Lightwave Logic's 50 Gbaud polymer modulator spans 10km

Lightwave Logic announced a 50 Gbaud polymer modulator designed for fiber links of 10 km or longer.

The 50 Gbaud device is capable of base data rates of 100 Gbps when used with PAM-4 modulation, and of supporting aggregate data rates of 400 Gbps when implemented in an array.

The company its proprietary electro-optic polymers enable optical components with superior speed, stability, low power and cost-efficiency.

Lightwave Logic CEO Michael Lebby said, "While we explore other multi-billion dollar markets the benchmark market opportunity for fiber optic link distances of 10km and greater is worth over $1B over the next decade. As data rates increase, we see a growing technology gap at these longer reaches that our modulators are ideally suited to fill."
