I read some of the posts here and I just scratch my head. Lidgtwaves Polymer Triples the speed of Silicon photonics, reduces power requirements my 90% and the modulators are not 1/2 as large but tiny 1/30 the size.

EO Polymer Slot
• (1) Standard CMOS/silicon photonics chip with slots defined by photolithography
• (2) Standard metallization for gate/source contacts
• (3) Spin-on EO polymer, cured in standard ovens, polled for optical switching
• (4) Dielectric passivation for protection to environment (chip-scale packaging)
• (5) Standardized, consistent poling process with extremely high yields

Source: Lightwave Logic (LWLG), PDK = Process Development Kit

• Unique EO performance of poled polymers
• For example: Bandwidths in excess of 100GHz, phase velocity
match allowing bandwidths of 170GHz+, Low Vpi, High r33…
• Polymers are stable and reliable
• The same arguments were made against LCDs and OLEDs and
now we use OLED TVs, mobile displays….and we never discuss
stability, reliability issues today…ever…
• Today, poling is a process that is consistent, stable and
reliable and suitable for foundry operation
• Advanced process, excellent control, standardized technique
• Extremely high yields on >1000 poled devices…
Poling can be ported to foundries to simplify PDK processes
Standard silicon fabrication processes; standard silicon tools

Naturally very fast at modulating light (material properties)
• 2-3X existing solutions using modulators
• Naturally very low power consuming (material properties)
• 10X lower power depending on device/architectural design
• Foundry compatible: PDKs ported to silicon fabs
• Process is standard and does not require special tool kits
• Consistent, stable and reliable poling process
• EO Polymer has security of supply and scalable in vol
• Material designed and sourced directly from LWLG
• Low-cost addition to integrated photonics platforms
• Silicon photonics (and InP) can be boosted in performance
Polymers are unique in their properties

As ifo TH the shorts are starting to cover so we'll be competing with them to buy shares.
