Lightwave Logic (NASDAQ:LWLG), Inc. is a technology company specializing in the development of high-performance electro-optic polymer materials and photonic devices for optical communications and data processing. The company’s core focus is on polymer-based modulators and integrated photonic circuits designed to deliver low-power, high-speed signal modulation for fiber-optic networks, data centers and 5G infrastructure. By leveraging proprietary organic materials, Lightwave Logic aims to enable more compact, energy-efficient and cost-effective alternatives to traditional lithium niobate and silicon-based optical components.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, Lightwave Logic operates research and pilot manufacturing facilities in the United States, including a material development lab in Clearwater, Florida. The company pursued a public listing through a reverse merger in 2017 and trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker LWLG. Over its history, Lightwave Logic has built a portfolio of electro-optic polymer formulations and device designs that address the growing demand for higher bandwidth and lower latency in global communications networks.
Lightwave Logic’s product pipeline includes modulators capable of operating in the tens of gigahertz range, tunable optical switches and hybrid silicon-polymer photonic integrated circuits. These devices target multiple markets, including long-haul and metro optical transport, short-reach data center interconnects and emerging applications in optical computing and sensing. The company collaborates with foundry partners and system integrators across North America, Europe and Asia to advance its technology through joint development and pilot production agreements.
The leadership team is led by Chief Executive Officer Mark L. Friedrich, a photonics industry veteran with more than two decades of experience in high-speed optical device development. Lightwave Logic’s management is supported by a Scientific Advisory Board composed of experts in electro-optics, applied materials science and telecommunications. With a concentrated focus on commercialization of its electro-optic polymer platform, the company is positioned to address the accelerating global shift toward higher-capacity optical networks and next-generation data architectures.
