ABSTRACT
Photonics has been critical to the growth of the Internet that now carries a vast array of information over optical fiber. The future growth of information technology, including the transmission and processing of vast
amounts of data, will require a new class of photonic devices that readily integrate directly with semiconductor circuits and processors. Nanophotonics will play a key role in this development, providing
both designer optical materials and radically smaller and lower power consumption devices. We present our developments in engineered nanophotonic polymer materials and electro-optic polymer/silicon nanowire
devices in the context of this burgeoning field.

I have read the paper which reveals high in device EO coefficients (in device): 150 pm/V to 250 pm/V at 1310 nm using Soluxra and/or Gigoptics materials. However, Dr. Norwood did not mention any data relating to durability. The only comment on thermal stability was given as reference to an old paper:

H. Chen, B. Chen, D. Huang, D. Jin, J. D. Luo, A. K.-Y. Jen, and R. Dinu, “Broadband electro-optic polymer modulators with high electro-optic activity and low poling induced optical loss,” Appl. Phys. Lett.
93, 043507 (2008).

This is consistent with what Tom has been telling us. There are currently no known competitors to Lightwave Logic in the EO polymer field. As Warren Buffett once explained, this the type of "moat" that is highly desirable for a company. The moat prevents others from competing for revenues. In this case, stability is the moat.
