Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG) moved 4.6% higher in Tuesday’s premarket session after unveiling a new technical development program with a Fortune Global 500 company focused on advancing Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology.
The photonics technology company, known for its proprietary electro-optic polymer platform designed to deliver faster data transmission with lower power consumption, will engineer a tailored version of its Perkinamine polymer optimized for AI-related manufacturing environments. The joint program, which runs through the first half of 2026, targets co-development of a technical solution for 400Gb/s CPO applications.
This initiative represents Lightwave Logic’s second collaboration with a Fortune Global 500 firm. The work will cover several technical domains, including high-speed modulator simulation, product testing, and packaging methodologies.
“We are delighted in having this unique opportunity to partner with a second Fortune Global 500 Company to demonstrate that our technology not only provides superior performance for transceiver applications but is also compatible with the industry roadmap for integration and co-packaging of silicon photonics PICs with next gen EICs,” said Yves LeMaitre, CEO of Lightwave Logic.
The company added that entry into Stage 3 of its Design Win Cycle remains conditional, noting that a full product rollout by the partner will depend on hitting required technical milestones tied to Perkinamine performance and modulator design outcomes.
Lightwave Logic’s suite of technologies is geared toward converting electrical signals into optical ones, serving telecommunications applications and potentially supporting next-generation generative AI workloads.
