Lightwave Logic receives ECOC Innovation Award for Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform
The company says its proprietary electro-optic polymers transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, and that the ECOC award reflects market recognition of the technology’s value
Lightwave Logic has received the 2024 Industry Award for Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform from the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), an industry exhibition that was held in Frankfurt, Germany, from 22-26 September.
The ECOC Exhibition Awards aim to highlight exceptional achievements in advancing the business of optical communications, transport, networking, fibre-based products, PICs and related developments. The awards, granted by a technical committee of industry peers and industrial corporations, indicate market recognition and cover two broad value-chain categories: Optical materials, components, packages, modules etc.; and Optical Systems, networks, standards, architecture etc.
“Lightwave Logic is honoured to receive the Award for Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform on behalf of Lightwave Logic for the second time, granted by a committee of industry peers, reflecting true market recognition of our technology,” said Michael Lebby, chairman and CEO of Lightwave Logic. “Since winning the award in 2023, we have continued to demonstrate our leadership in the photonics industry with outstanding 200G per lane performance for our technologies that aligns well with datacentre expectations today. This award serves as a highlight amidst our ongoing engagement with a wide spectrum of companies discussing device designs to materials supply and licensing agreements for our electro-optic polymer materials with OEMs and tier-1 multinational corporations. We are confident in the implicit competitive advantage of our solution to support datacentres around the world which are responding to the burgeoning demand for higher-speed data transmission from AI, machine learning, and other cloud-based services.
“ECOC is one of the leading global industry conferences on optical communications, adding to the recognition for this particular innovation award, which provides further market validation of our technology and provides industry peer confirmation of the inherent benefits of our platform.”
