Insights
LWLG's polymer passing Telcordia reliability testing and advanced encapsulation breakthrough significantly enhance commercial viability for high-speed optical interconnects.
Lightwave Logic has achieved a critical technical milestone with their Perkinamine™ polymer passing the industry-standard Telcordia GR-468 85/85 environmental stress test. This test, which subjects materials to 85°C at 85% relative humidity for 1,000 hours, is a gold standard for reliability qualification in the telecom and datacom industries. The reported 1.6% average loss after testing significantly exceeds minimum requirements, demonstrating exceptional environmental stability.
More impressive is their fourth-generation atomic layer deposition encapsulation breakthrough, achieving an oxygen transmission rate of 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ g/m²/day—surpassing the industry "gold-box" standard by nearly 5 times. This represents a quantum leap in protection technology that addresses the historical Achilles' heel of electro-optic polymers: environmental degradation.
The technical significance cannot be overstated. Like OLEDs, which faced similar reliability challenges before commercial adoption, electro-optic polymers require exceptional encapsulation to prevent oxidation that degrades performance. This development potentially unlocks polymer photonics for mainstream deployment in the most demanding applications, particularly AI interconnects where power consumption and bandwidth density are paramount.
The mention of integrating this technology into silicon photonics foundry Process Design Kits (PDKs) indicates they're positioning for scalable manufacturing rather than just laboratory demonstrations. This bridges the critical gap between promising technology and commercial reality in the photonics industry, where many innovations fail to transition from lab to fab.
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG) (the "Company"), a leading provider of high-performance electro-optic (EO) polymer materials, today announced that its latest-generation Perkinamine™ polymer has successfully passed the rigorous Telcordia GR-468 85/85 environmental stress test (85 °C at 85 % relative humidity), validating its long-term reliability under harsh environmental conditions. The results confirm that Lightwave Logic's EO polymer materials can maintain performance over time, meeting key industry requirements for deployment in telecom and datacom infrastructure.
Expanded 85/85 Test Results:
Sample selection: Thin-film devices with second-generation proprietary encapsulation barrier
Stress conditions: 85 °C and 85 % relative humidity for 1,000 hours
Performance: Change in absorbance measurements showed only
1.6% average loss after 1,000 hoursPass rate: More than 11 samples exceeded Telcordia GR-468 requirements by a wide margin
These results highlight robust protection against moisture and oxygen, enabled by Lightwave Logic's proprietary encapsulation technology.
In addition, the company's process development team has achieved a significant breakthrough with its fourth-generation atomic layer deposition (ALD) encapsulation material, recently demonstrating an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ g/m²/day-approaching the measurement limit of state-of-the-art OTR instrumentation. This performance far exceeds the "gold-box" standard of 7 × 10⁻⁶ g/m²/day for lifetime reliability.
Lightwave Logic is preparing this fourth-generation encapsulation material for its next-release back-end-of-line (BEOL) Process Design Kit (PDK) for integration into silicon photonics foundries.
"Achieving full Telcordia 85/85 certification and improving barrier performance by two orders of magnitude are watershed achievements for our platform," said Yves LeMaitre, CEO of Lightwave Logic. "Similar to the trajectory of Organic LEDs, electro-optic polymers are demonstrating that they now meet the reliability requirements for deployment in real-world applications-including AI factory scale-out and hyperscalers front-end networking."
This milestone builds upon Lightwave Logic's prior achievements, including industry-leading EO polymer performance and strategic partnerships with foundries for scalable device manufacturing, and is a critical component of Stage 1 and 2 design win process with companies actively engaged in the Company's commercial pipeline.
