| Lightwave  Logic CEO Dr. Michael Lebby Invited to Present to The PIC Conference at the High  Technology Campus, Eindhoven, the Netherlands 
 Dr.  Lebby will provide an overview of the data communications environment and the  latest results of polymer PICs that can scale using 50Gbps modulators for  400Gbps applications
 
 Colorado, Aug. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG),  a technology company focused on the development of Next Generation Photonic Devices and Non-Linear  Optical Polymer Materials Systems for applications in high-speed fiber-optic  data communications and telecommunications, announced today that CEO, Dr.  Michael Lebby has accepted an invitation to present to The PIC Conference at the  High Technology Campus, Eindhoven, the Netherlands talk on Tuesday, September  26, 2017
 
 The  3rd Annual Photonic  Integration Conference is a technical conference that focuses only on PIC based  technologies and attracts speakers and companies from all over the world and is  attended by senior stakeholders in the integrated photonics value-chain. This  year’s conference is located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
 
 Dr.  Lebby’s invited talk is based on a previously published abstract is entitled,  “PICs are Enabling Innovative Products.” can be found at  (https://www.phiconference.com/program/). The talk will focus on the explosive  growth of integrated photonics both in data centers, telecom networks as well as  non-communications applications and will highlight the tremendous market  opportunity that lies ahead for both new polymer-based PIC technologies, as well  as incumbent technologies such as Indium Phosphide (InP), and platforms such as  Silicon Photonics.
 
 Dr.  Lebby will discuss Lightwave Logic’s latest results in polymer based PIC  technology, and specifically, Lightwave’s advancement of its Mach-Zehnder ridge  waveguide modulator designs for 25Gbps and 50Gbps using Polymer PIC platform  (P2IC™) technology.  The company’s P2IC™polymers system is  inherently scalable, electrically efficient and offers an open chemistry  development platform that can generate new materials to increase performance  without significant incremental cost.  The 50Gbs ridge waveguide is the  company’s initial foray into Datacom and Telecom and Cloud Computing markets.   However, future plans will incorporate P2IC™polymers in  ultra-miniaturized silicon organic hybrid devices.
 
 Dr.  Lebby noted for this talk, “Our company has again peaked interest from the fiber  communications eco-system community, and is being asked to present technical  results on our polymer based PIC technology platform.  We believe that polymer  platform is the solution that can address cost-effective performance scaling of  short haul fiber-based communication systems as data rates approach 400Gbps and  beyond.
 
 “This  conference brings together key stakeholders who are both developing and looking  for technology platforms that solve the primary problem that has hampered the  ability of the fiber communications eco-system to profitably keep pace with the  almost limitless proliferation of data.
 
 Dr.  Lebby added, “Our technical team is making terrific progress which is  compounding a growing industry awareness and anticipation of a much-needed  next-generation technology to replace legacy systems. “
