$LWLG "We are now optimizing the performance of our 50Gbps modulators for our polymer photonic integrated circuit (P2PIC) platform and prototype packages."
Realizing that leap-frogging the competition offering products at 100 Gbps would be an enormous opportunity for us, we set our sights on achieving 50Gbps capability (A 400Gbps solution would typically require 4 channels of 50Gbps in parallel, and encoded using PAM4, or more simply 8 channels at 50Gbps using NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) coding of digital 1's and 0's.).
The 50Gbps benchmark had been in our technology platform roadmap plan that we identified at our Annual Shareholder meeting in May 2017. In the presentation, I had targeted the end of 2017 to complete and demonstrate 50Gbps capability with our polymer modulators. With a steadfast focus on design, fabrication, and characterization, we made incredible progress and successfully demonstrated by early September that our polymer modulator platform is capable of 50Gbps--over 3 months ahead of schedule!
