Lightwave Logic, Inc. reported that the inaugural members of its newly formed Advisory Board are three world-class leaders in the photonics industry: Dr. Craig Ciesla, Dr. Christoph S. Harder, and Mr. Andreas Umbach. The Board held its first meeting with the Company’s management on March 5 in San Diego, co-locating the meeting with the major Optical Fiber Communications conference and trade show. This body will work closely with company leadership to enhance the company’s product positioning and promotion of its polymer modulator made on its proprietary Faster by Design™ polymer P2IC™ platform. The advanced energy-saving plastics technology promises to minimize costs, natural resources and energy consumed by datacenters and data communications network supporting the insatiable demand for Internet, 5G and IoT (Internet of Things) webscale services. Dr. Cielsa has held senior roles in the fiber optics industry, including responsibility for the production of 100G transceivers for the data center market. He was CEO and founder of Tactus Technology, a polymer-based display screen company based on his invention. With roles at Intel, JDSU, Lumentum, Kaiam, and now Illumia in DNA sequencing and nanofabrication, he brings Lightwave Logic tremendous technical and business acumen.

He was CEO and founder of Tactus Technology. Dr. Christoph Harder is one of the world’s top experts on lasers, optoelectronics and reliability. He was a cofounder of the IBM Zurich Laser Diode Enterprise which pioneered the first high reliability 980nm high power pump laser now ubiquitously used in telecom. He is currently the president and co-founder of Swissphotonics.
Lightwave Logic, Inc. is a technology company, which commercializes electro-optic photonic devices made on its P2IC technology platform. The Company has detailed its P2IC technology platform as Polymer Stack, Polymer Plus and Polymer Slot. Its polymer technology platform uses in-house organic polymers. Electro-optical devices convert data from electric signals into optical signals for multiple applications. The Company is focused on testing and demonstrating the simplicity of manufacturability and reliability of its devices, including in conjunction with the silicon photonics manufacturing ecosystem. Its first product, Ridge Waveguide Modulator, is a type of modulator where the waveguide is fabricated within a layer of its electro-optic polymer system. Various cladding materials and electrodes are layered over the core polymer. The polymer materials are then part of an integrated photonics platform that can house other photonic devices, such as lasers, waveguides and others.
