New Patent Issuance for Previously Announced
Patent Application to Simplify Fabrication of Polymer Modulators
Designed to Integrate with Silicon Photonics to Enable Enhanced
Internet Traffic Flow and Reduced Energy Usage
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 15,
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 issuance of a U.S. patent, the
application of which was announced in April
2022, on a new invention that will simplify polymer
modulator fabrication when integrated with silicon photonics for
high-volume foundry manufacturing applications.
This patent issuance – entitled "TFP (thin film polymer) optical
transition device and method," – illustrates the design of a
simpler to fabricate, lower cost hybrid integrated photonics chip
using electro-optic polymers which are more advantageous for
high-volume production. The simplified fabrication approach
enables streamlined production of very high speed, low power
proprietary polymer modulators that will enable significantly
faster data rates in the internet environment.
The essence of the invention is a hybrid polymer-silicon
photonics engine that fits into fiber optic transceivers (either
pluggable or co-packaged) that are used in the routers, servers and
network equipment that are proliferating with the growth of data
centers, cloud computing and optical communications capacity.
The hybrid polymer-silicon photonics engine is designed to use
high-volume silicon foundry infrastructure and is published under
patent number US 11,435,603 B2.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief
Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic commented, "This patent serves
to further fortify our intellectual property portfolio, while
concurrently enabling our drive to provide a hybrid integrated
photonics platform that is straightforward for our foundry partners
to fabricate. We believe that using our electro-optic polymers, we
can significantly improve upon the performance of existing silicon
photonics – driving our technology to a point where it is truly
ubiquitous in the industry."
