ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave
Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company
leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data
at higher speeds with less power, today announced the
receipt of a new U.S. patent on an invention that will simplify
modulator integration for high-volume foundry manufacturing
operations while enhancing polymer reliability to enable a more
effective photonic engine.
U.S. Patent number 11,262,605 illustrates the design of a
monolithic photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that utilizes very
high speed, low power proprietary polymer modulators that will
enable much faster data rates for data communications,
telecommunications, and data rich environments. The
essence of the invention is a complete optical engine that fits
into fiber optic transceivers (either pluggable or co-packaged)
that are used in routers, servers and elsewhere in optical
networks. The engine is designed for high-volume
manufacturing operations using silicon foundry infrastructure.
The patent details polymer modulators, waveguides, and
low-optical loss coupling designs together with a laser for light
emission. The patent is entitled, "Active region-less polymer
modulator integrated on a common PIC platform and method" and is
expected to enhance the opportunity for electro-optic polymers in
future transceiver products.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief
Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, commented: "This is yet
another important patent that allows our polymer technology
platform to turbo-charge both integrated photonics platforms as
well as fiber optic transceivers that are already being utilized by
the millions on the internet. The patent illustrates the use
of our polymer modulators as a high speed, low power engine not
only for data communication and telecommunication applications, but
other new market opportunities as well.
"This is incredible, and gives us the opportunity to change our
customer's businesses through high speed, low power integrated
photonics performance. With this invention we can change the
internet and enable faster data – which we as consumers all want as
we use video platforms to work, play, and connect," concluded
Lebby.
