Jose Pozo video interview of Lebby at LWLG Labs
Just wrapped up an insightful visit to Lightwave Logic, Inc. in Colorado! I had the distinct honour of being given a tour by Michael Lebby, a true photonics industry legend. As the Chairman and CEO of LightWave Logic and Opticaβs Board Member and Chair of the Corporate Engagement Council, Michaelβs leadership and vision were inspiring to witness firsthand.
During the visit, I delved into the complexities of organic polymer manufacturing for high-speed interconnects. The meticulous testing at ultrahigh speeds and the detailed reliability and lifetime measurements showcase why Lightwave Logic, Inc. Logic continues to push boundaries in next-gen photonics.
This visit also comes alongside two significant press releases from LightWave Logic:
On September 9, 2024, LightWave Logic announced the appointment of Thomas Connelly, Jr., former DuPont executive and CEO of the American Chemical Society, to their Board of Directors. His wealth of experience in materials science will help LightWave Logic expand into new verticals, such as aerospace, defense, and quantum/optical computing. https://lnkd.in/dfehi9bu
On July 23, 2024, Yves LeMaitre joined the Board with over 30 years of leadership in optical technology. His expertise will accelerate the companyβs efforts in scaling their EO polymer platform, particularly in the rapidly growing AI and datacenter markets. https://lnkd.in/d5MDkpaV
LightWave Logic continues to drive transformative change in photonics, and Iβm excited to see where this journey leads!

Great endorsement received today from Michael Lebby during the market focus talk at hashtag#ecoc2024. While the industry is ramping 200G per lane, the enabling technology for 400G per lane is well on its way. Electro-optic polymer modulators display exceptional eye diagrams with minimal use of signal processing, promising for data transmission with reduced power dissipation. This is possible thanks to the flat electro-optic bandwidth of such photonic integrated circuits. Reach out with hashtag #Polariton at booth F47.
LWLG, Polariton & ETH_Zurich just upstaged & leapfrogged the entire ECOC event with today's release!!! World class performance attributes and ready for SAMPLING in October 2024!!!! Folks you can't make this sh!t up!!!! The rest of the Industry is getting ready to showcase their 800gbs devices which will ALL be using legacy technology InP EML's which means they will all be CONSUMING HIGH POWER and will come NOWHERE CLOSE to the attributes of these 400Gb standalone devices by Polariton using LWLG materials!!!
GAME OVER!!!! WE JUST LEAPFROGGED THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY!!!!!
Polariton News Release 400gb MRR's Using LWLG Materials!!

Zurich, Switzerland
Polariton Technologies announces having achieved experimental IM/DD data rate in excess of 400 GBit/s per lane using commercial off-the-shelf ring resonator modulators in a collaboration with its research partner ETH Zurich and material supplier Lightwave Logic Inc. These are to be used in products such as 1.6T and 3.2T transceivers. This significant milestone sets a paradigm shift for the optical communication industry and paves the way for next-generation connectivity.
βETH Zurich already demonstrated 400G per lane at OFC this year employing Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM). This novel achievement is performed using ring resonator modulators (RRM), which are the better fit for the application because of considerably lower losses. The device loss is in the range of best-in-class modulators at 1.2 dB. Polariton is well-positioned for the 1.6T and 3.2T transceiver market with the 400G per lane productsβ explained Claudia Hoessbacher, CEO of Polariton.
The measurements were performed earlier in 2024 using devices optimized for 1550 nm operation. They demonstrate top performance with extinction ratio of 11.2 dB and a flat electro-optic response up to 110 GHz. βThe reason we stopped measuring at 110 GHz is because we did not have calibrated instruments above 110 GHz at that time. In the meantime, we started characterizing the devices at 145 GHz and we developed devices optimized for 1310 nm wavelength operationβ, commented Benedikt Bauerle, co-CTO of Polariton.
In an industry that has been forced to go parallel because of technological limitations, Polariton provides immediate relief for the next-generation products. Parallel lines fall short with reliability problems, are costly and consume more power than compact approaches that support higher transmission per lane.
Starting in October 2024, Polariton will offer early access to customers with sample quantities of 1310 and 1550 devices. This week, the company is also highlighting the advancement of its commercial devices at the European Conference for Optical Communication (ECOC) in Frankfurt.

Absolutely clear that we are on the brink of break out! Ubiquitous! Tier1!deal(s) around the corner, more verticals, cracked the polymer code, scaling no problem, dozens of companies (among tier1 and tier 2), cracked energy consumption problem, solved cooling issues, small, fast, easy to implement, etc etc!
