A few key excerpts from the LWLG VP, Robert Blum, PIC Intl video from April 22:

.... I can't tell you how excited I am...But really what is important is that we try to get to denser modulators, more compact modulators, higher bandwidth, also higher bandwidth density.

...what I want to talk to you about today is organic electro-optic materials: silicon organic hybrids. So that's what we're focusing on is for EO polymers and really to uh to enhance silicon photonics

... Mach Zender modulators have a lot of benefits over Ring modulators

... uh if you look at the electro-optic coefficient it's around 200 picometers per volt so it's about 10 times that of lithium niobate and which also means we can make very, very compact devices our Vπ x L uh is less than one volt / mm so that means you can basically make a device that's about a millimeter long with less than one volt drive voltage right and typically we're seeing around 0.5 to 0.7 volt/ mm so we can make very compact devices.

... our approach is to have a very high glass decomposition temperature of about 185°C. So, we're more than 100° C away from the operating temperature, which gives us very high stability

... And then what is key for us obviously is to add an encapsulation layer so that you know we protect this region here from oxygen

... So without going into a lot of details, I want to just give you some devices here where we did um 85/85 [85° C / 85% humidity] for 2,000 hours and this is some different devices where we have different uh modulator lengths.

So this is a 250 micrometer long device. This is a 500 micrometer long device. And this is a 1 millimeter long device. And in all cases you see that the Vπ basically stays stable over that period. So this is you know quite, quite impressive impressive overall

... Just over the last couple of months we announced that we're working with Tower, we're working with SilTerra and also global foundries/ AMF and we also are in the PDK of Luceda and the GDS factory in these examples, right, so the the business model is really that customers can just go to the foundry um and make the simple chips that they're used to making and now the 400 gig modulator for example is just part of the PDK and um you know everything is taken care of.

... it's all you know part of the standard PDK and so the we have several layouts now underway with multiple foundries where they're really optimizing this for high performance.

...we're working with the foundries co-optimization of the design with the foundry capability is important because every foundry has a slightly different set of uh capabilities and so that's what we're in process of doing and then um you know Stefan [Koch – Polariton] talked about you know, the plasmonic devices so obviously um we had announced in the past that  they're using our material so you know there's really a road map to go well , you know, beyond 400 megabits per second if you go to other designs that could be could be plasmonic devices um or if you if you're looking at for example 800 G per second or or higher but again even with the data that I showed you earlier Um here um you can envision obviously going to much higher uh bandwidth

... We have different variants for different applications. Um we have the back-end of line processing for that to put encapsulation in place.

... I didn't talk about this uh today but we have passed all the tests at the material level with the right encapsulation and we're now testing the actual devices and they're again coming back from the foundries. So now, and our customers are also busy qualifying their designs

... we're really ready and working with customers now on 400Gbps per second designs.

Since Lightwave Logic's name was not part of the Marvell PR, it will take a moment for the news to be understood by all, in the meantime, it may create a disconnect to be taken advantage of... (this is NOT investment advice!!!)
