Lightwave Logic Announces Receipt of U.S. Patent on Device Design Enabling Mass-Volume Manufacturing

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQX: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced the receipt of a new U.S. patent on a breakthrough new device design that enables mass-volume manufacturing when designed into advanced integrated photonic platforms.

The device design, protected by U.S. Patent number 11,042,051, enhances reliability, improves optical mode control and most important, lowers by consumption through the use of direct-drive, low-voltage operation.

The patent is entitled, "Direct drive region-less polymer modulator methods of fabricating and materials therefor" and is expected to open the opportunity for low power consumption electro-optic polymers to be developed into large foundry PDKs (process development kits), and be ready for mass volume commercialization.

"We are pleased to receive yet another powerful patent, providing us with significant freedom of manufacturing and positioning us for efficient, mass-volume commercialization of our technology with large foundries," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "The patent emphasizes our technology platform using fabrication techniques that would naturally fit into foundry PDKs. Our technology is proving to be more important than ever as the industry and service providers increasingly consider high-speed, low-power and foundry compatibility ? such as our technology offers ? to be key metrics for success."
