Gates,

Where do you see that GIG is collaborating with Intel?

Intel is collaborating with UA/Norwood for their sol-gel "cladding" for hybrid eo polymer modulators.

GIG is trying to license UA/Norwood's sol-gel "cladding" for their eo polymer modulators.

Intel(Block group) has worked with Soluxra/Jen for many years but for some reason they haven't pulled the trigger. Recent literature focuses on increasing the thermal stability.

Also in regards to patent:

"In one embodiment, over the electro-optic material 240 is disposed a passivation layer 260 to protect the electro-optic material 240 and prevent moisture absorption where the material is hygroscopic (e.g., EOP). The passivation may be SiN, SiC, SiCN, or A10x (e.g., AI2O3). Though studies of novel EOP materials with improved temperature stability are underway, a low temperature passivation material, such as A10x is particularly advantageous as the passivation layer 260 where the electro-optic material 240 is temperature sensitive."

As BSMITH72(Opsis?) noted earlier it is ignorant to assume LWLG is the only game in town as Intel has been actively working with UW & UTD among others for many years. But to me it looks as you have some with very high r33s and others that have incredible thermal stability with LWLG material falling right in between. To me that seems like a good thing. Finally if UA/Norwoods sol-gel cladding potentially increases the r33 by a factor of 2-2.5x it could help a material such as LWLG's get the r33 high enough to get the operating voltage below a volt.

BTW: Fred Leonberger has continually said that there are a number of features that are not found in any other materails to the best of his knowledge. Fred Leonberger is a scientific advisor to CIAN (http://www.cian-erc.org/cian.cfm) and also to Bandwith 10 (http://bandwidth10.com/company.html). Norwood, Wilner, Chang-Hasnain are among many others individuals that have been involved in EO polymer research with some of the aforemenitioned competitors. So he certainly has the contacts to know what is going on. Fred Leonberger is our white paper.
