based compound semiconductor technologies. The electro-optic properties of these materials can allow shorter interaction lengths in modulator designs, which can contribute to more compact device footprints and increased integration density. In addition, our materials are intended to be compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ( CMOS ) fabrication processes, which may facilitate integration into established semiconductor foundry workflows. Reduced drive voltage operation may enable lower system-level power consumption and simplified driver electronics in specific implementations. We do not manufacture optical transceivers, photonic devices, or complete optical modules.
