Breakthrough Peer-Reviewed Paper Results Presented at Prestigious 2022 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and KARLSRUHE, Germany, Sept. 22, 2022 /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, today announced the achievement of world record performance for low-power consumption ultra-high-speed 'green' slot modulators in collaboration with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and its spin-off SilOriX as part of a peer-reviewed post-deadline paper presented at the prestigious 2022 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Basel, Switzerland on September 22, 2022.
The team presented the first sub-1mm Mach Zehnder-type modulators with sub-1V drive voltage that rely on LWLG's proprietary advanced Perkinamine™ chromophores. The devices rely on the slot-waveguide device concept developed at KIT and commercialized through SilOriX. Further, the material has experimentally proven thermal stability at 85°C and offers extreme energy-efficiency along with high-speed modulation in a compact footprint.
The post-deadline paper is titled "Thermally Stable Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) Mach-Zehnder Modulator for 140 GBd PAM4 transmission with Sub-1 V Drive Signals". SilOriX's silicon slot modulator is a 750 µm-long device and features a VpL product below 0.5 Vmm. The modulator permits PAM4 transmission at symbol rates (line rates) of 140 GBd (280 Gbit/s) with sub-1V drive signals.
"For our polymer technology to become 'Ubiquitous', we at Lightwave Logic need to show the community that our technology is both superior in performance and is the correct technology platform not just for next-generation optical systems today, but for at least the next decade," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Through our collaboration with KIT and SilOriX, we have achieved a new world-record for a silicon slot modulator using our advanced polymer material. This shows that our material can perform in a variety of device structures and designs and is positioned to significantly reduce power consumption of optical networking and to become a true 'green photonics' enabler for the industry. The acceptance of a post-deadline at ECOC 2022 provides third party validation of this significant result."
Dr. Adrian Mertens, CEO of SilOriX, added: "Our goal at SilOriX is to become the premier device design company for of silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) photonic integrated circuits (PIC) for optical networking. Our technology facilitates ultra-low power operation at highest data rates, combined with extremely small footprint. This makes the device amenable to any transceiver format - be it pluggable or co-packaged optics for on-board applications. We are pleased to work with Lightwave Logic, providing us with high-performance and reliable Perkinamine™ chromophores to showcase the efficient connection of organics and silicon photonics leading to this new world record, further highlighting the disruptive potential of our SOH technology."

Breakthrough Peer-Reviewed Paper Results Presented at Prestigious 2022 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and RUSCHLIKON, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG) and Polariton Technologies today announced the achievement of a world-record demonstration of a 250GHz super high bandwidth electro-optical-electrical (EOE) link through a collaboration with ETH Zurich. The link was demonstrated by ETH Zurich and uses Polariton's high-speed plasmonic modulators containing Lightwave's proprietary PerkanamineTM chromophores and ETH Zurich's high-speed graphene photodetectors.
The groundbreaking results were presented by Stephan Koepfli as part of a peer-reviewed post-deadline paper presented at the prestigious 2022 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Basel, Switzerland on September 22, 2022. The post-deadline paper is titled ">500 GHz Bandwidth Graphene Photodetector Enabling Highest-Capacity Plasmonic-to-Plasmonic Links".
The link contained a plasmonic modulator using electro-optic polymer material as well as a novel metamaterial enhanced graphene photodetector featuring a 200 nm spectral window and a setup-limited1 bandwidth of 500 GHz. The EOE link achieved a world record and unprecedented 250 GHz 3dB bandwidth2.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, said: "Next generation ultra-high-capacity interconnects require compact, ultra-fast modulators on the transmission end and ultra-fast photodetectors on the receiving end - this incredible result demonstrates that our electro-optic polymers will be instrumental not only for next-generation high-capacity interconnects, but for the more advanced and faster links that will be required for succeeding generations. This is an optical link that utilizes devices with extremely high bandwidths, and the plasmonic demonstration shows that hybrid technologies such as electro-optic polymers and graphene together form an important technology platform for volume scalability using large silicon foundries for mass commercialization. Through our collaboration with Polariton, we have utilized our polymers for a world-record performance for a plasmonic optical link.
"The plasmonic-to-plasmonic optical link opens flexible integration possibilities that we have only imagined before. This shows that plasmonic devices now complete an ultra-high frequency toolbox for a variety of applications in fiber communications - something we need to add to our technology roadmaps going forward," concluded Lebby.
Dr. Wolfgang Heni, Co-CTO at Polariton, added: "Polariton is dedicated to providing best-in-class devices with the highest-performance. Our goal is to make optical communications faster, the technology more scalable and with it, components and infrastructure more energy efficient. ETH Zurich's recent demonstration of a plasmonic link using both electro-optic polymers and graphene as active materials provides a peek into the future of super high-capacity optical networking. This showcases the opportunities of integrating advanced materials with established photonic platforms such as silicon photonics."
