Breakthrough Peer-Reviewed Paper Results
Presented at Prestigious 2022 European Conference on Optical
Communications (ECOC)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and KARLSRUHE, Germany, Sept. 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary
electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with
less power, today announced the achievement of world record
performance for low-power consumption ultra-high-speed 'green' slot
modulators in collaboration with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT) and its spin-off SilOriX as part of a peer-reviewed
post-deadline paper presented at the prestigious 2022 European
Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Basel, Switzerland on September 22, 2022.
The team presented the first sub-1mm Mach Zehnder-type
modulators with sub-1V drive voltage that rely on LWLG's proprietary advanced Perkinamine™
chromophores. The devices rely on the slot-waveguide device concept
developed at KIT and commercialized through SilOriX. Further, the
material has experimentally proven thermal stability at 85°C and
offers extreme energy-efficiency along with high-speed modulation
in a compact footprint.
The post-deadline paper is titled "Thermally Stable
Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) Mach-Zehnder Modulator for 140 GBd
PAM4 transmission with Sub-1 V Drive Signals". SilOriX's silicon
slot modulator is a 750 μm-long device and features a VπL product
below 0.5 Vmm. The modulator permits PAM4 transmission at
symbol rates (line rates) of 140 GBd (280 Gbit/s) with sub-1V drive
signals.
"For our polymer technology to become 'Ubiquitous', we at
Lightwave Logic need to show the community that our technology is
both superior in performance and is the correct technology platform
not just for next-generation optical systems today, but for at
least the next decade," said Dr. Michael
Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Through
our collaboration with KIT and SilOriX, we have achieved a new
world-record for a silicon slot modulator using our advanced
polymer material. This shows that our material can perform in a
variety of device structures and designs and is positioned to
significantly reduce power consumption of optical networking and to
become a true 'green photonics' enabler for the industry. The
acceptance of a post-deadline at ECOC 2022 provides third party
validation of this significant result."
Dr. Adrian Mertens, CEO of
SilOriX, added: "Our goal at SilOriX is to become the premier
device design company for of silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) photonic
integrated circuits (PIC) for optical networking. Our technology
facilitates ultra-low power operation at highest data rates,
combined with extremely small footprint. This makes the device
amenable to any transceiver format – be it pluggable or co-packaged
optics for on-board applications. We are pleased to work with
Lightwave Logic, providing us with high-performance and reliable
Perkinamine™ chromophores to showcase the efficient connection of
organics and silicon photonics leading to this new world record,
further highlighting the disruptive potential of our SOH
technology."
