Lightwave Logic, Inc. is a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary engineered electro-optic (EO) polymers, named Perkinamine® to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor. The Company’s high activity and high stability organic polymers allow it to create next-generation photonic EO devices that convert data from electrical signals into light/optical signals for applications in telecommunications, and for data transmission potentially used to support generative AI. Our differentiation at the modulator device level is in higher speed, lower power consumption, simplicity of manufacturing, small footprint (size), and reliability. We have demonstrated the electro-optic polymers potential for higher speed and lower power consumption in packaged devices, and during 2024, we continued to make advances in techniques to translate our world class material properties to efficient, reliable modulator devices with commercial foundries.
