Lightwave Logic Inc (LWLG)

[prototype_101]

Lebby has told investors that LWLG is coming to market in 2024 at 800Gbs, the Device designs were created over a year ago, these designs are what have been implemented at SEVERAL LARGE FOUNDRIES on 200mm wafers which will support MILLIONS OF TRNSCEIVERS for the end users which Lebby has already told investors who they are here

with Cisco, Intel, Google, Ciena as LWLG Customers I wouldn't want to be stuck holding the Old Maid "Short" card when Lebby drops additional Licensing and Tech Transfer Agreements in 2024!!

there are 22 Million++ Shorts holding that Old Maid card currently!!

TWST: Do you see your ideal customers like Cisco or whoever makes these particular modulation devices? Are they the ones who are going to buy?

Dr. Lebby: Yes, they will — a lot of these larger companies. The Ciscos of this world as well as the Intels and the Cienas, these types of players, Googles and others. A lot of these folks are actually vertically integrated. So they actually do a lot of the things themselves. And some of the parts they send out to foundries or to contract manufacturers.

Folks, these are pretty bold statements by Lebby, and Lebby is one of the top Luminaries of the photonics Industry, personally I would NOT want to bet against him!!!

Investors just got confirmation in Lebby new article in the latest PIC Magazine that the Foundries are completing the front end & back end PDK processes including the wafer scale Poling which you have WRONGLY been saying was impossible for the past 2 years!!!!

During fabrication, the polymers are aligned through
brief application of a high voltage, enabling ultra-fast
modulation at ultra-low power.

Supporting AI with new optical modulators

To cope with surging internet traffic, datacentres can be upgraded with
electro-optic polymer modulators. This technology requires no changes
to the rest of the infrastructure and has performance headroom to
support continual upgrades for decades.

excerpt,

Lightwave Logic’s electro-optic polymers

Lightwave Logic [3] has been pursuing this
potential of electro-optic polymers to replace
existing modulators, using its patented Perkinamine
molecular compounds – state-of-the-art organic
materials that can be used to create the polymers.
The company starts with its proprietary organic
chromophores, which are a key ingredient of
polymers, and deposits them onto a silicon chip to
add an optical modulator function.

During fabrication, the polymers are aligned through
brief application of a high voltage, enabling ultra-fast
modulation at ultra-low power. Both the polymer
materials and the silicon PICs they are incorporated
into perform stably and reliably, meaning they are
well positioned to displace current semiconductor
technologies.

The silicon-based chips used are about a few
millimetres on each side, and they act as the
engine of a fibre optic transceiver, which is a core
component of switches and routers in datacentres.
One of the advantages of using polymer modulators
can be understood through the analogy of
automotive vehicles; using these modulators is akin
to upgrading a car simply by replacing its engine
with a better one, while keeping the rest of the
structure the same. Similarly, polymer modulators
can improve the fibre optic modules, while leaving
other parts of the datacentre infrastructure as they
are.

Thanks to velocity-phase matching of the electrical
signal and the optical beam, electro-optic polymers
have inherently high performance, and, crucially, the
potential for this to increase even further in later
generation products. Technology with this performance
headroom is essential to support the continual upgrading
that the internet and optical networks need. Conversely,
competing technologies – both those that are incumbent
and those competing for new business – may not work
well beyond the maturation of the current generation of
technology.

One way to visualise this performance potential is to
consider the same baseline of 3 dB optical bandwidth in
each modulator. Over the past 10 years, semiconductor
modulators have generally been achieving around 20-30
GHz, but recent enhancements to both silicon and indium
phosphide designs have raised their performance to 40-
50 GHz, occasionally approaching 60 GHz. In general,
to achieve 100G (or 100 Gbaud NRZ) and 200G (or 100
Gbaud PAM4) encoding, a 70 GHz 3 dB optical bandwidth
is required.

Today, many datacentre operators are seeking
technologies that can achieve 200G per lane. Since
polymer modulators can reach 70 GHz, and even 150
GHz – about double current lane rates – they could pave
the way for 1.6T with 4 lanes at 400G. Moreover, when
enhanced with plasmonic designs, modulator devices
using Lightwave Logic’s electro-optic polymer material
have exhibited 3 dB bandwidths exceeding 250 GHz.
