Michael Lebby, Chair in Optoelectronics, Glyndwr University. Board Director Lightwave Logic Inc.

Presently, Michael Lebby is driving new frontiers in the integrated photonics field as CEO of OneChip Photonics as well as part-time full professor, and chair of optoelectronics at Glyndwr University in Wales, UK. In 2015, Michael has been focusing on InP based photonic integrated circuits (PICs), polymer modulators, and optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) for the datacenter segment and has been involved in assembling California's proposal (via USC) to the Federal Government for an integrated photonics manufacturing institute. Michael helped achieve >$400M in matching funding and also synthesized the proposal's datacenter and integrated photonics roadmaps for the next decade.

The potential of polymer photonics

Large volume datacenter and telecommunications applications are now driving the photonics hardware community to scale technologies down in cost, and up in performance towards $1/Gbps @400Gbps for 2km reach links. Polymer photonics offers a potential to become a new platform with a library of device designs for a photonic integrated circuit. A multi-chromophore process will be discussed that has demonstrated excellent electro-optical device properties with slot waveguide modulator designs to 38Gbd with very low drive voltages, long lifetimes, and high critical temperatures.
