Lightwave Logic's Perkinamine™ Material
Achieves World-Class Performance in Collaboration with Swiss
University ETH Zurich
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary
electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with
less power in a small form factor, today announced the latest
world-class performance of the company's Perkinamine™ EO polymer
material operating in an optical interconnect link, at 437.1Gbps
employing a PAM8 178GBaud signal encoded by a plasmonic Mach
Zehnder modulator (MZM).
In this work, intensity modulated, direct detection (IM/DD)
techniques were utilized to drive higher performance. The paper,
authored by ETH Zurich, demonstrated data rates beyond 400Gbps
for a IM/Dd optical interconnect link for the first time.
The data center industry is currently focused on exceeding
200Gbps per lane, primarily driven by generative AI opportunities.
200Gbps per lane with 4 lanes is a current interest for 800Gbps
pluggable transceiver manufacturing, which our company's EO
polymers have easily achieved. This world-class result, achieving
data rates of 400Gbps per lane, demonstrates that our company's EO
polymers are capable of exceeding double the current industry
expectation. This has the potential to enable 4 channel
1.6Tbps (1600Gbps) pluggable transceiver modules, which is on the
roadmap of datacenter operators today.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief
Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, commented: "Not only is our
EO polymer material ideal for datacenter optical interconnect
applications today at 200Gbps – but in my mind, this work proves
beyond a doubt that polymers are here to stay, with performance
headroom of over 400Gbps using a plasmonic based Mach Zehnder
modulator design. I am personally very excited not only for
our talented materials team, but for the team at ETH
Zurich who utilized our material
for a world-class result. 1600Tbps and 3200Tbps pluggable
transceivers are within our reach using our EO Perkinamine™ polymer
materials, which I believe positions us to deliver sustainable
value to our shareholders over the long-term."
