Electro-optic polymer modulators
A new polymer material for an optical component, called a modulator, is being developed to replace existing semiconductor modulators used in today’s internet. An optical modulator switches and modulates light, and there are millions of these devices on the internet or optical network architecture today. The current semiconductor incumbent solutions are struggling to deal with higher data rates, higher traffic volumes, low power requirements, and the small sizes necessary to cope with the rising popularity of AI.

Lightwave Logic sources and creates state-of-the-art organic materials called Perkinamine electro-optic polymers. We start with our own proprietary-designed organic chromophores, which are a key ingredient of polymer, and they get deposited onto a silicon chip to add an optical modulator function.

During the fabrication of these modulators, a high voltage is applied to them briefly to align the polymers so that ultrafast modulation, at ultralow power is enabled. Our polymer materials, and the integrated photonic silicon circuits (otherwise known as photonic integrated circuits [PICs]) that are applied to them to are reliable and stable in performance, which positions them to displace incumbent semiconductor technologies.

Polymer modulator devices are formed on a silicon-based chip roughly a few millimeters on each side, where the Perkinamine chromophore electro-optic polymer is deposited. These chips represent the engine of a fiber optic transceiver, which is a key component for data center switches and routers.
