Lightwave Logic CEO Dr. Michael Lebby to Co-Chair 8th Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) International Conference in Belgium

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced that CEO Dr. Michael Lebby has been invited to co-chair the Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) International Conference taking place April 18-19^th, 2023 in Brussels, Belgium.

The 8th PIC International conference will build on the success of its predecessors, with industry-leading insiders delivering more than 30 presentations spanning six sectors. Attendees at the two-day conference will gain an up-to-date overview of the status of the global photonics industry as well as have the opportunity to meet many other key players within the community. 

In addition to serving as co-chair of the event, Dr. Lebby is scheduled to host a presentation for in-person attendees within the "Scaling PICs in Volume Using Foundries" track, focusing on the industry's consideration of electro-optic polymer modulators due to their increased modulation speed, lower power consumption, and potential for future multi-Tbps aggregated data-rates in the next decade. Additionally, Dr. Lebby will discuss the latest results on foundry fabricated EO polymers, as well as the latest work in photonics roadmaps on both the integrated photonics (PIC) level as well as PIC packaging level.
