LWLG Eliminates Power Hungry & Expensive Driver Chip!!!
Lebby quote came from the Wall Street Transcript Interview (TWST) with Dr. Lebby - August 17, 2023
TWST: So you’re looking at value pricing, where the part might be more expensive, but you’re providing more performance and using less power, and as a result it’s going to be less expensive.
Dr. Lebby: Also, you’re saving the customer architectural IC designs. You don’t need driver chips and they are really expensive, way more than what a device would cost. And so, you’re providing that advantage to network operators.

What Lebby told investors in that interview is that the cost of the device, ie the 4x200 PIC Modulator Array chip is LESS than the cost of the Driver(s) that it ELIMINATES!!! And folks, LWLG's technology is the ONLY Next-Gen technology that CAN ELIMINATE the Driver(s)!!!!
Also let's not forget that the Driver(s) is/are power hungry, I know when I asked Bard it responded that it accounted for 40% of the power usage on 8x100 800Gbs and perhaps that is/was high but regardless the Driver(s) is/are known as being a big power user in the Transceiver so if you can eliminate the Driver(s) you are saving a lot of power!!
So what's that worth to the Transceiver companies? you guessed it.... A WHOLE LOT!!!
with Cisco, Intel, Google, Ciena as LWLG Customers I wouldn't want to be stuck holding the Old Maid "Short" card when Lebby drops additional Licensing and Tech Transfer Agreements in 2024!!
there are 22 Million++ Shorts holding that Old Maid card currently!!
TWST: Do you see your ideal customers like Cisco or whoever makes these particular modulation devices? Are they the ones who are going to buy?
Dr. Lebby: Yes, they will — a lot of these larger companies. The Ciscos of this world as well as the Intels and the Cienas, these types of players, Googles and others. A lot of these folks are actually vertically integrated. So they actually do a lot of the things themselves. And some of the parts they send out to foundries or to contract manufacturers.

Folks, these are pretty bold statements by Lebby, and Lebby is one of the top Luminaries of the photonics Industry, personally I would NOT want to bet against him!!!
Investors have learned INCREDIBLE Developments in 2024 so far!!! here is a summary of things investors have learned form OFC in March 2024, and Lebby's LD Micro Interview in April, as well as Lebby's Belgium visit/presentations in April
1) Lebby has LWLG modulators being implemented at SEVERAL large Foundries on 200mm Wafers now beginning in early 2024!! Lebby declared it a "BIG MILESTONE"!!!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174278606
2) Lebby has achieved Volume Scale Poling on 200mm Wafers!!! (successfully able to Pole Thousands of Devices at a time!!)
3) Lebby's LWLG team of seven completed demonstrations at OFC to over 20 potential Customers!! NDA's now estimated at 40 companies
4) the response to the OFC demos has been so overwhelming that Lebby claims the Tier 1's "being PULLED along" has become more like "being dragged along" (a good problem to have!!!)
Spekkie posted this
, Important take away we are working with multiple tier ones, tripled since a few weeks after OFC , wow we are golden
5) The Customer Funnel slide is updated and now showing greater than 20 Prospects and greater than 10 Leads, where in the ASM presentation it was only greater than 12 Prospects and 5 Leads, so about DOUBLED since the ASM!!!!
6) at OFC Google had a shout out to (LWLG) EOP on their slide for hetero integration.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174276893
7) KCC reported "the transceiver partner is a giant company that is dedicating a lot of their own resources to LWLG’s development."
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174279401
8) Lebby also showcased that LWLG's Perk 6 is NOW ready and available for Licensing !!!
9) Lebby reported that 3rd party ETH Zurich set world record performance with LWLG Polymers running at 400Gbs per lane enabling 4 lane 1600gbs!!! This ensures LWLG ALREADY capable to meet the future Roadmap
10) The response from the Tier 1's is so overwhelming such that Lebby is 100% focused on SEVERAL Tier 1's who are battling it out for Lebby/LWLG's time and attention to bring 4x200 powered Transceivers to market ASAP!!
Folks this is a Cinderella story 40 years in the making!!!
For OVER 40 YEARS the Industry has tried UNSUCCESSFULLY!!
IBM, Intel, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, DuPont, AT&T Bell Labs, Honeywell, Motorola, GE, HP, 3M, and others in addition to numerous Universities and U.S. Government Agencies, DARPA, DOD, etc have all attempted to produce high-performance, high-stability electro-optic polymers
The Industry combined has spent literally in the Billions R&D $$ UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to do what LWLG has done!
LWLG's technology has been successfully developed in much less time than what the Industry spent, and at a cost less than 5% of what the Industry spent screwing around with unstable fragile molecules for 40 years!
RIDDLE ME THIS >> WHY WOULD THE INDUSTRY SPEND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF $$ ON SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DESPERATELY WANT???????
LD MICRO REPLAY NOW AVAILABLE!!!!
https://ldinv14.sequireevents.com/recording?session_id=7c04c9bb-df53-4ece-9dce-3d27956fe60e
In short: reliability testing is no more a concern for the tier 1´s
https://stocktwits.com/JoeriGoethuys/message/570255316
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he (Lebby) clearly said that everything was ready (stability, scaling etc) and the time line was fully intact and there were no changes to that. Tier 1’s are very interested and the number of them significantly increased after OFC demo’s.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174302051
The fact that the reliability testing is no longer a concern for the Tier 1's to do business with LWLG is HUGE HUGE HUGE, this has been the #1 issue that has plagued Polymer commercialization for its 40 year history!! And yes I have confirmation from multiple sources that this is truly the case now!! Investors already had known how ironclad the data had become from the recent presentations slides presented at ECOC in late 2023 and then again even more so at the OFC in March 2024!!!
Lebby LD Micro was an incredible presentation using these Slides, here were my takeaways, the replay should be available soon
1) ETH Zurich has set independent 3rd party world record performance with LWLG Polymers running at 400Gbs per lane enabling 4 lane 1600gbs!!!
2) The Customer Funnel slide is updated and now showing greater than 20 Prospects and greater than 10 Leads, where in the ASM presentation it was only greater than 12 Prospects and 5 Leads, so about DOUBLED since the ASM!!!!
3) Lebby showed the 200mm wafers and talked again how LWLG is commercial ready for mass commercialization of 800gbs, remember Lebby has LWLG implementing at SEVERAL large Foundries!!
4) Lebby showed that Perk 6 is NOW ready for Licensing !!!
5) Lebby expects much more Licensing activity in 2024 forward
6) Lebby again pounded the table on the "ease of Integration" and how you simply drop the LWLG technology into those little pluggable boxes!!
7) Lebby also said that the PULL has become so great at this point instead of being "pulled along" it feels more like we are being "dragged along"!!
The April 2024 Investor Slides are up on the LWLG website, here
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/307dbc8b-e212-48ba-9968-8cef3f6b5188/683426d1-5a08-bc3a-6df3-ce127bd5ef17?origin=2
Replays become available around a week after the event as the videos require editing in some cases and also the uploading process takes some time.
Once available, you will see the "replay" button next to the company name in the agenda at https://ldinv14.sequireevents.com/.
Thanks,

Don't try to sell yourself, then folks may believe you. Lead from the front, the next dishonest dollar I make will be my first.
As always make them successful, then you will have actual weight in what you say. We are not always right but honestly is the best policy. Never take advantage of anyone.
TH, for shame don't loose your
standing, whatever. I'd be ashamed.
X
I'm not sure about your lifestyle, but whatever floats your boat. I'm not here to make a judgment. Hey, if anyone is happy to make $20k a year, they are most certainly welcome in my circle, and welcome in my home, 100%, and honestly, they are the best human beings you will ever meet. Nothing to prove to anyone and smarter than those who look down on them. Honest, honest, money is just something to do.
X everyone has their definition of sucess, would you like to visit? Gold, silver is up, chase it... If you come just bring your coveralls because we will have some real fun, that is what real life is. Honest.
All I have to say is that I'm not selling a service of anything. So, yep, I also used to work for someone who paid me enough not to try and sell their success to others. I made my dough. Its just the success of other,s, Not me, I don't try to project that but, um
you do. So you are saying that the direct sucess was you? If true then just work your brilliance. It is not rocket science. But apparently not, or your magic would work..... so you don't have enough money yet? Weird.
Does it make sense?
X. Good luck, you will only be successful selling to others who believe that you are responsible for that success.
Sorry, man. Good luck jumped in the wrong boat.
How about my small wager?
If you are successful, then why are you here, make sense? 80% of the owners of this equity know me.
Investors now know that LWLG has its 200Gb/lane Polymer modulator Product ready for mass production at SEVERAL LARGE FOUNDRIES on 200mm Wafers, and as Lebby has already told investors "our technology fits really uniquely into Silicon Foundries and WE CAN SCALE INTO VOLUME QUITE EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY",
Knowing these FACTS I believe it is time to revisit what I learned from Bard about LWLG relationships with Foundries, which was subsequently scrubbed from the Databases Bard was able to access at that time!! Today I asked Bard this question
at one point you revealed the specific Foundries that were working with Lightwave Logic and what exactly they were working on in terms of specific PDK's, more recently when asked the same question you only responded with Foundries likely to be working with Lightwave Logic on PDK developments and cite NDA's saying that the specific information you gave me previously was not available due to the NDA's, why?
Bard/Gemini reply, Model Update: It's possible that the underlying data used to train my model was updated, and the information about specific foundries and PDKs is no longer included due to confidentiality agreements (NDAs). Large language models are constantly being updated and improved, and this can sometimes lead to changes in the information they have access to.
I believe that my original inquiry of Bard which I will repost here is SPOT ON so much so that the information was quickly scrubbed from the Databases Bard had access to at that time!! here,
Google's Bard_AI knows which Foundries have LWLG PDK's developed!!! here are a series of images I received back from an inquiry to Bard (Google's AI product) regarding the Foundries that LWLG is currently working with on PDK development for their Polymers, view all nine captures and learn the truth from the AI world!!

And for the record I asked Google's Bard to confirm for me that NLM ("the competition") is actually just a myth and they are know where near any sort of volume commercialization with ANY Foundries!!
NLM >> https://postimg.cc/Yh1phF9c
Ok, so there you have it folks, the veil has been lifted!!!! LWLG is going to begin it's Mass Commercialization in the very Near-Term just as Lebby has told investors!!!
"It's REAL and it's HAPPENING!!!"
"When this rolls it's going to roll!!"
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171906154&txt2find=bard%20foundries
Foundries Volume Scaling Achieved!! Lebby said "BIG MILESTONE!!"
Lebby told investors in the Dec 4th 2023 letter "and I look forward to sharing exciting new milestones during the balance of this year and in the next year to come."
In the Benzinga interview Lebby shared a newly achieved BIG MILESTONE!!! That milestone is LWLG's ability to NOW be able to SCALE VOLUME PRODUCTION!!!!
Folks this is HUGE and it was obviously only achieved in either January or February of 2024 since the 4th Quarter 2023 Update letter did NOT say that the SCALING AT VOLUME milestone had been achieved yet!!!
In the Benzinga interview, listen to what Lebby told investors in terms of scaling LWLG modulators to HIGH VOLUME!!
"in terms of working with the Big Foundries we actually have modulators on 200mm wafers, 8" across, this is the Standard size that Foundries use, this is a BIG MILESTONE, this means we can scale our technology quickly and efficiently in volume"
let me repeat that!!! Lebby said this was a BIG MILESTONE!!!

The need for Lightwave Logic’s proprietary electro-optic polymers is more evident than at any prior point in history, with internet infrastructure coming under increasing strain due to increased online activity. For example, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, leading platforms such as YouTube prevented high-definition (HD) streaming in Europe due to data throughput issues in existing internet infrastructure.
The Company’s current focus is on the datacom and telecommunications hardware supply chain for the 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps fiber optics communications market, seeking to integrate its proprietary materials into the devices that comprise key components in today’s internet infrastructure. Lightwave Logic’s unique value proposition, including ease of manufacture relative to traditional solutions, has driven several tier-1 and tier-2 potential strategic partners in the data and telecommunications markets to enter into non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with Lightwave Logic to evaluate its technology for use in their devices, validating the demand for the Company’s solution in the marketplace. The Company expects to introduce its technology into the commercial marketplace in the near future.
Lightwave Logic is a wholly U.S.-based company with in-house materials synthesis, device/package design, wafer fabrication and testing capabilities at its Englewood, Colorado headquarters.
Having the modulator and integrated circuit development in-house has informed the materials development direction and vice versa. This vertically integrated business model enables a superior platform by aligning the design for manufacturability from materials to complex circuits with the following benefits:
Materials are called electro-optic when they enable interactions between applied electric fields and light passing through them. Notably, they change the refractive index seen by the light with minimum loss. The result is an instantaneous and accurate conversion of an electrical signal to an optical signal. Optical signals are better for transmission over distance: an increasingly useful feature as digital signal speeds are now reaching the GHz and THz ranges and the corresponding electrical transmission distances are shrinking to meters and centimeters.
EO polymers are intrinsically superior in speed and sensitivity to electric field to traditional electro-optic materials such as Lithium Niobate, Indium Phosphide and Silicon. They are engineered materials, made by embedding a variety of specially designed electro-optic chromophore molecules into a wide range of standard host polymers.
Chromophores are complex, large molecules, on a scale akin to drug molecules. They are hyperpolarizable, meaning their electron clouds are easily pulled into a different shape by the applied electric field, changing their optical properties such as index of refraction.
The material is poled to become electro-optic by applying a strong electric field along with heat. The hot material is relatively soft, allowing the chromophore molecules suspended in the host polymer to align in the same direction (poling). Cooling the poled material after the molecules are in place traps them in their active state even after the poling field is removed.
Although the electrons in the material respond to any applied electric field, they remain tightly bound to the molecule. The response to an applied signal is almost instantaneous response and recovery– like that of a tight spring– unlike materials that involve much slower macroscopic movement of free electrons.
Another key difference from traditional crystalline materials is the performance of EO polymers continues to improve as chemists explore the almost unlimited design space. Combinations of chromophores and host polymers can be tailored for specific applications.
In addition to innovating the EO polymer materials, Lightwave Logic takes its technology platform to the next level by developing ancillary materials and processes. These elements are brought together and demonstrated in advanced high-speed optical modulators.
The polymer is spun onto silicon wafers and standard microfabrication techniques are used to deposit and pattern metal electrodes and optical waveguides.
One well-known optical modulator device is the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light output is changed by changing the relative phase between the two arms. One common trick to double the effect for the same available drive voltage is to drive the two arms in opposite directions (push-pull mode). Polymers have an interesting advantage over most other electro-optic materials which are crystalline. The direction of polymer’s electro-optic activity is entirely determined by the direction of the applied poling field. By poling the two arms of the Mach-Zehnder in opposite directions, the resulting device automatically has push-pull operation with a single applied signal.
Once the modulator chip is made, it is packaged for mechanical protection and also to ensure signal quality for electrical and optical connections.
Below is a polymer optical modulator with >60 GHz bandwidth packaged with high-speed electrical connectors and optical pigtails.
Inspired by the remarkable record of integrated microelectronics, the opto-electronics industry has great interest in developing photonic integrated circuits (PICS). Photonics refers to devices that manipulate photons—that is, light—rather than electrons.
Even the best individual devices can be made more functional by integrating many together. Integration has many benefits, the most notable being dramatic improvements in size and cost. Yet, photonic integration has only recently come into the spotlight. The primary applications for photonics used to require stand-alone, high performance components such as used for long-haul telecom.
Now, photonic integration has suddenly come into the spotlight as electronic interconnects struggle to keep up with speed increases of electronic chips. Photonics is being looked at to replace electronics in already highly integrated applications such as chip interconnect. Co-packaging of electronics integrated circuits (ICs) with photonic interconnect, considered unlikely a few years ago, is now viewed by many as inevitable. However, this requirement poses new challenges that are acknowledged as difficult and that new technologies will be required to meet them.
P2IC™ (Polymer Photonic Integrated Circuits) are ideally positioned to be one of these new technologies. Lightwave Logic’s devices are made using conventional wafer-scale processing such as used for microelectronics and therefore similarly capable of being integrated. In addition, the polymer microfabrication processes are compatible with other materials platforms such as Silicon Photonics and Indium Phosphide which are now starting to become more integrated. In particular, the Silicon Photonics ecosystem has recently accepted that its roadmap will include adding more and more materials, each for their specific benefits. EO polymers’ speed and voltage advantages are attractive additions to this ecosystem.
A fiber link sends data from a transmitter to a receiver through an optical fiber cable. Lightwave Logic’s technology can be used to make a data modulator, a central function of the transmitter.
Datacenters and high-performance computing (HPC) are two market segments that demand the very highest speed optical fiber communications. The datacenter fiber communications segment includes applications ranging from connections inside hyperscale datacenters to fiber links between datacenter campuses.
Optical fiber communication is the infrastructure that supports internet content through its entire lifecycle, between businesses, consumers and datacenters. Behind the scenes, massive amounts of data move between computer processors inside datacenters (or inside supercomputers) as content is generated. In addition to these intra-datacenter links, there are also significant datacenter interconnection links between big datacenters to provide flexible capacity and resilience – all of these represent significant addressable market segments for Lightwave Logic’s technology.
Modulator performance limits the speed of the transmitter, which in turn limits the data-carrying capacity of the entire fiber link. EO polymers have superior speed and sharply reduce the electrical power needed to operate the modulators.
Lightwave Logic estimates that in 2019, the total market for opto-electronic components used in the fiber optics market reached a value of ~$26 billion and is forecasted to grow to approximately $80 billion by 2030.
Above: Market forecasts for photonic (electro-optic) components and transceivers used in optical fiber communications. (Source: Oculi LLC)
The growth in the optical fiber communications market is driven by many factors, primarily:
The historic trend has been a migration from text to graphics, followed by still graphics to increasingly high-definition video. On the accessibility front, the introduction of 5G will enable low-cost mobile internet connections at the same, or higher speeds, as today’s home broadband. This trend continues today as users demand more data at all times.
Recently, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp increase in reliance on video-conferencing services, often replacing in-person meetings. As video conferencing becomes more commonly used, users will continue to demand faster response times to enable no-lag, real-time communications in full HD.
The benefits of EO polymers, such as low power usage, high speed, increased throughput and lower cost make them ideally suited for markets outside of communications as well, including in consumer, media, augmented reality/virtual reality, medical and industrial applications.
Developing, protecting and commercializing intellectual property is central to Lightwave Logic’s identity as a technology company. Lightwave Logic has over 50 U.S. and international patents and applications that are issued or pending.
These patents provide freedom of manufacture for the company’s electro-optic (EO) polymer materials systems and its optical device technology.
