Dr Lebby at SPIE Photonics Europe 2020 March 30
NATURALLY FAST AND LOW POWER ELECTROOPTIC POLYMER OPTICAL DEVICES ARE IDEALLY POSITIONED FOR THE NEXT-GENERATION INTERNET PHOTONICS ROADMAP
Michael Lebby
CEO Lightwave Logic, United Kingdom
Over the past few decades, EO (electro-optic) polymers have been developed into modulator devices that have incredible speed and low power. The talk will explore how advanced EO polymer materials can fill in the gaps of the photonics roadmap through extremely high performance.
As the appetite for increased traffic continues unabated, there are needs to look for faster and lower power consuming optoelectronic devices. One such device that merits potential that can be integrated on a photonics platform as a PIC (photonic integrated circuit) is the EO polymer modulator that is attractive not only in raw speed, but also in low power consumption for systems through direct driving without the use of dedicated (and often expensive) driver chips. Polymer modulator data will be presented that aligns with industry-based photonics roadmaps.
Biography: Michael S. Lebby joined Lightwave Logic as a member of the
Board of Directors in 2015. In May 2018, Dr. Lebby assumed the role of
CEO, Lightwave Logic Inc (LWLG:OTCQB). Lightwave Logic is a leading
technological company commercializing Electro-Optical polymers.
Dr. Lebby (born 1961, London, UK) is an Anglo-American entrepreneur
and intrapreneur in the fields of optoelectronics/photonics electronics and semiconductors. Dr. Lebby’s career started with the British Government in 1977 in telecommunications and he did research at their research labs (RSRE Malvern) in the early 1980s. Dr. Lebby worked at AT&T’s research labs: Bell Labs (1985-1989) in photonics, and subsequently drove the development (and co-authored the first patent) of the oxide VCSEL diode laser at Motorola in the 1990s (which is now used in laser mice, 3D sensing/FaceID in mobile phones, optical interconnects; where volumes of the laser are over 1B units today). From 2005-2010 he led the USA trade association in optoelectronics (OIDA) and represented the optoelectronics and photonics industry on Capitol Hill.
Dr. Lebby has run technical start-ups and commercialized optoelectronic
and photonics technology into volume manufacturing. Dr. Lebby has also
had roles as a Venture Capitalist specializing in Optical Communications. He is currently a technical expert to the European Commission. He is a Fellow member of IEEE and OSA, and has been voted PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) business leader of the year by the PIC International Conference in 2018.
Dr. Lebby holds over 450 issued international patents in photonics and
electronics, that have been derived from over 220 issued USPTO utility
patents, mostly in the field of optoelectronics, photonics and semiconductors. He has been cited by the USPTO to be in the most prolific 75 inventors in USA from 1988-1997.
Dr. Lebby is passionate about photonics and has focused his efforts over
the last 30years to drive new photonics manufacturing programs in USA
and Europe as well as industry-based photonics technology roadmaps.
