About Lightwave Logic

Miscellaneous Plastics Products, SIC 3080

Lightwave Logic, Inc. develops proprietary electro-optic polymer materials designed to enable high-speed optical modulators for data communications and photonic applications. Its core offering is the Perkinamine family of materials, which are engineered for integration into silicon photonics platforms and compatibility with standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor manufacturing processes. Rather than manufacturing finished transceivers or discrete photonic modules, the business commercializes its technology through commercial material sales, intellectual property licensing, and process design kit enablement. The company targets customers including semiconductor foundries, silicon photonics device designers, optical module manufacturers, and system integrators across cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and telecommunications markets.

The company conducts development engagements across approximately eighteen customer programs spanning technology selection, product design, and prototype fabrication stages. Lightwave Logic maintains its principal executive offices and corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado.
