Two observations from the Lebby/Pozo lab interview.
Pumpkin colored flask of Perkinamine, behind Lebby on the table. Could be a homage to someone we know.
I have an almost identical crock pot in my corner cabinet.
Go LWLG!
So you boys and girls feel we have something good on the horizon???
You are doing the right thing.
Just like he and Gumby got us on the NAS knowing that this stock had no business being there unless Gumby could hand LPC shares on a silver platter. Pinocchio does not want to spend money promoting the stock but has no issue taking a multi- million dollar bonus from a pre-revenue company.
He is a F****in joke as a CEO.
Why is it clear ??
Great move ! Better than this dog
OT: Followed POET for long time never did what I did on LWLG, but in December 2023 finally bought 30,000 shares when it came down around $1.00.
Poet is up 1.20 !!
Absolutely clear that we are on the brink of break out! Ubiquitous! Tier1!deal(s) around the corner, more verticals, cracked the polymer code, scaling no problem, dozens of companies (among tier1 and tier 2), cracked energy consumption problem, solved cooling issues, small, fast, easy to implement, etc etc!
Go Lightwave Go
LWLG board #1 with over 3 MILLION views. Making IHUB run slow.
KC, I respect your take on things and suppose you could be correct on this topic. With that said, this non-techie is still betting on Lightwave to win the Cup. It's okay to lose a few races getting there.....
Smittty, your pessimism amuses me. I suppose another blue ribbon is better than a pair of blue ba..s. I continue to believe we just might be on the verge of something great here. I think it's probably best to take it kinda slow, to maximize the eruption. If things go too fast, we could experience a premature emancipation or something like that. LOL! Putting you back on that iggy thing for now...
Your ship is sinking... Better start bailing water...you only have 23 million buckets to go🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Carl,
I am expecting POET to win the Optical Integration award and then LWLG will win a post-deadline award.
They should not have lumped Hybrid PIC and Optical Integration into the same category for an award. LWLG would of course win Hybrid PIC and POET would of course win Optical Integration. That's what they each do. POET has had enough news this year that justifies recognition at ECOC. LWLG has been dead silent.
Now...while I appreciate POET's technology and it definitely is innovative and it works...I am not nearly as bullish on the investment thesis there. FYI...today's move in that stock is a result of another YouTube pump. Cost POET $50,000 for this video and the original video a few months ago that triggered the initial run cost almost $25,000. I asked Lebby if they would consider something like this and he immediately declined and said he's not going to pay for shareholders and create a pump and dump.
Nibbled today. Have to believe we have to be close to Tier one deal. Great affirmation today from Polariton. Think it can only be a very short period of time from here. Continuing to hold and accumulate. I just don’t post hardly at all anymore.
Best to the longs,
F2
Winner as in another blue ribbon ?? Wow
From Polariton on LinkedIn less than 15 minutes ago:
"Great endorsement received today from Michael Lebby during the market focus talk at hashtag#ecoc2024. While the industry is ramping 200G per lane, the enabling technology for 400G per lane is well on its way. Electro-optic polymer modulators display exceptional eye diagrams with minimal use of signal processing, promising for data transmission with reduced power dissipation. This is possible thanks to the flat electro-optic bandwidth of such photonic integrated circuits. Reach out with hashtag#Polariton at booth F47."
https://www.linkedin.com/company/polariton-technologies/posts/?feedView=all
The conference is over for today. It is around 6:45 PM Frankfurt time as I write this. If you use LinkedIn, keep an eye on it this week. I HIGHLY doubt we'll get to see Lebby's presentation from today online anytime soon, if ever. ECOC might still post a brief interview with Lebby post-conference today though. Tomorrow should be interesting. I believe ECOC will be announcing the Award winners, and I'm pretty sure Lightwave has that in the bag. I'll be shocked if POET wins.

Keep an eye on Jose Pozo too. He's pretty good about providing timely updates on his LinkedIn profile:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/josepozophotonics/
Jose has thousands and thousands of views on Linkedin
but hey, you guys know better....
so telling....
Confused. Are you saying, after we get very good news, the shorts want to sell, half a million shares, under three?
What time is he speaking eastern time??
I'm showing the shorts loaded for bear today wirh 500k putting it at 23m. I haven't looked in a few days.
Might get a decent chance to buy.
X
Pretty lame production crew for sure
12 years old can make better youtube promo vids then this laurel and hardy crap.
I think if you don’t buy shares now or cover your short position you must’ve lost your mind!!!
Oh boy, is this the 5 millionth "Shorts better watch out! Shorts are screwed! This time it's for real!!!!!!!" message on this board?
It will age about as well as all the "LWLG is going to make the biggest announcement in its history within the next 90 days, mark this post!!!!!" messages that have been posted - apparently without embarrassment - by the cheerleaders for nearly a decade.
Let's revisit this post in 3 months to see how well it aged. (Spoiler alert: not very well).
It would have been nice if Pincchio and Gumby would have shown the lab team at their places working. Instead a creepy looking Jose entering the building to have some alone time with the Klingon and Gumby filming this interlude for his collection. Kind of like the P. Diddy tapes.
Please someone make a bid for this farce and investors can get their money back. Maybe X can buy them out with his vast riches.
What an achievement! After 25 years they have 3 different colors.
If Polariton is sampling their 400Gbps MRRs, they must have their manufacturing foundry or foundries lined up. I believe they do their own packaging.
They are offering both O-band and C-band wavelengths. The O-band gets them into the data centers with a fast, low power and very small size offering. It is a perfect compliment to LWLG's plan to focus manufacturing on the greater than 10km market for modulators.
Maybe Polariton's announcement will light a fire under other partners to come out and announce their plans.
Guess that monumental speech has come and gone.
I think if anybody i going to buy LWLG, it's going to be Dupont.
LWLG, Polariton & ETH_Zurich just upstaged & leapfrogged the entire ECOC event with today's release!!! World class performance attributes and ready for SAMPLING in October 2024!!!! Folks you can't make this sh!t up!!!! The rest of the Industry is getting ready to showcase their 800gbs devices which will ALL be using legacy technology InP EML's which means they will all be CONSUMING HIGH POWER and will come NOWHERE CLOSE to the attributes of these 400Gb standalone devices for 4 Lane1.6T and 3.2T Transceivers by Polariton using LWLG materials!!!
GAME OVER!!!! LWLG JUST LEAPFROGGED THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY!!!!!
Polariton News Release 400gb MRR's Using LWLG Materials for 1.6T Transceivers with World Class Specs!!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175122208
this is concrete proof that LWLG materials can fix MRR issues and therefore the Intel/Ayars NDA connection should be a slam dunk!!
Intel/Ayars/Tower - there are white papers proving that EOP can overcome the challenges of silicon MRR's which without the Polymer spin coating each require their own special Heater IC's
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174277053&txt2find=intel%2Fayar
No news Monday !! Great
Wow... Different coloured perkamine. Amazing. Great work.
Ha!! Too funny!! 2024 Customer Acceptance and Ramp!!!!!
1) Lebby interview confirms LWLG now working with largest Transceiver companies in the world to integrate LWLG Polymer 200Gbs world class performance slot modulators!!!
Looks like Gumby is filming this crap.
Good interview. Lebby thinks he is close, (“the future”), is that 1 year or 5 years ? The market and stock price would suggest is further out. Time will tell.
Please realize Lightwave lifts the performances of:
1 Plasmonics Technology
2. Micro Ring Technology
3 Mach Zehnder Technology
Adds to the performance of silicon and indium phosphide materials
Covers 1310 and 1550nm wavelengths or data and telecom.
Sounds like Lwlg is on the way to ubiquity !
Jose Pozo on LinkedIn this morning:
Just wrapped up an insightful visit to Lightwave Logic, Inc. in Colorado! I had the distinct honour of being given a tour by Michael Lebby, a true photonics industry legend. As the Chairman and CEO of LightWave Logic and Optica’s Board Member and Chair of the Corporate Engagement Council, Michael’s leadership and vision were inspiring to witness firsthand.
During the visit, I delved into the complexities of organic polymer manufacturing for high-speed interconnects. The meticulous testing at ultrahigh speeds and the detailed reliability and lifetime measurements showcase why Lightwave Logic, Inc. Logic continues to push boundaries in next-gen photonics.
This visit also comes alongside two significant press releases from LightWave Logic:
On September 9, 2024, LightWave Logic announced the appointment of Thomas Connelly, Jr., former DuPont executive and CEO of the American Chemical Society, to their Board of Directors. His wealth of experience in materials science will help LightWave Logic expand into new verticals, such as aerospace, defense, and quantum/optical computing. https://lnkd.in/dfehi9bu
On July 23, 2024, Yves LeMaitre joined the Board with over 30 years of leadership in optical technology. His expertise will accelerate the company’s efforts in scaling their EO polymer platform, particularly in the rapidly growing AI and datacenter markets. https://lnkd.in/d5MDkpaV

Any of you short chumps, ever play dominoes…?
Ruud, I agree. It also sends a powerful message to both data -and telecom companies who are proceeding with their own complex, power hungry alternatives ( think indium phosphide). It also signals that Lightwave’s proprietary material is the big differentiator in this race for more bandwidth and low power.
My interpretation is that Polariton is given the primeur! Long existing relationship with record breaking cooperation! Nobody of tier1 and Tier2 can object to this. Waiting for more news to come of which a buy out attempt is not excluded in my opinion. Things can move fast!
Waiting for a Lightwave’s Tier 1 deal announcement in 2024, mass production of 800 G , 1.6 G PIC’s.
Polariton is a start up with powerful allies ( ETH Zürich, IBM, Nokia) but not a Tier 1.
Yesterday’s announcement and breakthrough achievement is using “ off-the- shelf” micro ring resonators.
The significance here is that it is Lightwave’s material that adds value and enables the breakthrough performance up to 145Ghz or 400 G per lane for both data com and telecom. Polariton is ready to take sampling orders. Big step forward and certainly ‘shocking’ many in the industry ( e.g. Coherent in telecom) . Another strong third party endorsement of Lightwave’s material capabilities.
Looking forward to more news. Lebby is ‘ on’ at 10.00 CET.
Great summary, clear and correct.
Adding additional point.when lwlg said commercialization to begin late 2023-2024
We now see that ONLY now is commercialization only beginning
Imo 1st now we see products ready and real test is how fast the orders will come in, price decline the past year , was that commercialization pr was a year too early.
Ai said this about the pr
### Who Is Polariton, and Can They Scale?
**Polariton Technologies** is a Swiss company specializing in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for high-bandwidth, low-power applications. Their strength lies in their expertise in combining silicon photonics with plasmonic active devices, which enable operation in the sub-THz regime. This technology positions them at the forefront of developing ultra-high-speed optical components.
In the larger industry picture, Polariton may not yet have the scale of established telecommunications giants like Ciena or Cisco, but they are carving out a significant role in specialized high-performance markets. Their ability to bring disruptive technology to products like 1.6T and 3.2T transceivers is notable. However, to impact the industry on a large scale, Polariton will need to expand its manufacturing capabilities, form more strategic partnerships, and address the aforementioned technical and market adoption challenges.
If they can effectively scale and demonstrate reliability and performance, Polariton's technology could play a significant role in the evolution of optical communications, especially for data centers, telecom networks, and quantum applications.

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.
