Lightwave Logic Announces Launch of Technical Program With Second Fortune Global 500 Customer; Novel Material, CPO Assembly Process and PDK to Be Co-Developed for 400Gb/s AI Networking Applications

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG) (the "Company"), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, announced today the launch of a technical program with a new Fortune Global 500 Company aimed at Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) applications.

Throughout the first half of 2026, Lightwave Logic intends to develop a custom variant of its Perkinamine® electro-optic polymer material optimized for the stringent manufacturing conditions of AI scale-up and scale-out where silicon photonics chips are co-packaged with EICs (Electrical Integrated Circuits) and ASICs. In addition, Lightwave Logic intends to co-develop with its partner a technical solution optimized for 400Gb/s CPO applications. This collaboration will extend across multiple technical areas such as high-speed modulator simulation and design, product testing, packaging and assembly processes and the associated Process Design Kit (PDK) for electro-optic polymer integration into standard silicon photonics foundry process.

The goal of this program is to also demonstrate that electro-optic polymers can deliver high yield products, scale to high volume production while being fully compatible with new processes and packaging tools being developed by the semiconductor industry.

"We are delighted in having this unique opportunity to partner with a second Fortune Global 500 Company to demonstrate that our technology not only provides superior performance for transceiver applications but is also compatible with the industry roadmap for integration and co-packaging of silicon photonics PICs with next gen EICs," said Yves LeMaitre, CEO of Lightwave Logic. "Unlike crystal-based materials, such as Lithium Niobate, our Perkinamine® is designed to be fully compatible with processes and equipment available at semiconductor foundries and assembly and test manufacturers."

Note that the entry into Stage 3 of the Design Win Cycle outlined by the Company in prior investor presentations is provisional at this stage, and the formal product launch decision by our partner is contingent upon the successful execution of technical milestones related to Perkinamine® performance as well as achieving various other modulator design and integration results.
