Lightwave Logic, a tech-focused company harnessing its unique electro-optic (EO) polymers for faster data transmission with reduced power consumption in a compact design, disclosed its achievement of the 2023 Industry Award for the Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform. This accolade was presented by the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), a prestigious industry event hosted in Glasgow, Scotland, from October 2 to 4, 2023.

The ECOC awards emphasized technology and product commercialization, highlighting significant achievements in advancing the business of optical communications, transport, networking, fiber-based products, photonic integration circuits, and related developments. The Innovative Product category with five subcategories looked across the industry at new products that drove change in their respective market segments and contributed to the increased use of optics. Metrics included design features that were based on photonics, electronics, thermal, mechanical, chemical, environmental, and carbon footprint considerations.

"I am privileged to receive the Award for Most Innovative Hybrid PIC/Optical Integration Platform on behalf of Lightwave Logic," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Michael Lebby. " Our team at Lightwave Logic has worked very hard to bring our hybrid PIC platform based on EO polymers to this level of maturity. I am honored to represent our team"

"ECOC is one of the leading conferences on optical communication and attracts top industry minds from across the world. Our proprietary engineered EO polymers enable an innovative hybrid PIC platform with optical modulators to drive data at higher speeds with less power, together in a very small form factor which is ideal for PIC-based transceivers. We expect to see our hybrid PIC platform performance extend for future generations of optical equipment that will help drive the internet over the next decade. With our commercialization underway, awards such as this further validate our technology and provide industry confirmation of the inherent benefits of our platform," concluded Lebby.
