Lightwave Logic and Tower Semiconductor Announce Development Agreement to Enable High-Speed, Low-Power Modulators on Tower’s PH18 Silicon Photonics Platform

* Lightwave Logic polymer modulators are being integrated into the PH18 silicon photonics PDK of Tower Semiconductor.

* A **PDK (Process Design Kit)** is the design toolkit chip engineers use to build chips. When a component is included in the PDK, designers can **directly integrate it into their chip designs** without developing their own version.

* This significantly **reduces development time (often by years)** and lowers the barrier for adoption across multiple chip designers.

If successful, LWLG’s technology could become **a materials platform within the silicon-photonics ecosystem**, enabling widespread adoption across multiple chip designers and AI networking platforms.
