You really present yourself as a master expert in the photonics world. What are you doing here with such knowledge, expertise, and predictions? Could you please explain the differences of TFLN based on tests regarding Gbd, G, and voltage compared to LWLG as a competitor? How do you position LWLG in relation to other competitors? I actually don’t know who the competitors are. Could you give me all the comparisons in a nice overview? Photonics is being accepted in the market, and we are in the early stages of the transition.
What an amazing level of messages you have, I suspect that I'm the only one who hasn't put you on ignore yet. Which will happen after this one as well. It's painful to have to talk only to yourself
Newcomers, be alert for the false entities and fearmongers on this forum who broadcast red flags, claim that this is an internal lab experiment, or provide additional explanations that it cannot be scaled or implemented in foundries. An SEC filing gives you a clear answer. Do your research well and read these documents, instead of the posts from Pumpkin, TedPelee, Lurker, etc. They have only one objective: shorting! A measure of a successful implementation of a PDK is receiving a working (modulator) chip. See the statement below in the SEC filing:
"Our differentiation at the modulator device level is in higher speed, lower power consumption, simplicity of manufacturing, small footprint (size), and reliability. We have demonstrated higher speed and lower power consumption in packaged devices, and during 2023, we continued to make advances in techniques to translate our world class material properties to efficient, reliable modulator devices with commercial foundries. We are currently focused on testing and demonstrating the simplicity of manufacturability and reliability of our devices, including in conjunction with the silicon photonics manufacturing ecosystem. In 2023, we worked with silicon-based foundry partners to help scale in volume our polymer modulator devices and we received working modulator chips from these foundries. We have advanced and matured our interactions with our foundry partners and we continue to receive working modulator chips for prototyping. Silicon-based foundries are large semiconductor fabrication plants developed for the electronics IC business, that are now engaging with silicon photonics to increase their wafer throughput. Partnering with silicon-based foundries not only demonstrates that our polymer technology can be transferred into standard production lines using standard equipment, it also allows us to efficiently utilize our capital. The foundry partnerships will allow us to scale our high-performance polymer optical engines quickly and efficiently. We have now received silicon wafers that range up to 200mm in diameter, which aligns well with foundry manufacturing. Using 200mm silicon wafers, we showed packaged polymer modulators operating with open (clean) eye diagrams at 100GBaud PAM4 (or 200Gbps PAM4) at voltage drive levels at 1V at the 2024 Optical Fiber Conference in San Diego, California in March 2024 (“OFC 2024"). OFC is a leading international conference bringing together the complete value chain of fiber communications, datacentric, and telecommunications industrial players. We also showed polymer modulators with voltage drive levels that were below 1V. Driving voltage levels of around 1V is important as it allows our polymer modulators to be driven directly from CMOS ICs (as opposed to dedicated driver integrated circuit chips). This performance is ideal to enable 4 lanes at 200Gbps per lane pluggable transceivers that can operate at an aggregate data rate of 800Gbps. Since the invited talk at OFC 2024, a number of Tier 1 pluggable transceiver companies have both reviewed our technical results and viewed operating packaged polymer slot modulators at 200Gbps PAM4 with drive voltages at 1V."
The focus should now solely be on commercialization, and it has been demonstrated that the interest from TIER 1 parties is immensely high. An estimated market value of 150 billion in 2030 for photonics, energy consumption heading towards a crisis in 2030, better and faster solutions necessary in the sector, higher speeds, etc., etc. This technology is ready to conquer the world. The only question is when. Hopefully, we will soon see the commercial deal, and the shorters, distasteful accusations, and statements will disappear from this forum.
Don't be misled or frightened by the $100,000,000 issue. This is an application and an opportunity to raise additional capital for potential opportunities. It does not mean that they will immediately use it. Don't be deceived by the false entities on this forum who immediately claim that this will dilute the stock further.
Good day!
Steve,
It is not wrong to be critical or skeptical. However, considering Tedpelee as truthful here suggests you might not be as critical as you claim. It seems more likely that you got caught up in the hype (which not only affected LWLG but numerous companies that experienced unprecedented highs) and made poor decisions regarding buying and selling shares at the wrong times, leading to understandable frustrations. Be critical of entities on this forum that try to twist truths to their advantage. The communication from the management team and MZ group has been downright poor. There have been historically incorrect statements and promises, but look at the progress since 2017. In my view, Lebby’s mistake was sharing his enthusiasm too strongly with the public, creating overly high short-term expectations. Look around, everyone is talking about AI, soaring energy consumption, the shift to new technologies to optimize data centers, and photonics becoming the future. LWLG has once again been selected as the most innovative company, after setting world records and achieving outstanding results with their product. There's no way that TIER1 companies aren’t passing by Lebby to investigate this product. Whether they all will integrate it is the question, but the future is ahead of us. When? Hopefully very soon!
The news about the appointment of Yves LeMaitre, a renowned and respected figure in the industry and business, acts as a magnet for short-sellers. I see this more in terms of "defamation and slander" against him and the entire BOD of LWLG, without thorough reasons and evidence. The moderators should intervene more on this, but it seems to be tolerated in a deliberate way.
You don't need to be an expert in photonics to put all the facts together. Michael Lebby is dismissed as a liar and deceiver by the short-sellers. Lightwave Logic 2.0 made a restart with Dr. Lebby in 2017. May I draw your attention to the fact that this person outlined a roadmap in 2017 that predicted this AI boom? No one at the time realized what effect AI would have on our society. See below:
The energy consumption by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing rapidly (doubling every 3 months). According to some calculations, AI could consume twice as much energy as all of France by 2030. This not only has a significant climate impact now, but it also complicates the fight against climate change. All this additional demand for electricity makes it even more difficult, for example, to electrify transport as quickly as possible.
LWLG has a top product that can grow over decades (800, 1600, 3200, ...) in the photonics world. The entire sector is transitioning to this solution, which perfectly plays into the hands of LWLG. The product is compact, 10 times faster, and consumes 3 times less energy. The increase in interest and demand (20-25, including TIER1 companies at the OFC in March 2024) is proportional to the expansion of staff, lab space, etc.
I read an article yesterday about Broadcom (helping giants Google and Amazon with cloud solutions) which is also investing in this. It is predicted that the market has a value of 150 billion, with Broadcom dominating with a market share of 5-7 billion just for data centers.
LWLG aims to dominate this market. Assuming a very conservative 1% market share, the following numbers in a quick calculation speak volumes:
- Current value LWLG: $0.50B
- Market share: 1% : $1.50B (50% net : gross margin - overhead costs)
- PE ratio of tech stocks: 50
- Market value: $37.50B
- Outstanding shares: 120 million
- Share price: $300
May I point out the enormous potential? Look at where NVIDIA was in 2019 and where it is now?
The company has no debt and has $31.50 million in the bank (with minimal dilution, which is logical). The entire market is forced to switch due to the high energy consumption and AI boom, and there is massive interest from companies. AMF, which I believe is a start-up foundry, serves as a model to convince major Tier 1 companies that things are functional and operational.
Consider the entire energy crisis, demand, solutions, interest in LWLG, and the current shift of the sector towards photonics as one puzzle. In Zurich, it has been demonstrated that they have the best product. The major Tier 1 companies, aiming to catch up competitively (like Broadcom trying to catch up with NVIDIA), are showing interest. Michael Lebby is renowned in the sector. Will everyone choose LWLG? No, but they will all consider it when they switch. You always want the best product in your application. Hypothetically, if Broadcom wants to overtake NVIDIA competitively and they were to hypothetically collaborate with LWLG, it would make sense for them to take the lead, and LWLG would need to stay silent (NDA).
I have been personally attacked on this forum, and the moderators have not taken action or imposed restrictions on those individuals. However, you don't need to be a professor to put these elements together. Do your own research, read extensively, and don't be influenced by this forum, which is manipulated by short sellers.
The fact that you and Reanimator (+ other shorts) say this is absurd. You also have a certain intention without any research into the profile and responsibilities. The fact that you go out of your way to create negativity around this appointment only proves the opposite. Thank you very much. The more you post, the clearer and more positive everything becomes.
Can someone explain to me who appoints the moderators of this forum? How can a JPTLNG be a moderator here? He is obviously a short profile, steering this forum in favor of the shorters. The short accounts have blocked me to a maximum of one post per day. The critic in me has exposed the profiles and their intentions to drive down these shares with some facts and characteristics of manipulators. No personal attacks, just facts with sources. The truth came too close to how Tedpelee and Pumpkin operate. This is how they steer this entire forum. The clearest proof is that a Lurker is allowed to continue spreading pure nonsense without any evidence, constantly badmouthing the company. No intervention is made here? A Wooptoodoo calling the family and Lebby major frauds without any evident proof? A Pumpkin posing as a false expert? Tedpelee putting on a one-man show with multiple accounts to support his stories. A man who twists facts into his own interpretation and asks to refute them each time. Facts on paper, but a self-created truth considered as the truth. This is all tolerated, but someone critical of these people is banned. Of course, because they know that what is said about them is true. This forum is sick, manipulated, and disgusting. Newcomers, seek other sources to find truthful information
Photonics is gaining acceptance everywhere and is accelerating. (see link: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/TSMC-bets-on-silicon-photonics-to-enable-more-powerful-ChatGPT). How can you prove that this is still 10 years away from commercialization?
Built on Top of Silicon Photonics
Silicon photonics and plasmonics complement each other: given the right conditions, optical signals can be converted to plasmonic ones and vice versa. Therefore Polariton’s technology can be seamlessly integrated into the existing silicon photonics platform, either as post-processing, or integrated in the same production line. This is a game changer for the traditionally mediocre performance of silicon photonics modulators and expands the application range of plamonics to the world of silicon photonics.
(source: https://www.polariton.ch/resources/technology)
Have you already contacted them about the commercialization of this product? I will do the same to ensure the correct answer is provided on this forum.
See below the source content on commercialization. I cannot and do not want to present myself as an expert in Photonics, unlike some others who use bots to bring up technical terms or push interpretations in their favor, and tell lies. Completely dismissing me as dumb and completely denigrating me with your community is laughable. There are basic rules of commercialization (in a broad context). See below the source that further outlines this path. (https://fastercapital.com/nl/inhoud/Van-concept-tot-commercialisering-De-weg-naar-succes-voor-technologiebedrijven.html) I have translated the paragraph on commercialization for our English friends (via a translation site before I am depicted as a robot).
I do have a critical note that I am not afraid to express and that I am critical of: the company has not clearly outlined and communicated this trajectory to shareholders, which now works against it.
The process of commercialization
The commercialization process is the journey that a product or technology takes from concept to market introduction. It is the process of transforming an idea into a product (PDK delivered in 22-23) or service that can be sold or used. (in the trajectory we are now in. The commercialization process can be long and complex, often requiring the assistance of experts. (In the case of LWLG Atikim)
There are many steps involved in commercialization, but the basic process can be divided into four phases: research and development, testing and validation, marketing and sales, and post-launch support.
Research and Development: The first phase of commercialization is research and development (R&D). This is the phase where the product or technology is created and developed. R&D is crucial to ensuring that the product or technology is safe and functions as intended. (PDK completed by end 2022 - beginning 2023)
Testing and Validation: The second phase of commercialization involves testing and validation. This is where the product or technology is put to the test to ensure it is ready for market introduction. Testing and validation can be done internally by the company or externally by independent testers. (More than 5000 testing hours have been conducted via external foundries, demonstrating scalability and indicating that some adjustments and additional testing hours are necessary, my timeline is set for late 2023 - early 2024. The next point may also have caused delays where TIER1 partners requested additional R&D for their integration, slowing down the process. LWLG has no influence on this delay).
Marketing and Sales: The third phase of commercialization is marketing and sales. This is where the product or technology is promoted and sold to customers. Marketing and sales activities may include advertising, public relations, direct marketing, and channel marketing. (Interest in LWLG's product at the OFC has increased significantly, with more than 20-25 companies (multinationals, TIER1 showing concrete interest, as shown in LWLG presentations).
Post-launch Support: The fourth phase of commercialization is post-launch support. This is where the product or technology is supported after it has been launched. Post-launch support activities may include customer service, technical support, and warranty support.
The commercialization process can be lengthy and complex, but it is an essential part of bringing new products and technologies to market. By understanding the steps involved in commercialization, companies can better prepare for the journey ahead. (The communication around this process is an absolute hemorrhage from management to shareholders, which plays into your hands and the short positions, such as Ted, Pumpkin, Woop, ..., but the final phase to signing has begun. The contract must be delivered in 2024, otherwise, I will have to revise these words and admit my mistake. The commercialization process is in a normal trajectory and timeline in this perspective, with a delay, where 2024 is still achievable with the end goal in mind.)
How can you claim that Lightwave Logic is intentionally trying to mislead investors based on speculations about the timing of technological developments and unrevised goals during the 2023 ASM? Can you provide concrete evidence that shows these issues are not simply the result of unforeseen challenges rather than a deliberate attempt to deceive?
How can you project LWLG's timeline and the progress of their commercialization when this information is not publicly known? Can you provide evidence of their current stage? Walter's post explains that commercialization is a comprehensive process involving more than just signing contracts.
The lack of goal revision during the 2023 ASM can be explained by ongoing developments and uncertainties in the industry. It does not automatically imply a deliberate attempt to withhold information or manipulate expectations. The delay in obtaining 200mm wafers could have had various reasons such as technological challenges or supplier issues, not necessarily a deliberate effort to mislead investors. It's possible that sampling occurred, over which LWLG had no control over timelines but supported in their project.
You do not deny that this could signify a collaboration, where the step of being mentioned on Polariton's website is a significant advancement? The revenue potential could be enormous, with a very high gross margin. How can you prove that this deal is still far off?
Facts:
Could you elaborate on the fact that LWLG is mentioned on Polariton's site, which, according to the whitepapers analyzed by KCCO, is linked to Nokia? Is this potentially a significant revenue stream?
I am still waiting for your evidence that refers to your manipulation techniques. You remain very silent about that, as these characteristics are strongly recurring. For the facts and accurate information, I refer you to the posts of KCCO, Walter, Markpollo, Jeunke, .. They are critical but provide the correct information.
30 years, mind you, and already more in the account than bankrupt Pumpkin. Let's see this through, and I'll send you a signed box autographed by Lebby where you can sleep under the bridge after your second bankruptcy
completely correct, and it is precisely those manipulators I am warning about who completely tear down well-supported arguments by twisting half-truths into their own creation, thereby completely undermining the strength of a good post about the progress or the company. You are part of this. Do not underestimate me; I am trained to analyze emails, supporting documents, presentations, and sales pitches and form conclusions. I do not post much because this is just a miserable forum full of bashers. Even a blind person can see that photonics is the future, with Lebby as the chairman of Optica, who is called the king in the sector. 1+1=2. However, the framework and communication could be much better, but the way bashers try to drum away the future is surreal. A small note I remembered from a presentation in Boston. Everyone is concerned with the ecological footprint of emissions, but due to AI and when someone consults it, the ecological footprint is greater than someone polluting by driving a heavy diesel. There is a need for change and a greener footprint for data centers and energy consumption. Oh, look who has this solution. LWLG. Amen.
You are making things even more difficult for yourself, with the truth becoming more evident and clearer about your entity. You are saying stupid things, which only clarifies everything further. The more you say, the easier it becomes for a newcomer to discover the real truth. To expose yourself even more, keep posting as much as possible, and we will only see it clearer and clearer. Please keep posting, it only works to your disadvantage.
The most beautiful and best example of a loser is you. Lost everything on Lumera and now on the short position on LWLG. My profit is still significant, and my cost price has been covered by the profit share. Who is the loser? Exactly, the only thing I wish for you is a short position that gets burned. Enjoy the Lumera shares that are worth $0.000000. Have a nice evening!
He has sought help because he is cornered about the real truth of TedPelee. If you suggest and post 10,000 things, there will always be something that is right. We have exposed Tedpelee, so don't bother, Reanimator
The verbal aggressive tone is already emerging. This is due to the sober perspective and assertiveness that elicits resistance from you as a manipulator. You don't appreciate that I and this forum are not falling into his or her trap. Hence this aggressive undertone.
You counterattack and demand proof of my claims, while you yourself do not respond to my post. You exaggerate about the number of posts. Prove me wrong, but the posts and history speak volumes. A manipulator always counterattacks to obscure the truths and shift the focus onto the opponent. I ask you to look at post 196.603 yourself and refute it. (Be aware, we have the complete history of your posts in hand. I am being kind enough to help you not make the mistake of misleading and lying again). You continuously exaggerate the number of posts, exaggerate in your communication, and consistently speak in monologue (one-man show). There is no need to provide proof for this, as everyone here has already observed it. You instill fear by crafting your own playbook of half-truths into a narrative of red flags. As long as LWLG does not show the publication of the contract, claiming they are in a more advanced stage, everything remains open to interpretation, which you skillfully exploit. The Red Flag book are elements you grasp onto and steer towards your own scenario. Not lies, but publications with a free interpretation, highly contestable, where you attempt to instill fear to achieve your goal.
What kind of job do you have, if I may ask? You are an expert in discerning the truth. Give us some insight into your entity and the truth. This way, we can create a clear profile of your entity and reliability.
Constantly editing your posts (fact) is a sign of the confidence and truth you exude. Red Flag for Tedpelee and his reliability.
An expert in discerning the truth? Then why do you apply it incorrectly and use the characteristics of a manipulator in my post 196.603? I recommend everyone browse through TedPelee's posts, and these characteristics will easily surface. You don't even need to be an expert to uncover this truth.
By the way, continually blaming someone else (as you accuse Proto here) is also a characteristic of a manipulator.
Read my post 196.603. It’s a mirror image of yourself. Hopefully, it helps newcomers and others on this forum to completely ignore you. Enjoy lining your pockets by posting for those few dollars. You present yourself as a great expert on this forum, but you have no job or income, and you only have this to earn a few dollars. Good luck with your pathetic life.
Are you now pretending to be a market predictor who can calculate declines and increases? Laughable, TedPelee !! In startups that are manipulated in sick markets, your big boss will determine the manipulations, which you have insight into. A $20 drop where the market overreacted is not so difficult to predict, followed by a decline where the market also overreacted. But we know what your role is here. Read my post (196.603) that I published about the characteristics of a manipulator.
I don't understand why they haven't asked Pumpkin to become the chairman of Photonics yet? With his knowledge and expertise, he should be a world leader. He knows more than the greatest experts. With such expertise, he should be able to earn tons of money. He spends every day, even on Sundays, on this forum to keep posting. And with such knowledge of the subject? People, think twice; how contradictory can this be? Exactly, he has to earn his money this way. Those few dollars...
Correction: you lost all your money on Lumera. Now you have to earn pitiful dollars by continuously posting on this forum for your employer. How much do you earn per post?
I really hope you sell your shares right before the deal comes through, that you miss the train, so you can cry like a baby again because you sold. What a whiner you are, Vein. If you're going to cry like this, sell and spare this forum your whining!
Your mask is falling off. The greatest deceiver of all time. All newcomers, this is the greatest deceiver of them all
I don't understand why they haven't asked Pumpkin to become the chairman of Photonics yet. With his knowledge and expertise, he should be a world leader. He knows more than the greatest experts. With such expertise, he should be able to earn tons of money, yet he spends his Sundays spamming a forum like InvestorsHub for a few dollars. How contradictory can it be?
Great faith in the end product, but the shorts are just 100% right until proven otherwise. This results in these justified price developments. No one believes in this management anymore, but what guarantees can they offer us? Many big promises, but without exact truths, this is just air. Mentioning big names without results is becoming laughable. The shareholders' letter speaks volumes. I no longer know what to believe, and only LWLG is responsible for this doubt and the steep price decline that seems to have no bottom..
You look at the history of the company, which understandably has a reputation against it. Communication remains a critical point of improvement, but I consider the reputation this CEO has built over his career, which should inspire confidence. This company has taken a new direction with Mr. Lebby at the helm. In my view, a new enterprise has been started, albeit with the same name. Considering the doubts that have existed, we can already check off many achievements in this trajectory.
In 2017, the future outlook was less promising than it is now. Seeing how rapidly the AI market is evolving and the capacity and speeds required by data centers, they are compelled to take action. Is this automatically a shift to LWLG's technology? Of course not, but many multinationals are hitting their limits and capacities in the short term, which bodes well for the future. LWLG’s product performs stably under 1V, offering an excellent solution for innovation, increasing capacity and speed, and conversely, reducing energy consumption (which is already a critical point in actions against global warming and becoming more CO2 neutral). With a market share projection of $100B in 2030, the future looks very promising in my eyes. There are other solutions, like copper cabling, but they will have higher costs in the long run, considering the evolution of copper prices and market supply. This is a new architecture that needs to be built entirely, with all necessary calculations, integrations, etc. This takes time, but I hope the multinationals do their homework thoroughly so that the outcome evolves toward LWLG's technology. Are there guarantees? No, but LWLG holds very strong cards for future success, without looking back at the past.
Lurker,
Could your posts, including those of the shorts, also be removed? They regularly contain falsehoods and unfounded personal attacks. In the case of your personal posts, these should also be removed if they are contentless—in other words, all of them. It will become quiet on this forum.
Thank you.
A foundry on each continent would be a strategic move, which I believe they are working on. In Europe, US, and now also in Asia (Singapore) with AMF, they would be well-equipped to supply the market. In the long term, further expansion would certainly be an option if the demand continues to grow exponentially.
Ted, the Good Samaritan... Christmas and Easter fall on the same day.
The ASM brought a significant disappointment regarding the expected contracts. Hopefully, the management will draw the conclusion to dismiss their communications group, MZ Group. They are partly responsible for painting too rosy a picture of the future, which led to overly high short-term expectations, resulting in the current massive disappointment, including for myself. The sharp drop in the stock price is justified, and I congratulate the shorts who accurately predicted this. However, labeling the company and Michael Lebby as fraudsters and deceivers is taken out of context. The fundamentals remain sound. The product is commercially ready, and they are poised to capitalize on the 800G - 1600G - 3200G market. Talks with TIER1 partners are in full swing, and the necessity for a shift in data centers is imperative. Photonics is being accepted by the market, with an expected market share of $100 billion by 2030. Data centers and chip manufacturers are reaching their limits. Samsung Electronics' latest high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips have yet to pass Nvidia’s tests for use in the U.S. firm’s AI processors due to heat and power consumption problems, according to three people briefed on the issues (source: CNBC https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/24/samsungs-hbm-chips-are-failing-nvidia-tests-reuters.html).
LWLG’s technology, which operates below 1V and generates no heat issues, stands out as a prime example of the urgent need for innovation in the market. In short, silicon photonics is not just an innovation; it is a paradigm shift that promises to redefine the essence of data center architecture. With its capability for ultra-fast data transmission, energy efficiency, space optimization, and scalability, silicon photonics is a beacon of hope in a data-driven world that aims to evolve and thrive. As the journey progresses, we eagerly anticipate the numerous possibilities silicon photonics will unlock for the future of data centers.
This complex shift at the TIER1 level requires time and a comprehensive trajectory from A to Z. LWLG would be working day and night with their partners to achieve the desired results as quickly as possible. Better and more transparent communication would have been better received than creating a fog about the shareholder's position. This is a critical point that management has severely underestimated.
In this market shift, LWLG will definitely play a role. No matter how bleak the short-term outlook appears, the strong fundamentals for the future remain intact. The short-sellers come out of the woodwork like rats from a sewer, but I always say, he who laughs last, laughs best. Unfortunately, this is also part of investing as a steadfast long-term investor who believes in the future.
Hi KCCO,
Thank you!
If Marcelli thinks you are the reason for the stock decline, it's definitely time to dismiss him and bring fresh blood into the management. Is he really that dumb? I'm glad that Michael Lebby is our captain. Have you or the other management confronted him about this further? Being critical is positive. Feedback is a gift. Any other impressions about the ASM? At what stage do you feel we have progressed towards contracts with TIER1 partners and foundries?
Day in, day out? Out of good intentions, don't make me laugh! You were forced to go knocking at short-seller firms after your bankruptcy due to Lumera, looking for work. With a little background in photonics, you were hired to run this company into the ground for years now, so your employers can make tons of money while you earn measly dollars per post. That explains why your volume of posts has also increased. 24/7, a liar, this Pumpkin. He sows discord with a few terms he learned at Lumera—back then on the wrong side, and now again on the wrong side. He who laughs last, Pumpkin...
You have been very active in recent days? Double bonus from your employer? You present yourself as an expert and connoisseur of this company, but you are not present at the ASM? Only then do you earn respect to ask your questions. Or are you afraid of being laughed at? It's clear what your intentions are here. Spreading negativity. I am also critical and there are certainly things that could be improved, but this nonsense makes no sense
Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) is a specialized silicon photonics foundry based in Singapore. Here is a summary of the key information about the company:
Revenue 2023
AMF's revenue in 2023 was reported to be shrinking, with the company experiencing financial challenges during the year (Preqin).
Revenue 2024 (first quarter : 5M)
Number of Employees
As of the latest available data, AMF employs around 200 people (Preqin)
History
AMF was founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the Institute of Microelectronics (IME) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore. The company has positioned itself as the first dedicated silicon photonics foundry, leveraging over 15 years of experience in the field. AMF focuses on providing high-mix, specialty foundry services for integrated optics manufacturing? (ADVMF) (ADVMF).
Services and Technology
AMF offers a range of services, including prototyping, volume wafer manufacturing, and multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles on platforms such as Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) and Silicon Nitride on SOI. They also provide wafer-level packaging solutions and maintain an up-to-date process design kit (PDK) to ensure optimal device performance for applications in telecommunications, data centers, LiDAR, and sensing? (ADVMF).
Leadership
The executive team is led by Mr. Jagadish CV, the CEO, who has extensive experience in the semiconductor industry. Other key members include CFO Togi Gouw, CTO Dr. Patrick Lo Guo-Qiang, CRO Dr. Michael Reiha, and VP of Operations Mr. Ho Eng Keong? (ADVMF).
Overall, AMF aims to become a leader in silicon photonics by offering reliable and innovative foundry services, backed by a strong team with deep industry expertise.
Listen to this Photonics expert, who also perfectly predicted Lumera (lost all his money on Lumera)
Mr Jagadish C.V, CEO of AMF, stated: "Lightwave Logic's EO polymer modulators have been demonstrated to support higher baud rates, low power consumption, all while preserving their compact size. These features, integrated with AMF Silicon Photonics platform, make them cost effective options for 4X200 Gb/s (800Gb/s) and next-generation 1.6Tb/s pluggable transceivers applications. This demonstration opens exciting opportunities to develop novel solutions for commercial-grade-compatible EO polymer modulators seamlessly integrated with AMF's standard processes. We are keen to continue to explore the synergies between EO polymer modulation on our foundry processes, to provide innovative and manufacturable technology solutions for data communication."
He is forced to do this for a living because he lost everything on Lumera
