$LWLG Q - Lightwave is also exploring the potential application of polymer PICs in non-communications segments that include healthcare, industrial, sensing, computation etc. Lightwave is actively hiring world class engineers who have experience in PIC based technologies (both organic and non-organic).
Would this require goo that is stable at higher temperatures. Do we have that now, or is that going to be coming later?
A - I'm 99% sure that Temp stability is not an issue, (unless something changed). Before anyone starts worrying that the goo is only for the billion dollar data centers why doesn't someone send them a message and ask Perhaps Lebby can touch on that publicly next week.
"Are there any know Temperature Stability issues with the Polymer preventing it from addressing other markets?"
In 2016 it was tested with a thermal stability of the chromophores up to 240° in solution at like 110. As info when it is in a device the solution has evaporated. If I remember correctly they cooked it for 2,000 hours at 110 degrees with no significant loss in the EO Activity?
I think this is where you are coming from the Hardy article and I think Lebby was referring to historic Polymers and why they failed, most here remember that period with other polymers and the reason that the Goetzs attacked this from a different angle.
“Lightwave Logic has pursued polymer technology because of its potential for lower cost than other materials as well as its flexibility: polymers can be combined with either silicon photonics or indium phosphide in pursuit of photonic integration. The major hurdle to productization, Lebby said, has been getting polymer-based devices to exhibit stable performance at the environmental temperatures communications environments require. Polymers have failed to meet traditional telco environmental requirements, Lebby allowed. However, the less stringent requirements of the data center have offered a more management target – one Lebby said Lightwave Logic has now achieved for 50-Gbps applications.”

A - Thermal / Photochemical Stability:
Thermal Stability of the polymer material: One of the key competitive advantages of our polymer solution is the ability to withstand standard CMOS processing temperatures and retain strong electro-optical activity. This gives our polymers the ability to integrate with standard semiconductor manufacturing processes. After process stability, it is equally important that our organic polymers withstand often-harsh operating temperatures that can be as high as 85 degrees Celsius. Test results indicate that our polymer materials maintain their electro-optic properties even after 2000 hours at 110 degrees Celsius, well beyond the temperatures of an operating communications network.
Photochemical Stability of the polymer material: Our organic polymers have demonstrated excellent stability to resist photochemical bleaching that has been typical of organic polymers. To date, our polymer materials have demonstrated stable electro-optic characteristics after 4000 hours of photochemical stability testing
