$LWLG Lightwave Logic Announces Breakthrough Low Power, Electro-Optic Polymer Test Results for Datacenter Applications.
Good news for Michael Lebby and potentially POET. As we know the strength of POET is derived from the ability to mix and match the best active elements to produce the best optical engine. There has always been a concern around polymer thermal stability. That is where POET comes into play with the multi prong approach to achieve all the necessary requirements to both isolate and manage the thermal signature of each element through lateral displacement and heat sink through channels designed into the optical interposer at mating points.
The best material sets for each function with lowest insertion and transmission losses resulting in the lowest energy to generate and move the light, the lowest heat generated as a result with the end result being the lowest power and highest performance and the waveguides are not limited by wavelength frequency.
So far we have been told that POET is working with both INP and silicon modulators. I think it is very possible that they could add Polymer to that mix.
Below is Lightwave logic’s news release. An achievement that the market rewarded.
ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2020 / Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB:LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced that its latest electro-optic polymer material has exceeded target performance metrics at 1310 nanometers (nm), a wavelength commonly used in high-volume datacenter fiber optics.
Currently available electro-optic polymer materials are constrained to applications at 1550 nm and are typically used for high-performance telecommunications fiber optics applications, as well as longer reach datacenter applications. Lightwave Logic's new material demonstrates an attractive combination at 1310 nm of high electro-optic coefficient, low optical loss and good thermal stability at 85 Celsius. This material is expected to enable modulators with 80 GHz bandwidth and low drive power, and has an electro-optic coefficient of 200 pm/V, an industry measure of how responsive a material is to an applied electrical signal. This metric, otherwise known as r33, is very important in lowering power consumption when the material is used in modulator devices.
"This is a truly historic moment-not only in our company' history, but in our industry - as we have demonstrated a polymer material that provides the basis for a world-class solution at the 1310 nm wavelength, something which other companies have spent decades attempting to achieve," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Previous technologies have historically been limited to the 1550 nm wavelength, which constrains their applications, primarily to the telecommunications industry. Our technology is applicable to shorter reach datacenter operators, for whom decreasing power consumption is imperative to the bottom line of a facility. I look forward to continuing to provide updates as we progress in our technology development."
