Follow-on Opportunity

 

Why you should care:
Supercomputers for the rest of us

Compute power/watt and footprint have emerged as
major issues.

Recognition and cognition tasks require vast compute
power.

Lightwave computing holds the potential to be low
power and low cost with 1,000,000 times the compute
power of silicon with a small footprint.

 

Goal: Replace Lithium Niobate Modulators

Attack existing $140M/yr. market

Advantages:

Equivalent optical performance

Smaller

Lower power

Simpler, cheaper drive electronics

Benefits:

Lead to network elements with
lower power consumption, lower
cost, and higher port density.

 

Modulators go in Transceivers (and on Line Cards)

Fundamental Enabling Technology

            Lightwave Logic’s ring locked perkinamine molecule is a radical departure from
the CLD (Cheng-Larry Dalton) approach that has been pursued for over half a
century. Lightwave Logic’s dual bond perkinamine chemistry solves the stability
problem by creating a stronger structure than the single bonded CLD approach.

5 patent applications covering molecular designs applied for worldwide:

Tricyclic Spacer Systems For Nonlinear Optical Devices

Anti-Aromatic Chromophore Architectures
