Lightwave Logic announces collaboration with Advanced Micro Foundry

Lightwave Logic announced a collaboration with Advanced Micro Foundry, a Silicon Photonics volume foundry, to develop state-of art polymer slot modulators utilizing AMF’s silicon photonics platform. These modulators have been shown to achieve a record low drive voltage below 1V and data rates of 200Gbps PAM4. This performance will enable a new generation of 800 Gb/s and 1.6T Gb/s pluggable transceivers to address fast growing requirements for optical connectivity for large generative AI computing clusters. Lightwave Logic and AMF have collaborated over the past year to develop the electro optic polymer slot modulators utilizing AMF’s standard manufacturing process flow on 200-mm wafers. This successful demonstration marks a significant milestone in integrated photonics, blending Silicon photonics with polymer materials. Building on this demonstration, both parties are aiming to enhance the modulators to ensure these advanced components are readily accessible to product companies on a manufacturing scale.
