Polariton, In terms of product sales, the electro-optic modulator that we talked about earlier seems to be the only mature product now. Are there other devices or device components you’re looking to implement?

Right. The electro-optic modulator is really the main product. There are, of course, different versions of it. So there’s a phase modulator, a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a packaged version.

We believe that the electro-optic modulator is one of the key components at the moment. And since it’s integrated on PIC [photonic integrated circuit], on a standard SOI platform, it comes with all the other components around it. So we have gratings in the PDK [process design kit]. We have MMI [multi-mode interferometer], splitters, combiners and all these components that I used when working with silicon photonics.

We see the modulator as an MVP—a minimum viable product, to get started. The interest we see from the market is mostly in integrating systems on a chip. So it’s really then becoming a PIC, and the modulator becomes a critical component of the system.

I recently read about your joint efforts with Lightwave Logic. How do you view the role of partnerships and collaborations in achieving your vision for the company?

It’s super-critical. No one can do it alone. One of our company values is also teamwork. And this evolves internally: No one can do it alone. There is no single hero; we are all a team working together. But it applies to partners around the world as well. I think we should join efforts and see synergies rather than competing. One could see Lightwave as a competitor, but we can also see each other as partners and help each other succeed.

Sounds to me like Polariton has the PDK's in place to mass produce LWLG modulators on PIC's already
