Lightwave to Provide Polymers for LADAR R&D

NEWARK, DE /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic Inc., a technology company focused on the development of a next-generation nonlinear optical polymer materials platform for applications in high-speed fiber-optic data communications and optical computing, announced that it will be providing its organic nonlinear optical polymers to the University of Colorado's Guided Wave Optics Laboratory (GWOL) in support of a the efforts of Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) effort to develop a prototype 3D imaging Laser Rader (LADAR) system. The formal purchase order is pending with details to follow when available.

Tom Zelibor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic commented, "This will be the first direct sale of our materials and validates that our Perkinamine family of chromophores can enable new toolsets for the development of next-generation devices with advanced capabilities. Even though this represents only a small amount of our material and revenue, if successful it could lead to more significant sales. I am also pleased that our long-term relationship with Dr. Alan Mickelson and the Guided Wave Optics Lab at University of Colorado and BNS will provide an opportunity to showcase our material in an advanced DoD application."
