You got that right Dwag, hope you're well and those calls will be just fine....
Didn't realize you posted the news release a few minutes prior to me, lol.. all good.
KCCO, is this what Dr. Lebby was saying in some of his statements from the May ASM, that polymers are likely to completely replace the silicon semiconductor industry? Hmmmm.
I think Killer is saying that a company that is dying doesn't go out and spend more of its money to die quicker. They must KNOW that money is coming around sooner than later to support the purchase (or they're going to pay for it some other way).
How much is this costing?? We should get an 8K (I think) along with this shortly.
The advanced fabrication processes of ALD with temperatures below 100C will solidify the company's market position with both the company's manufacturing foundry partners as well as end-users as it prepares to enter the 800Gbps integrated photonics marketplace.
Solidify = What does it mean to solidify something?
: to make solid, compact, or hard. : to make secure, substantial, or firmly fixed. factors that solidify public opinion. intransitive verb. : to become solid, compact, or hard.
Looks like 2 things sealing the chip with ALD (without a Gold Box), Pumkin knows how we used to hammer Lumera on that one. It just was not practical.
What I find interesting is it almost sounds like they will be able to Lase on the polymer because I did not hear InP. If so Lightwave is moving to all plastic. But first, Ho Hum, Silicon and InP.
"as it prepares to enter the 800Gbps integrated photonics marketplace"
We are getting bought out.

"Silicon's key drawback is that it cannot emit laser light, and so the lasers that drive optical communications have been made of more exotic materials such as indium phosphide and gallium arsenide."
I am VERY intrigued by this. If LWLG is combining an organic integrated laser and amplifier with its organic modulators all in one package…
Wow.
Lol, some just don't get it, Slim.
Huh, "if a company has concerns about its strength.."??? This is "additive" and geometric to Lightwave's existing proprietary polymers strength. Don't confuse this with the old Microsoft buyout of competing technologies for DOS and they burying that innovation. Dr. Lebby is creating a MASSIVE MOAT. EOM
KC... He really does understand LWLG, because he's a "Paid-2-Poster" :)
Click 2 Understand
There is a downloadable paper at this link that describes a process:
Bam, see attached post.
X
Yes indeed, nicely concealed in the PR: 800 Gbps.
Proto, what the Fab Four Fakers don't understand, is that this is just as important as getting a Foundry PDK in place. This provides a key element to a more robust ramp up into mass commercialization. The FFF can't handle the truth! or maybe, just don't have the intellect to comprehend???
The question now is how much did this cost to acquire? Was this who LWLG make the loan to a month or 2 ago? Did LWLG use the shelf as part of this acquisition or has the stock been diluted to generate the funds needed?
Dr.Lebby did mention that they were making use of the shelf.... I'm guessing this is part of how they are making use of it but isn't it typical that a company would include a cost of acquisition in an announcement like this?
Good news in my opinion though in general..... if a company has concerns about its strength or position the last thing it starts doing is buying other companies or their technology.
KCC said, OFC 2023 in March we will see an 800G transceiver demo that is powered by LWLG modulators.
Spot on call brother!!!
Lebby has been telegraphing this to investors for some time, and there have been literally TONS of conditional Deals put in place over the last handful of years, it's TIME for the Tier 1's to meet THEIR conditions of these NDA'd Agreements!!!
YEE HAW!!!!
Can you elaborate proto?
This isnt the “update” - that will be results with a couple foundries before eoy
Nothing like Lebby's deep contacts and relationships with the photonics industry/universities in his mother country United Kingdom!
This looks to me as an extension of organic materials from the modulator, transceiver further into the inter chip and chip to chip communication, optical I/O solutions i.e. using light to make the processor and memory chips talk to each other inside the server. It will speed up the AI and High Power Compute industries, which will also result in the need for more transceivers to send that increased data between the servers and server racks. This is a huge step ( if my interpretation is correct). It could make Lightwave a formidable competitor for the likes of Intel, Ayar to name two of the many semi conductor companies. This would be a strategic business move to complete Polymer dominance along the I/O product chain.
HUGE HUGE HUGE NEWS!!!
I was waiting for this one to be come home!!!
YEE HAW!!!!!!
I’m calling it right here.
OFC 2023 in March we will see an 800G transceiver demo that is powered by LWLG modulators.
Lightwave Logic Acquires Polymer Technology and Intellectual Property Assets of Chromosol Ltd (UK)
Assets Include a Critical Manufacturing Process for Foundry Process Development Kits (PDKs)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced that it has acquired the polymer technology and intellectual property assets of Chromosol Ltd (UK).
This acquisition significantly strengthens the company's design capabilities with foundry PDKs with extremely low temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes that effectively hermetically seal polymer devices that have been prepared for high volume manufacturing. The advanced fabrication processes of ALD with temperatures below 100C will solidify the company's market position with both the company's manufacturing foundry partners as well as end-users as it prepares to enter the 800Gbps integrated photonics marketplace.
The acquisition also advances Lightwave Logic's patent portfolio of electro-optic polymer technology with an innovative polymer chemistry device patent1 that has potential to increase the performance of integrated modulators through optical amplification in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and enhance the functionality of the PIC by integrating laser light sources made using the polymer-based gain and a laser optical cavity defined on the Silicon photonic platform, with Lightwave Logic's high speed, high efficiency modulators.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, said: "Chromosol's' polymer technology and intellectual property patent dovetails well with Lightwave Logic's development of a polymer platform that not only enables 'green photonics' - but is foundry compatible with manufacturing PDKs. Having access to extremely low temperature ALD allows the company's polymer modulators to be protected from the environment without the need of expensive and large footprint gold box packaging, propelling the company forward with chip-scale packaging as required by major hyper-scaler end-users. The patent opens a new class of PICs which expands our variety of devices.
"What is more interesting is that every foundry we have visited has ALD systems and equipment in place for semiconductor processing. This acquisition for low temperature ALD processes provides a key piece of the PDK that we need when working with foundries for our polymers, and allows us to achieve our goals more effectively," concluded Lebby.

You clearly don’t understand.
I agree. I also think this goes to show "we" have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. I for one think this was way out of left field in a great way. I truly don't have a grasp on how big of a role this company is going to have in transforming what we know today in data transfer. Hold on to your fing seat boys and girls

Building a MASSIVE MOAT! Good bye shorties soon!
Not the news needed. The material is obviously not good enough and the science is not complete.
We were told for nearly 3 decades perk did not need to be hermetically sealed. This is more can kicking and evidence the PDK is not complete.
Move the goalposts…

This is great news in my opinion.
Sounds like we are still acquiring the pieces to finish this puzzle. Not the BIG news we are all expecting for an end of the year celebration.
LR, if I could prove anything one way or the other good or bad I wouldn’t be agnostic on the issue. If you could prove one way or the other you would be able to convince me.
So you are relying on faith and hope while I am just saying I don’t know yet.
I will take it !! But we need the beef !!
Come on Dr Lebby . It’s news time !!!
Thanks, Guys take your time and look at every slide closely it is GREAT!
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/307dbc8b-e212-48ba-9968-8cef3f6b5188/c9226a1a-6cbb-d70b-71a5-a3f06ed3a15d?origin=2
We got this.
Rearranging the portfolio today take some losses review the tax thing, most likely will buy a few more if the shorts give them to me.
Xster I forgot how good that was.
I'll take one snip from your reply.
You only will believe when the facts are there to see.
So I quote:
Some "Partication trophies" are worth more than others, I guess?
The cart before the horse payments may not actually be bonuses but legal funds?
One logical approach is to go long the stock with a realistic investment horizon that makes this day to day banter meaningless, and without worry about decay of your time bound, zero sum game options.
I own part of this company is a good way to look at it if you are long the stock.
A good interview/review from a few months ago with Dr. Lebby I'm sure several of us have heard already regarding optical transport, light switching, etc. but for those who haven't or those who want a review here you go.

Woop proly bot Loenberger shares last year? Ewwww, so honored.
His bod experience is what taught him so well to take advantage of the suckered shareholder (as in woop...)?
I guess you can say almost a decade after 5 years?
LWLG is in great shape financially so taking a short position here is very risky. Of course Lebby must give something back to investors in the near future to keep optimism high.
Things that are totally unimportant
No matter how many times they are brought up
No matter what indecipherable language they are written in.
The long time chairman resigning from LWLG and his important Government job at the same time for personal reasons.
Unpaid board of director members selling long term options
About to expire that were up 2000 plus percent.
The most important employee, Dr. Michael Lebby, being paid
A bonus after the stock had appreciated over 2000 percent.
No matter how often mentioned.
No matter what language
These have zero importance.
Excuse me, but Lebby HAS BEEN HERE MANY YEARS, almost a DECADE NOW!!!!
Dr. Michael S. Lebby joined Lightwave Logic as a member of the Board of Directors in 2015. In May 2017, he assumed the role of CEO of the company. Dr. Lebby is an Anglo-American entrepreneur and intrapreneur in the fields of optoelectronics/photonics electronics and semiconductors. His career started with the British Government in 1977 in telecommunications and he did research at their prestigious labs (RSRE Malvern) in the early 1980s and worked at AT&T Bell Labs (1985-1989) in photonics. At Motorola in the 1990s he drove the development, including co-authorship of the first patent, of the oxide VCSEL diode laser which is now used in laser mice, 3D sensing/FaceID in mobile phones, optical interconnects with volumes over 1B units. From 2005-2010 he led the USA trade association in optoelectronics (OIDA) and represented the optoelectronics industry on Capitol Hill. He has run technical start-ups and commercialized optoelectronic and photonics technology into manufacturing. He was voted PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) business leader of the year by the PIC International Conference in 2018. He is a technical expert to the European Commission and a Fellow of IEEE and OSA.
Excuse me, but Lebby has not been here MANY YEARS. He has, however, enriched himself via HIS WORDS during those years and let's hope he and his cohort coo don't need all that HUGE CASH TAKE used for the legal battles that potentially loom?
Too FUNNY!!! just have a look at the MILLIONS OF SHARES Lebby and Marcelli have been sitting on for MANY YEARS!!!!!!
see p23 here
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1325964/000155335022000365/lwlg_14a.htm
Folks, the PPS came from sub $1.00 and the Insiders have had an eternity of TIME to unload shares between $12 and $20 and it ain't happening!!! Why??? Because they all know we are sitting on a GOLDMINE!!!
Volume Scale with Silicon Foundries with Timelines >>> Results >>> 2 Foundries 2H22 >>> 3 Foundries 2H22 to 1H23
so to me this slide clearly is saying LWLG will be getting PDK's completed that enable mass production at somewhere between TWO and FIVE Foundries by the end of 2022
so very soon Shorts will be heading for the exits just like little cockroaches do when the LIGHT is switched on!!! And with 20 million borrowed shares to cover it will be a tight SQUEEZE for them all to get through before the PPS hits new highs!!
BUY BUY BUY!!!!
SO CHEAP HERE!!!!!
Thank you, a serious post would point to CASH THEFT and that didn't occur.
Lebby bot NO MORE...imo, a sad excuse for another dumb move...

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.
Lightwave Logic’s patent portfolio covers the following areas:
The company continuously seeks to innovate new electro-optic chromophores, designing molecular architectures to meet application needs such as high electro-optic activity and stability.
