Company Selected as a Conference Finalist for the Most Innovative Product: Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 30, 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 that it has been invited to present as part of the 2024 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), which will be held September 22-26, 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany.

ECOC is Europe's leading conference on optical communications, and one of the largest and most prestigious events in the ﬁeld worldwide. The conference brings together experts and leaders from academia, research and industry across the globe to share their latest breakthroughs and visions for the future.

CEO Dr. Michael Lebby will participate in the Market Focus Session, which will include his presentation titled, "World class performance for 200Gbps PAM4 and 400Gbps PAM4 lanes from electro-optic polymer modulators" to an audience of industry experts and other industry participants. Dr. Lebby will discuss how polymer modulators are now showing world class performance for 200Gbps PAM4 lanes, with initial results at 400Gbps PAM4 lanes and headroom for 800Gbps lanes as polymers have significant bandwidth capability.

Market Focus Session Presentation
Title: World class performance for 200Gbps PAM4 and 400Gbps PAM4 lanes from electro-optic polymer modulators
Speaker: Michael Lebby, CEO Lightwave Logic Inc.
Day: Monday, September 23, 2024
Time: 10:00 a.m. Central European time

Lightwave Logic has also been selected as a finalist for the Most Innovative Product: Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform with its entry entitled: High-performance polymer modulators for 200Gbps PAM4 lanes under 1V drive voltage, and 400Gbps PAM4 lanes. The winners will be announced live at ECOC Exhibition in the Product Focus theatre on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 from 11:45 a.m. Central European time.

"With strong competition and only a fraction of entries selected for oral presentation, we are honored to have received both a presentation slot and selected as a finalist for most innovative product at ECOC," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators are a hot topic in the industry today as the industry strives to increase modulation speed while reducing optical network equipment power consumption, driven by generative AI-driven needs to upgrade hyperscaler datacenters. We believe that as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other cloud-based services continue to drive the need for higher speed data transmission, the interest in the inherent wide bandwidth, low power consumption and footprint of our world-class performance electro-optic (EO) polymers will grow. I look forward to providing this presentation to the industry and continuing to position Lightwave as a clear leader in this space with one of the hottest topics at this tier-1 industry conference."
