Lightwave Logic has announced that its current tests-results of electro-optic material platform support the earlier results (r33) of its perkinamine class materials.
The company has earlier launched an electro-optic material platform to support applications for the military, aerospace and optical computing market segments. It has also announced that it has begun the initial prototype of a phase modulator for its new platform.
The company claimed that its most recent performance testing (r33) measurements, the r33 Teng-Man testing protocol, support its previous test results. The tests were conducted at 1350 and 1550 nano-meters (nm).
Fred Goetz Jr., chief science officer of Lightwave, said: We believe we have created the first electro-optic polymer material platform to exhibit the ability to support applications with thermal stability as high as 350 degrees celsius. This high temperature stability of our materials eliminates a major obstacle to vertical integration of electro-optic polymers into standard microelectronic manufacturing processes.
The company said that it is also continuing with the performance testing and material characterisation of its new electro-optic material platform using, among others, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Alabama.
The company stated that Johns Hopkins University would characterise its perkinamine class of materials using spectroelectrochemical methods, while the University of Alabama would characterise it using electro spin resonance spectroscopy.
