使用Lightwave Logic的专有插槽调制器设计对200mm硅晶圆进行标准制造工艺,在200Gbps PAM4下实现了创纪录的亚1V驱动——非常适合800Gbps和1.6T可插拔收发器。
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG) a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor today announced a collaboration with Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF), a leading Silicon Photonics volume foundry – to develop state-of art polymer slot modulators utilizing AMF's silicon photonics platform.
科罗拉多州恩格尔伍德,2024年5月21日 /PRNewswire/ — Lightwave Logic, Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:LWLG)是一家技术平台公司,利用其专有的电光(EO)聚合物以更小的外形以更低的功率传输数据,今天宣布与领先的硅光子学批量铸造厂Advanced Micro Foundry(AMF)合作,利用AMF开发最先进的聚合物槽调制器的硅光子学平台。
These modulators have been shown to achieve a record low drive voltage below 1V and data rates of 200Gbps PAM4. This performance will enable a new generation of 800 Gb/s and 1.6T Gb/s pluggable transceivers to address fast growing requirements for optical connectivity for large generative AI computing clusters.
事实证明,这些调制器可实现低于1V的创纪录低驱动电压和200Gbps PAM4的数据速率。这种性能将支持新一代 800 Gb/s 和 1.6T Gb/s 可插拔收发器,以满足大型生成式 AI 计算集群快速增长的光学连接需求。
Lightwave Logic and AMF have collaborated over the past year to develop the electro optic polymer slot modulators utilizing AMF's standard manufacturing process flow on 200-mm wafers. This successful demonstration marks a significant milestone in integrated photonics, blending Silicon photonics with polymer materials. Building on this demonstration, both parties are aiming to enhance the modulators to ensure these advanced components are readily accessible to product companies on a manufacturing scale.
在过去的一年中,Lightwave Logic和AMF合作开发了利用AMF在200毫米晶圆上的标准制造工艺流程开发了电光聚合物槽调制器。这次成功的演示标志着集成光子学领域的一个重要里程碑,它将硅光子学与聚合物材料融为一体。在此演示的基础上,双方的目标是增强调制器,以确保产品公司能够在制造规模上随时获得这些先进的组件。
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and CEO of Lightwave Logic, commented: "AMF is truly a world class facility with their silicon photonics maturity, and capacity for volume manufacturing. Working with AMF, we not only increased our wafer size to 200-mm, but we also turbo-boosted silicon photonics with our polymer slot modulators to achieve world class performance. Engineers from both sides have worked hard to achieve a silicon photonics design that integrates smoothly with polymer – a process that would have been much more challenging if other next-generation modulator materials had been utilized. This accomplishment puts our company in a very strong position to ramp volume both for our polymers as well as 200-mm silicon wafer volume with AMF."
Lightwave Logic董事长兼首席执行官迈克尔·莱比博士评论说:“AMF凭借其成熟的硅光子学和批量生产能力,确实是世界一流的设施。与AMF合作,我们不仅将晶圆尺寸扩大到200mm,而且还使用聚合物槽调制器对硅光子学进行了涡轮增强,以实现世界一流的性能。双方的工程师都在努力实现与聚合物平稳集成的硅光子学设计——如果使用其他下一代调制器材料,这一过程将更加具有挑战性。这一成就使我们公司处于非常有利的地位,既可以提高聚合物的产量,也可以通过AMF提高200毫米硅晶圆的产量。”
Mr Jagadish C.V, CEO of AMF, stated: "Lightwave Logic's EO polymer modulators have been demonstrated to support higher baud rates, low power consumption, all while preserving their compact size. These features, integrated with AMF Silicon Photonics platform, make them cost effective options for 4X200 Gb/s (800Gb/s) and next-generation 1.6Tb/s pluggable transceivers applications. This demonstration opens exciting opportunities to develop novel solutions for commercial-grade-compatible EO polymer modulators seamlessly integrated with AMF's standard processes. We are keen to continue to explore the synergies between EO polymer modulation on our foundry processes, to provide innovative and manufacturable technology solutions for data communication."
AMF首席执行官Jagadish C.V先生表示:“事实证明,Lightwave Logic的EO聚合物调制器支持更高的波特率、低功耗,同时保持其紧凑的尺寸。这些功能与 AMF Silicon Photonics 平台集成,使其成为 4X200 Gb/s (800Gb/s) 和下一代 1.6Tb/s 可插拔收发器应用的经济实惠的选择。该演示为开发与AMF标准工艺无缝集成的商用级兼容EO聚合物调制器的新型解决方案开辟了激动人心的机会。我们渴望继续探索我们的铸造工艺中环氧乙烷聚合物调制之间的协同效应,为数据通信提供创新和可制造的技术解决方案。”
