Lightwave Logic (LWLG) Stock Jumps 30% Following Tower Semiconductor Partnership
The post Lightwave Logic (LWLG) Stock Jumps 30% Following Tower Semiconductor Partnership appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Quick Summary Shares of Lightwave Logic (LWLG) climbed as much as 30% during premarket hours Thursday following news of a silicon photonics collaboration with Tower Semiconductor (TSEM). Under the agreement, LWLG’s electro-optic polymer modulator technology will be incorporated into Tower’s PH18 silicon photonics process design kit. The technology targets ultra-high bandwidths exceeding 110GHz, enabling 200G and 400G modulator configurations. Engineering tapeouts scheduled for 2026 will test and confirm performance specifications for artificial intelligence infrastructure applications. This partnership comes after LWLG’s collaboration with Luceda Photonics and SilTerra, while Tower recently announced its own Nvidia tie-up for 1.6Tbps optical solutions. Lightwave Logic (LWLG) shares were already on fire Wednesday, climbing more than 15% to settle at $5.02 — marking the stock’s strongest performance in over five months. But Thursday morning brought even more excitement. Lightwave Logic, Inc., LWLG The semiconductor technology firm unveiled a development partnership with Tower Semiconductor (TSEM), triggering an immediate market reaction. LWLG shares rocketed up to 30% during premarket hours. The agreement focuses on incorporating Lightwave Logic’s electro-optic polymer modulator technology into Tower’s PH18 silicon photonics process design kit (PDK). These advanced modulator designs are engineered for bandwidths exceeding 110 gigahertz.
