Management Commentary
"The first quarter of 2024 demonstrated our continued leadership in the photonics industry with world class performance for our technologies and critical contributions to the new global integrated photonics industry roadmap," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "These accomplishments serve as highlights for ongoing engagement with a wide spectrum of companies to discuss additional licensing agreements for our EO polymer materials, including innovative start-ups, existing OEMs and tier-1 multinational corporations that have optical network systems businesses designed to address emerging applications including generative AI.
"The latest world-class performance of our Perkinamine® EO polymer material was recently achieved operating in an optical interconnect link, at 437.1Gbps employing a PAM8 178GBaud signal encoded by a plasmonic Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM). The data center industry is currently focused on exceeding 200Gbps per lane, primarily driven by generative AI opportunities. 200Gbps per lane with 4 lanes is a current interest for 800Gbps pluggable transceiver manufacturing, which our company's EO polymers have easily achieved. This world-class result, achieving data rates of 400Gbps per lane, demonstrates that our company's EO polymers are capable of exceeding double the current industry expectation. This has the potential to enable 4 channel 1.6Tbps (1600Gbps) pluggable transceiver modules, which is on the roadmap of datacenter operators today.
"At the 2024 Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) we discussed more world-class results based on a novel packaged heterogeneous polymer EO modulator design leveraging silicon photonics devices from a 200mm production foundry process and our proprietary high temperature, high performance EO polymer material. Each modulator was operated at 100GBaud PAM4 and achieved all drive voltages below 2V, and as low as 1V, which is excellent for low power operation. This demonstrates that a hybrid approach, leveraging the cost and integration benefits of silicon photonics along with the unparalleled bandwidth and low power advantages of our proprietary EO polymers, lays a clear path for competitive performance and integration for today's and future optical pluggable transceivers. These results will position us to support the burgeoning demand of generative AI as datacenters around the world begin to upgrade their hardware faster than expected to meet the demands of the future.
"A new patent during the quarter advances the overall performance of our EO chromophores and their use in high-speed, low power and commercial-grade EO polymer modulators. The proprietary chromophores are designed with Diamondoid molecular groups that are attached to the chromophore. Results show that when these chromophores are dispersed in a host polymer matrix, the EO materials result in improved macroscopic EO properties, increased poling efficiency, increased loading as well as increased stability of these materials after poling. We see this material as a key component for next generation 800Gbps and 1600Gbps pluggable optical transceiver modules that further support the rise of generative AI and upgrading of datacenter hardware equipment.
Highlighting our leadership position, we substantially contributed to the recently published "Integrated Photonics System Roadmap - International" (IPSR-I) to accelerate the high-volume commercial manufacturing of high-value integrated photonics over the next decade and beyond. The requirements included in the roadmap comprise the commercial factors that will compose and grow the accelerating photonics industry going forward for all companies, with our focus on our Perkinamine® Electro-Optic polymers. The integrated photonics roadmaps both plan and anticipate commercial opportunities as well as potential roadblocks and/or critical needs on the way to scaling the manufacturing of integrated photonics through 2040. The silicon semiconductor industry has relied on these types of roadmaps for the past 50 years and with IPSR-I, the photonics industry is becoming organized and more influential as well.
"Taken together, in our conversations with potential customers, we are highlighting how our polymers are fast, low power and robust in a smaller footprint. We are also providing reliability data and demonstrating our ability to produce at scale with our facilities expansion in 2023. Given our robust cash position with no debts - we believe that we are well positioned to serve as a value-added partner in the quarters and years to come. We hope many of you will join us at our Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 22, 2024 which will be followed by a tour of our Englewood facility and a device demonstration," concluded Lebby.

The article Synopsis Photonics Solutions posted on LinkedIn was from the PIC Magazine article by Michael Lebby here
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/synopsysphotonicsolutions_article-by-michael-lebby-ceo-lightwave-activity-7181893534705201153-QcJ2/
Synopsys reposted another Lightwave Logic article this morning. Quite interesting that a $90B company has posted about them on more than 1 occasion this week.
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/synopsysphotonicsolutions_200-gbps-heterogeneous-polymersilicon-photonic-activity-7183358130699870208-YQ_U
Synopsis also reposted the article below this morning. Some of the language in the Global Foundries portion of the article seems to resonate with me.
https://www.synopsys.com/photonic-solutions/e-news/2024-march.html#gf
Just going to put this here. Synopsis Foundy Spotlight: GF Fotonix
"Roadmap Solution (excerpt)
The GF Fotonix™ technology is targeted towards inter/intra-data center and photonic compute applications with future extensions planned for ancillary markets such as sensing and LiDAR. The base technology supports O-band based 100G solutions. Plans are in place to support 200G solutions. Future packaging feature enhancements, such as support for thru-silicon vias (TSV), tighter v-groove pitches, tighter pitch CuP and CuRxPads. The technology will also serve as a platform for the heterogeneous integration of novel materials in the future." (LWLG Polymers)
Synopsys has been at multiple LWLG hosted/attended conferences recently, one of the directors was at the San Francisco VIP conference Lebby hosted earlier in the year, they are definitely at the very least collaborating (GFS too)
Just a guess here/speculating:
GFS, Tower/intel, Nokia among a couple others were likely the earlier leads based on white papers. Google a lead based on their recent presentation(not sure if they were old or new) Nvidia based on a repost on LinkedIn I think they’re at least aware but haven’t seen much public connection. I’m sure there’s a few I’m not remembering but the rest I don’t remember any obvious connections. Smart photonics was another one I’ve heard of I think KC referenced them.
In the investor pres at least 5-6 of the logos they show have referenced us in one way or another via whitepapers, presentations, reposts or interview mentions. The rest are quietly looking into this I’m sure
One key piece I liked is he mentioned they are less interested in tech transfer deals, likely only doing those if the 3rd party wants to use it for an auxiliary use such as Lidar which is out of their main focus. Means more money for us long term, likely going a very similar route business wise as OLED, mostly licensing type of deals.

I can’t believe my eyes!
It is happening…

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.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LWLG/comments/15twmqr/interview_with_dr_lebby_august_17_2023/
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!!!
low volume high frequency manipulation again!! jeeez!!! RIDONKULOUS!!! this report just in from underworld realm, many Shorts prayers to their many gods of illegal manipulation pleading for 20+ million shares at this PPS level to somehow "magically" Cover before Lebby drops the MOAB of giant Tier 1 delas on them!!!!
UPDATED!!! ASM Slide 38 "Multi-Level & Cross Functional Engagements"
most people do NOT understand how deeply embedded Lebby is throughout the entire Photonics Industry Food Chain, what this slide is telling investors that when the "Big Silicon Foundries" LWLG is working with (see SNN interview) there is PULL from the End Users which are the Amazon, Google, etc of the world, and the Packaging partners are likely the large Tier 1 Networkers, so when don't be surprised when the market halts news pending and there are SEVERAL large players involved including Foundries & Tier 1 Networkers
Here are some of the "Big Silicon Foundries" that produce on 200mm wafers:
(the bolded Foundries are the most likely as they have been linked to LWLG already)
GlobalFoundries
Hua Hong Semiconductor
Samsung
SK Hynix
SkyWater Technology
SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation)
Tower Semiconductor
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)
UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation)
Vanguard International Semiconductor
X-Fab
SVE do you know if there are customers already committed to use S7 ACC's once the 800gbs deployments begin, if so, why would they not want to be placing orders now for anticipated 2nd half deployments as there would naturally be expected lead time for the manufacturing of the needed cables in volume
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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
Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!
Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!
Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months
1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on large Foundries 200mm Wafers
2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024
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???????
total BULLSHIT as usual!!! but what would an investor expect from a lying deceiving Short!!!
teddybear AGAIN FOR 10th TIME!!!! >>> I've called you and your bff out multiple times now to defend WHY anyone in their right mind would say TFLN will be the material that is the winner in Photonics!!! It is ABSURDLY stupid as those that would TOUT IT!!!!
here once again for you and marky boy, you guys MUST HAVE MISSED IT... AGAIN!!!!,
oh teddybear trying again to baffle them with your bullshit, along with a HIGHLY DISREPECTED JOURNALIST that Jose had to PUBLICLY SHAME AFTER THE YOUTUBE FEED WAS CUT OFF, but for PARTICIPANTS ON THE ZOOM MEETING it was heard LIVE!!!! Here's the TRUTH folks!!!!
TFLN? here worth another LQQk,
TFLN isn’t ready. Unless HyperLight drastically expanded their production line and figured out their stability issues, they aren’t able to supply the market.
Liobate. No. Luxtelligence and it’s customers. No. Lightium is the new guy. No, years away. Rapid Photonics. Who? Ori-Chip. Maybe if anyone. NanoLN…monopoly on TFLN wafers hence why Luxtelligence and Lightium exist. Eoptolink uses HyperLight’s PICs because their own Chinese suppliers can’t supply…and Eopolink isn’t selling. And why is that…go to the paragraph above.
“The volume will act as a barrier.” LOL for TFLN you mean Markie?

Hyperlight is showcasing its TFLN GOLD BOX modulator as their PRIZE DEVELOPMENT!!!
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Hyperlight is supposedly the #1 TFLN company in the world!!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
here's a sample meeting of a Google/Amazon/Nvidia etc CEO with their Chief Engineer of Photonics
CEO, so what do you think we should use for our true next-gen internet transmissions solution?
ENG, well we've been working hard to help you decide the BEST solution and here's what we've got, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, so then TFLN must have all those things we spoke about right? Is TFLN incredibly small so as to free up space in the Transceiver box so we don't have to implement Co-Packaged Optics any time within the next several generations?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers fit 120 devices in the same space TFLN fits only 8, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must be using the least power right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers is the ONLY solution operating at sub-1Volt that ELIMINATE the power hungry and expensive Driver Chip, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must have the lowest Optical Losses and will save us money on requiring less DSP usage right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers has MUCH LOWER Optical Losses, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok well TFLN must be SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers are SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries and we are not sure whether TFLN can be "shoehorned in" to a Silicon Foundry PDK yet but there are quite a few companies trying to do that right now, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well I've heard that TFLN does not yet have a 200Gbs device capable of being mass produced at a large SiPh Foundry on 200mm Wafers?
ENG, sorry sir, NO they don't yet, but they are working really hard on that right now!!
CEO, what about LWLG Polymers, can they mass produce a 200Gbs device on 200mm Wafers at a large Foundry?
ENG, well YES sir, they just got done demonstrating perfect Open Eyes of that very device at OFC to MANY Tier1's along with Research Analysts, etc, it was VERY IMPRESSIVE indeed, I was there!!! BUT may I remind you, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, well I actually know Michael Lebby and I know of all his credentials in leadership of the Photonics Industry, but I really hadn't considered what you are telling me about Mark L telling everyone that TFLN is the way to go, interesting, well I've come to my decision
ENG, well did I convince you? Are you going with TFLN as Mark L says is going to be the winner?
CEO, no actually I'm going with Lebby/LWLG and YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Oh and one more thing, LWLG's technology has HEADROOM for at least a decade of future generations!!
TFLN does NOT!!!
Here from the 2023 ASM Lebby quoted a Foundry as saying the following "At our Foundry we are worried about an investment into TFLN, it may only be for one generation, but with (LWLG) Polymers our investment would be worthwhile and a better ROI"
LWLG beats ALL Next-Gen Competitors hands down!!! Let's compare,
Understanding Figure of Merit (FOM) the BEST place to be on the chart shown on Slide 47 is the TOP and RIGHT of the chart, and notice this is EXACTLY where LWLG is shown as compared to the competing Next-Gen challengers!!!
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/23d26d3e-c498-431f-ba5c-2250e5f374cb/9bec8dfc-0108-5227-4f5b-d31f67ae623a?origin=2
LWLG tops ALL competition in FOM scores by far!!!!
Let's discuss the Competition >> from the ASM video starting at about 21:06 investors learn that amazingly there is no REAL competition to LWLG's technology for transmitting data!!! The first slide on competition shown is #25 and it has columns for each of the competitive products and then down the page a list of attributes along with the comparable Ratings for each of them, LWLG's Polymers are by far and away TONS THE BEST versus ALL the competitors!!
Let's review each of the attributes and see why LWLG's technology is SO SUPERIOR to any/all of them
1) SPEED >> LWLG is TONS THE BEST with speeds over 100GHz with HEADROOM to go MUCH FASTER!!!!! The rest of the competitors MAX OUT in the 30GHz - 70GHz range!!!
2) SIZE >> LWLG's slot modulator is the smallest, InP comes closest, but LNb, TFLN, and BTO are all MUCH BIGGER, in fact in another slide Lebby compares LWLG's slot modulator array to TFLN and in the space where 8 TFLN modulators sit, there could be 15 times as many LWLG slot modulators (120 modualtors!!)
3) POWER (Voltage) >> Only LWLG's technology is at sub 1 volt, SiP up to 5 volts, InP up to 7 volts, LNb up to 40 volts, TFLN up to 5 volts, BTO up to 3 volts
4) OPTICAL LOSS >> again LWLG slot is BEST with 3-8Db, SiP up to 20Db, InP up to 10Db, LNb up to 12Db, TFLN up to 15Db, BTO up to 12Db
5) ENERGY CONSUMPTION >> LWLG is BEST again with just 5pj/bit!!! SiP up to 20pj/bit, InP up to 40pj/bit, LNb up to 100pj/bit, TFLN up to 20pj/bit, BTO up to 20pj/bit
6) STABILITY >> again LWLG is the BEST, while SiP and InP are also very Stabile, the newcomers BTO and TFLN are NOT stabile enough for commercial acceptance!!
7) FOUNDRY COMPATABILITY >> Only LWLG and SiP use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication", InP, LNb, TFLN and BTO are NOT able to use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication" they all require their own Foundries
8) REQUIRES DRIVER (Expensive & Power Hungry!!!!) >> Only LWLG at sub 1 volt can ELIMINATE THE DRIVER!!!!! This is HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!!
Lebby also illustrates all of this at 25:18 marker with Slide #29 where the BEST technology would be found as HIGH UP and as FAR TO THE RIGHT as can be, notice ONLY one technology is placed there and it is of course LWLG in the light green shaded rectangle!!!
Ha!! Too funny!! how can you tell when punkipoo is lying? Basically 100% of everything you post is WRONG and you know it!!!
Here, let's start with this most recent one your posts #190033
punkipoo said, 2027 and beyond would be the meaningful years if EOP happens. They are in the exact same boat whether you believe it or not.
TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!!! NLM wishes they even had a boat!!!! Look at Slide 13 to see the TRUTH!!!! The spider chart on the right is showing LWLG as the blue line and the competition (NLM) as the brown line, NLM is NOWHERE even close to LWLG!!!!!
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/307dbc8b-e212-48ba-9968-8cef3f6b5188/cfe8be05-ce41-6208-b717-33e542d3eb77?origin=2

just finished watching Lebby destroy the Shorts in Belgium, my summary is as follows:
TED IS DEAD!!! PUMPKIN PIE FOR ALL LONGS TO ENJOY!!!!
Lebby has just told investors that LWLG's technology is in such SUPER HIGH DEMAND by virtually all of the Tier 1's, so much so that LWLG is picking and choosing who the Customers will be that will get LWLG's technology to UBIQUITY the FASTEST!!!!
Please WATCH AND LEARN!!!! Here,
1) Lebby's Timeline to Mass Commercialization has remained UNCHANGED in presentations for the last few years, Lebby has told investors that LWLG would come to market at 800Gbs in 2024!!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172658420
2) Lebby has been making partnering DEALS at least as far back as ECOC 2019 when LWLG presented its META-STABILITY DATA that showed the material systems actually GAINED stability over time!!
3) Lebby's Timeline of 2024 is a PERFECT MATCH to what the industry is now showing to be the FASTEST ADOPTION EVER of a Next-Gen Node Implementation at 800Gbs set for, you guessed it, 2024!!! Check out this chart showing 800Gb adoption to be HUGE at $2 Billion starting in 2024!!! (note 800Gbs is the BLUE SHADED area)

4) Lebby in the latest Wall Street Transcript just flat out told investors who the Customers are going to be when this thing ROLLS, which will undoubtably be in 2024 because that is what the INDUSTRY is saying will be the HUGE rollout of 800Gbs, and make NO MISTAKE when you read below who LWLG's Customers are going to be (all under NDA now!!)
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.
As I see the business model, you need to be flexible, because some of these guys will want to buy from you direct. And other ones who will say, go work with our contract manufacturer or go work with our foundry, get qualified there, and then we’ll give you the business.
And so, we have to be flexible with these large guys, because they have different working models.

Ok folks, so Investors now now that the Intel's and Cisco's and Google's ARE THE CUSTOMERS that the Foundries PDK's HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED to serve!!!! Lebby has already told investors that there are PRODUCTION TRIALS in progress for at least the last 6 months but more likely a year or more!!!
PRODUCTION TRIALS!!! Nothing makes short sellers more nervous than finding out that Lightwave Logic’s foundry partners are currently running PRODUCTION TRIALS Why would they do that? “We” were convinced their technology would never scale and the fact that Lightwave Logic has never produced a product in 20 years was proof positive that they would never ever produce any revenue. We even talked to an ex employee who told us there were issues five years ago.
The worst news possible is learning about production runs because reaching that step means both parties want to produce and market this technology. In order to reach agreement on the terms of a license, both parties must be comfortable with the production economics. What level of upfront cash payment is appropriate? What percentage of gross modulator sales makes sense?
One thing is clear to me, the foundries want this technology and are already devoting machine time to be able to price the agreements. If I were short this stock, I would be fargin nervous as hell.

. This expansion of our IP moat, paired with our acquisition of the mission-critical IP assets of Chromosol Ltd (UK) to strengthen foundry PDK design capabilities with extremely low temperature ALD Processes, is a part of our ability to advance initial production trials with our foundry partners and secure our first licensing agreements in the near-term.

Jefferies Blocks Short Sells in GameStop, AMC, MicroVision... And LWLG will be added to this list very soon!!!!!
SHORTS ARE SCREWED, COVER NOW!!!
Bloomberg) -- Jefferies told clients Wednesday its prime brokerage arm will no longer allow the execution of short sells in GameStop Corp., AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and MicroVision Inc., according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News.
“Until further notice, Jefferies Prime Brokerage will no longer offer custody on naked options in GME, AMC and MVIS,” the memo noted. The firm will no longer allow the execution of short sells of those securities, the memo continued, noting that other stocks may be added to that list.

oh how the deceivers work to deceive!!! nothing could be further from the TRUTH punkipoo and you know it!!!!
Lebby has told investors that the INTEGRATION of the modulators is very simple, Lebby called it "EASE OF INTEGRATION"!!!
First, listen to what Lebby said at Wainright here,
in fact, we are enabling network equipment upgrades without changing the network. You don't have to change the fiber, you don't have to change the equipment. You just put our technology, which is like putting a V8 into a four-cylinder car, and you put it into those little boxes. I don't know if there's a point that works here. And those boxes all fit into the network switches and routers, and that upgrades the equipment without changing the equipment, which is really powerful.

[–]KCCO7913 2 points 23 minutes ago
What I’m hearing from people that attended yesterdays meeting is that the transceiver partner is a giant company that is dedicating a lot of their own resources to LWLG’s development. It’s just a matter of time before the relationship is made public.
Herwig posted this on IHUB
ML indicated that he does not want to work with many small deals that can be quickly closed.
He immediately wants to go for the really big boys, but with those big boys such implementation takes much longer because the contracts are more complex.
In any case, it was clear that LWLG is sitting at the table with heavyweights.

Lebby already told investors who the Customers would be!! here
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?

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!!!
Short Playbook has run out of pages, every Short argument has FAILED miserably, from calling LWLG vaporware to saying it can never be done, it's failed science experiment, it can't be poled, then well except maybe one at a time, then well they'll never be able scale it in a small Foundry, then they'll never be able scale it in a BIG Foundry
ALL THESE ARGUMENTS WERE PURE BULLSHIT!!! And Shorts hired paid bashers galore!!!
But now Lebby commands the driver seat and he's working the largest companies on God's green earth!!! What caused the shift to ONLY pursuing the giant companies? investors already learned the answer to that from the LD Micro interview of what transpired in the first couple months of 2024, that being success at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers perfect for MASS COMMERCIALIZATION of the Google, Cisco, Ciena etc companies, here
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174203972
UPDATED!!! ASM Slide 38 "Multi-Level & Cross Functional Engagements"
most people do NOT understand how deeply embedded Lebby is throughout the entire Photonics Industry Food Chain, what this slide is telling investors that when the "Big Silicon Foundries" LWLG is working with (see SNN interview) there is PULL from the End Users which are the Amazon, Google, etc of the world, and the Packaging partners are likely the large Tier 1 Networkers, so when don't be surprised when the market halts news pending and there are SEVERAL large players involved including Foundries & Tier 1 Networkers
Here are some of the "Big Silicon Foundries" that produce on 200mm wafers:
(the bolded Foundries are the most likely as they have been linked to LWLG already)
GlobalFoundries
Hua Hong Semiconductor
Samsung
SK Hynix
SkyWater Technology
SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation)
Tower Semiconductor
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)
UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation)
Vanguard International Semiconductor
X-Fab
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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
Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!
Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!
Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months
1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on large Foundries 200mm Wafers
2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024
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???????
just finished watching Lebby destroy the Shorts in Belgium, my summary is as follows:
TED IS DEAD!!! PUMPKIN PIE FOR ALL LONGS TO ENJOY!!!!
Lebby has just told investors that LWLG's technology is in such SUPER HIGH DEMAND by virtually all of the Tier 1's, so much so that LWLG is picking and choosing who the Customers will be that will get LWLG's technology to UBIQUITY the FASTEST!!!!
Please WATCH AND LEARN!!!! Here,
If Roaring Kitty (aka DFV) even gets so much as a whiff of LWLG, which unlike GME and AMC actually has something HUGE going for it, that'll be the Shorts WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

there goes tedybear again trying to get investors to focus on his misdirection just like a seasoned magician!! Too funny!!!!
The FACT is that Lebby RIGHT NOW has the 200gbs LWLG modulator ready for mass production of 200mm Wafers being implemented at SEVERAL LARGE FOUNDRIES, and Lebby post-OFC meetings in Belgium declared NO ISSUES left to solve!!! here,
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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 is that the DEMONSTRATIONS of this device at OFC were so over-the-top successful that the Tier 1's are fighting now for Lebby/LWLG's time, for their Engineers to be working with LWLG Engineers!!! In fact, 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
Oh and BTW, teddybear has practically ZERO understanding of the things he posts here, it is like he is throwing spaghetti up against the wall to see if it sticks!!! Too funny!! KCC already shot down teddybear's newest lame arguments, here
1) That is the correct image from the Google shout out. Zwickel was the reference. The date was 2020 but I think it was just a continuation of the 2018 paper you posted. It’s a slot modulator structure so of course LWLGs pictures and these pictures are going to look the same.
2) LWLG owns the IP for the technology in the 5k hour paper. You gotta peel the onion back on these types of stats to see what may or may not be significant. There’s material only tests, tests on devices, tests on packaged devices. LWLG’s data today is packaged devices that are quasi-hermetically sealed using the ALD and do not require a gold box package for that hermetic seal. Leaps and bounds ahead of that paper.
3) 100% poling efficiency there isn’t what you think it means. There, it means the material r33 stayed the same when they put it into a device. Generally there’s a reduction in r33 “in-device”.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174402284
The important thing for investors to focus on is that Lebby is still on-track with his long-standing Timeline to Customer Acceptance and Ramp at 800gbs in 2024!!!!
Lebby has not backed down from his stated SAM/SOM goals and in Belgium discussions my understanding he said these are likely to be increased now!! The SAM/SOM goals match EXACTLY to Lebby's long-standing Timeline for a Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024!!
Lebby provided SAM/SOM GOALS at ASM for 2024 to 2030
I built a detailed financial model using the SOM/SAM information for 800G and 1.6T pluggable transceivers and it shows a $5-10 billion market cap by 2028 using the "base case" SOM estimates.
It's not perfect, but probably the most precise model anyone has put together so far. A big unknown is the COGS and OPEX, but using 80-85% gross margin (like OLED) and knowing LWLG estimates around 50 employees at mass commercialization...it's probably close. My revenue estimates also center around the value of the modulators, and not necessarily revenue had in technology transfer agreements. I'm not sure how those agreements would be priced and if LWLG would offer a discount so to speak since someone else it spending the money in manufacturing.
This is all just for one application and there are endless applications for super small, fast and efficient modulators. Hell, I even found a white paper using a MZM-based sensors used as a "nose" for fermenting coffee and finding the most precise time to stop the fermenting process.
Now - IMO, the company will be bought out well before we ever hit $1 billion in revenue. That's fine with me. OLED hit $10-15B market cap with around $500 million in revenue.

1) since OFC demos the INCREDIBLE current demand from Tier 1's is overwhelming!!
2) the 200Gbs modulator product has NO ISSUES, it is READY to commercialize!!
3) the need for LWLG technology is ASTRONOMICALLY HUGE with AI inception!!
4) LWLG is on-track with Lebby's long-standing Timeline for 800gbs Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024!!
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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.

Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!
Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!
Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months
1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on large Foundries 200mm Wafers
2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024
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???????
teddybear AGAIN FOR 10th TIME!!!! >>> I've called you and your bff out multiple times now to defend WHY anyone in their right mind would say TFLN will be the material that is the winner in Photonics!!! It is ABSURDLY stupid as those that would TOUT IT!!!!
here once again for you and marky boy, you guys MUST HAVE MISSED IT... AGAIN!!!!,
oh teddybear trying again to baffle them with your bullshit, along with a HIGHLY DISREPECTED JOURNALIST that Jose had to PUBLICLY SHAME AFTER THE YOUTUBE FEED WAS CUT OFF, but for PARTICIPANTS ON THE ZOOM MEETING it was heard LIVE!!!! Here's the TRUTH folks!!!!
TFLN? here worth another LQQk,
TFLN isn’t ready. Unless HyperLight drastically expanded their production line and figured out their stability issues, they aren’t able to supply the market.
Liobate. No. Luxtelligence and it’s customers. No. Lightium is the new guy. No, years away. Rapid Photonics. Who? Ori-Chip. Maybe if anyone. NanoLN…monopoly on TFLN wafers hence why Luxtelligence and Lightium exist. Eoptolink uses HyperLight’s PICs because their own Chinese suppliers can’t supply…and Eopolink isn’t selling. And why is that…go to the paragraph above.

here's a sample meeting of a Google/Amazon/Nvidia etc CEO with their Chief Engineer of Photonics
CEO, so what do you think we should use for our true next-gen internet transmissions solution?
ENG, well we've been working hard to help you decide the BEST solution and here's what we've got, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, so then TFLN must have all those things we spoke about right? Is TFLN incredibly small so as to free up space in the Transceiver box so we don't have to implement Co-Packaged Optics any time within the next several generations?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers fit 120 devices in the same space TFLN fits only 8, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must be using the least power right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers is the ONLY solution operating at sub-1Volt that ELIMINATE the power hungry and expensive Driver Chip, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must have the lowest Optical Losses and will save us money on requiring less DSP usage right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers has MUCH LOWER Optical Losses, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok well TFLN must be SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers are SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries and we are not sure whether TFLN can be "shoehorned in" to a Silicon Foundry PDK yet but there are quite a few companies trying to do that right now, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well I've heard that TFLN does not yet have a 200Gbs device capable of being mass produced at a large SiPh Foundry on 200mm Wafers?
ENG, sorry sir, NO they don't yet, but they are working really hard on that right now!!
CEO, what about LWLG Polymers, can they mass produce a 200Gbs device on 200mm Wafers at a large Foundry?
ENG, well YES sir, they just got done demonstrating perfect Open Eyes of that very device at OFC to MANY Tier1's along with Research Analysts, etc, it was VERY IMPRESSIVE indeed, I was there!!! BUT may I remind you, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, well I actually know Michael Lebby and I know of all his credentials in leadership of the Photonics Industry, but I really hadn't considered what you are telling me about Mark L telling everyone that TFLN is the way to go, interesting, well I've come to my decision
ENG, well did I convince you? Are you going with TFLN as Mark L says is going to be the winner?
CEO, no actually I'm going with Lebby/LWLG and YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Oh and one more thing, LWLG's technology has HEADROOM for at least a decade of future generations!!
TFLN does NOT!!!
Here from the 2023 ASM Lebby quoted a Foundry as saying the following "At our Foundry we are worried about an investment into TFLN, it may only be for one generation, but with (LWLG) Polymers our investment would be worthwhile and a better ROI"
LWLG beats ALL Next-Gen Competitors hands down!!! Let's compare,

5) ENERGY CONSUMPTION >> LWLG is BEST again with just 5pj/bit!!! SiP up to 20pj/bit, InP up to 40pj/bit, LNb up to 100pj/bit, TFLN up to 20pj/bit, BTO up to 20pj/bit
6) STABILITY >> again LWLG is the BEST, while SiP and InP are also very Stabile, the newcomers BTO and TFLN are NOT stabile enough for commercial acceptance!!
7) FOUNDRY COMPATABILITY >> Only LWLG and SiP use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication", InP, LNb, TFLN and BTO are NOT able to use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication" they all require their own Foundries
8) REQUIRES DRIVER (Expensive & Power Hungry!!!!) >> Only LWLG at sub 1 volt can ELIMINATE THE DRIVER!!!!! This is HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!!

Management Commentary
"The first quarter of 2024 demonstrated our continued leadership in the photonics industry with world class performance for our technologies and critical contributions to the new global integrated photonics industry roadmap," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "These accomplishments serve as highlights for ongoing engagement with a wide spectrum of companies to discuss additional licensing agreements for our EO polymer materials, including innovative start-ups, existing OEMs and tier-1 multinational corporations that have optical network systems businesses designed to address emerging applications including generative AI.
"The latest world-class performance of our Perkinamine® EO polymer material was recently achieved operating in an optical interconnect link, at 437.1Gbps employing a PAM8 178GBaud signal encoded by a plasmonic Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM). The data center industry is currently focused on exceeding 200Gbps per lane, primarily driven by generative AI opportunities. 200Gbps per lane with 4 lanes is a current interest for 800Gbps pluggable transceiver manufacturing, which our company's EO polymers have easily achieved. This world-class result, achieving data rates of 400Gbps per lane, demonstrates that our company's EO polymers are capable of exceeding double the current industry expectation. This has the potential to enable 4 channel 1.6Tbps (1600Gbps) pluggable transceiver modules, which is on the roadmap of datacenter operators today.
"At the 2024 Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) we discussed more world-class results based on a novel packaged heterogeneous polymer EO modulator design leveraging silicon photonics devices from a 200mm production foundry process and our proprietary high temperature, high performance EO polymer material. Each modulator was operated at 100GBaud PAM4 and achieved all drive voltages below 2V, and as low as 1V, which is excellent for low power operation. This demonstrates that a hybrid approach, leveraging the cost and integration benefits of silicon photonics along with the unparalleled bandwidth and low power advantages of our proprietary EO polymers, lays a clear path for competitive performance and integration for today's and future optical pluggable transceivers. These results will position us to support the burgeoning demand of generative AI as datacenters around the world begin to upgrade their hardware faster than expected to meet the demands of the future.
"A new patent during the quarter advances the overall performance of our EO chromophores and their use in high-speed, low power and commercial-grade EO polymer modulators. The proprietary chromophores are designed with Diamondoid molecular groups that are attached to the chromophore. Results show that when these chromophores are dispersed in a host polymer matrix, the EO materials result in improved macroscopic EO properties, increased poling efficiency, increased loading as well as increased stability of these materials after poling. We see this material as a key component for next generation 800Gbps and 1600Gbps pluggable optical transceiver modules that further support the rise of generative AI and upgrading of datacenter hardware equipment.
"Highlighting our leadership position, we substantially contributed to the recently published "Integrated Photonics System Roadmap - International" (IPSR-I) to accelerate the high-volume commercial manufacturing of high-value integrated photonics over the next decade and beyond. The requirements included in the roadmap comprise the commercial factors that will compose and grow the accelerating photonics industry going forward for all companies, with our focus on our Perkinamine® Electro-Optic polymers. The integrated photonics roadmaps both plan and anticipate commercial opportunities as well as potential roadblocks and/or critical needs on the way to scaling the manufacturing of integrated photonics through 2040. The silicon semiconductor industry has relied on these types of roadmaps for the past 50 years and with IPSR-I, the photonics industry is becoming organized and more influential as well.
"Taken together, in our conversations with potential customers, we are highlighting how our polymers are fast, low power and robust in a smaller footprint. We are also providing reliability data and demonstrating our ability to produce at scale with our facilities expansion in 2023. Given our robust cash position with no debts - we believe that we are well positioned to serve as a value-added partner in the quarters and years to come. We hope many of you will join us at our Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 22, 2024 which will be followed by a tour of our Englewood facility and a device demonstration," concluded Lebby.
Benzinga All-Access Interview
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, will host a fireside chat at 10:50 a.m. Eastern time today with the hosts of the Benzinga All-Access show to discuss the Company's first quarter 2024 corporate updates, recent milestone achievements and potential near-term catalysts. To watch the interview, please refer to the access information below.
Benzinga All-Access Show
Date: Monday, May 13, 2024
Presentation Time: 10:50 a.m. Eastern time
Webcast:
conservative fair valuation of this technology based on Developments and IP to-date would be $100-$500 million USD in my estimation, depending on the level of market penetration it could be much higher as well, my guess is S7 will either enter into a significant JV with the likes of MACOM or S7 will be an Aquisition target in 2025
as such imo S7 could easily be a 10+ bagger from today's PPS within 1-2 years

Let's review each of the attributes and see why LWLG's technology is SO SUPERIOR to any/all of them

there goes tedybear again trying to get investors to focus on his misdirection just like a seasoned magician!! Too funny!!!!
The FACT is that Lebby RIGHT NOW has the 200gbs LWLG modulator ready for mass production of 200mm Wafers being implemented at SEVERAL LARGE FOUNDRIES, and Lebby post-OFC meetings in Belgium declared NO ISSUES left to solve!!! here,
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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.

The FACT is that the DEMONSTRATIONS of this device at OFC were so over-the-top successful that the Tier 1's are fighting now for Lebby/LWLG's time, for their Engineers to be working with LWLG Engineers!!! In fact, 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
Oh and BTW, teddybear has practically ZERO understanding of the things he posts here, it is like he is throwing spaghetti up against the wall to see if it sticks!!! Too funny!! KCC already shot down teddybear's newest lame arguments, here
1) That is the correct image from the Google shout out. Zwickel was the reference. The date was 2020 but I think it was just a continuation of the 2018 paper you posted. It’s a slot modulator structure so of course LWLGs pictures and these pictures are going to look the same.
2) LWLG owns the IP for the technology in the 5k hour paper. You gotta peel the onion back on these types of stats to see what may or may not be significant. There’s material only tests, tests on devices, tests on packaged devices. LWLG’s data today is packaged devices that are quasi-hermetically sealed using the ALD and do not require a gold box package for that hermetic seal. Leaps and bounds ahead of that paper.
3) 100% poling efficiency there isn’t what you think it means. There, it means the material r33 stayed the same when they put it into a device. Generally there’s a reduction in r33 “in-device”.

The important thing for investors to focus on is that Lebby is still on-track with his long-standing Timeline to Customer Acceptance and Ramp at 800gbs in 2024!!!!
Lebby has not backed down from his stated SAM/SOM goals and in Belgium discussions my understanding he said these are likely to be increased now!! The SAM/SOM goals match EXACTLY to Lebby's long-standing Timeline for a Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024!!
Lebby provided SAM/SOM GOALS at ASM for 2024 to 2030
I built a detailed financial model using the SOM/SAM information for 800G and 1.6T pluggable transceivers and it shows a $5-10 billion market cap by 2028 using the "base case" SOM estimates.
It's not perfect, but probably the most precise model anyone has put together so far. A big unknown is the COGS and OPEX, but using 80-85% gross margin (like OLED) and knowing LWLG estimates around 50 employees at mass commercialization...it's probably close. My revenue estimates also center around the value of the modulators, and not necessarily revenue had in technology transfer agreements. I'm not sure how those agreements would be priced and if LWLG would offer a discount so to speak since someone else it spending the money in manufacturing.
This is all just for one application and there are endless applications for super small, fast and efficient modulators. Hell, I even found a white paper using a MZM-based sensors used as a "nose" for fermenting coffee and finding the most precise time to stop the fermenting process.
Now - IMO, the company will be bought out well before we ever hit $1 billion in revenue. That's fine with me. OLED hit $10-15B market cap with around $500 million in revenue.

UPDATED!!! ASM Slide 38 "Multi-Level & Cross Functional Engagements"
most people do NOT understand how deeply embedded Lebby is throughout the entire Photonics Industry Food Chain, what this slide is telling investors that when the "Big Silicon Foundries" LWLG is working with (see SNN interview) there is PULL from the End Users which are the Amazon, Google, etc of the world, and the Packaging partners are likely the large Tier 1 Networkers, so when don't be surprised when the market halts news pending and there are SEVERAL large players involved including Foundries & Tier 1 Networkers
Here are some of the "Big Silicon Foundries" that produce on 200mm wafers:
(the bolded Foundries are the most likely as they have been linked to LWLG already)
GlobalFoundries
Hua Hong Semiconductor
Samsung
SK Hynix
SkyWater Technology
SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation)
Tower Semiconductor
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)
UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation)
Vanguard International Semiconductor
X-Fab
The article Synopsis Photonics Solutions posted on LinkedIn was from the PIC Magazine article by Michael Lebby here
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/synopsysphotonicsolutions_article-by-michael-lebby-ceo-lightwave-activity-7181893534705201153-QcJ2/
Synopsys reposted another Lightwave Logic article this morning. Quite interesting that a $90B company has posted about them on more than 1 occasion this week.
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/synopsysphotonicsolutions_200-gbps-heterogeneous-polymersilicon-photonic-activity-7183358130699870208-YQ_U
Synopsis also reposted the article below this morning. Some of the language in the Global Foundries portion of the article seems to resonate with me.
https://www.synopsys.com/photonic-solutions/e-news/2024-march.html#gf
Just going to put this here. Synopsis Foundy Spotlight: GF Fotonix
"Roadmap Solution (excerpt)
The GF Fotonix™ technology is targeted towards inter/intra-data center and photonic compute applications with future extensions planned for ancillary markets such as sensing and LiDAR. The base technology supports O-band based 100G solutions. Plans are in place to support 200G solutions. Future packaging feature enhancements, such as support for thru-silicon vias (TSV), tighter v-groove pitches, tighter pitch CuP and CuRxPads. The technology will also serve as a platform for the heterogeneous integration of novel materials in the future." (LWLG Polymers)
Synopsys has been at multiple LWLG hosted/attended conferences recently, one of the directors was at the San Francisco VIP conference Lebby hosted earlier in the year, they are definitely at the very least collaborating (GFS too)
Just a guess here/speculating:
GFS, Tower/intel, Nokia among a couple others were likely the earlier leads based on white papers. Google a lead based on their recent presentation(not sure if they were old or new) Nvidia based on a repost on LinkedIn I think they’re at least aware but haven’t seen much public connection. I’m sure there’s a few I’m not remembering but the rest I don’t remember any obvious connections. Smart photonics was another one I’ve heard of I think KC referenced them.
In the investor pres at least 5-6 of the logos they show have referenced us in one way or another via whitepapers, presentations, reposts or interview mentions. The rest are quietly looking into this I’m sure
One key piece I liked is he mentioned they are less interested in tech transfer deals, likely only doing those if the 3rd party wants to use it for an auxiliary use such as Lidar which is out of their main focus. Means more money for us long term, likely going a very similar route business wise as OLED, mostly licensing type of deals.

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.

that statement is incomplete!! it should have read, Once a contract is signed Ted lies and his smoke and mirrors will all be moot, and Proto will have been proven to have been 100% correct all along and given investors a chance to participate in the greatest potential investment in their lifetime!!!

Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!
Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!
Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months
1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on large Foundries 200mm Wafers
2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024
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???????
Exactly!! Managed Funds are BUYING LWLG!!!

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!!!
SEV said, how much superior is SEV's chip, that's a really good question that I don't think anyone here has the direct definitive answer to yet
BUT.... I do recall in an interview that RH when talking about S7 ACC's versus the competition, pointing out that S7 chips would very likely be superior because of how complex the innerworkings of the chips actually are, and how much time S7 had spent in perfecting these chips, RH said as such that it would be very difficult for these competitor companies to be at the same level of performance as S7 chips
and could the competitors even replicate the performance without infringing on the S7 patents?
this is why I believe that S7 likely will either be involved in a JV Agreement with the likes of MACOM etc, or ultimately just be an acquisition target
also, I think the problem in the past preventing ACC's from getting implemented has been the extension of the life of the passive DAC (mainly by the developments of the Tomahawk series of Switches), but at 800gbs finally the passive DACS Reach becomes to short at 1.5M to 2M max
First, listen to what Lebby said at Wainright here,
in fact, we are enabling network equipment upgrades without changing the network. You don't have to change the fiber, you don't have to change the equipment. You just put our technology, which is like putting a V8 into a four-cylinder car, and you put it into those little boxes. I don't know if there's a point that works here. And those boxes all fit into the network switches and routers, and that upgrades the equipment without changing the equipment, which is really powerful.

ML indicated that he does not want to work with many small deals that can be quickly closed.
He immediately wants to go for the really big boys, but with those big boys such implementation takes much longer because the contracts are more complex.
In any case, it was clear that LWLG is sitting at the table with heavyweights.

Short Playbook has run out of pages, every Short argument has FAILED miserably, from calling LWLG vaporware to saying it can never be done, it's failed science experiment, it can't be poled, then well except maybe one at a time, then well they'll never be able scale it in a small Foundry, then they'll never be able scale it in a BIG Foundry
ALL THESE ARGUMENTS WERE PURE BULLSHIT!!! And Shorts hired paid bashers galore!!!
But now Lebby commands the driver seat and he's working the largest companies on God's green earth!!! What caused the shift to ONLY pursuing the giant companies? investors already learned the answer to that from the LD Micro interview of what transpired in the first couple months of 2024, that being success at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers perfect for MASS COMMERCIALIZATION of the Google, Cisco, Ciena etc companies, here

Lightwave Logic was instrumental in two chapters of the IPSR-I, serving as co-chair of the "Transceivers" chapter and chair of the "Polymers" chapter. The company also contributed to the "Interconnects" chapter.
This is HUGELY important!!! Why would Lebby being CHAIR of the TRANSCEIVERS section of the Roadmap, for the last handful of years Lebby was only writing the Polymers section!!! It is OBVIOUS that Lebby is now CHAIR of the Transceivers section because LWLG is going to become the UBIQUITOUS heart of Next-Gen internet transmissions!!!
from the IPSR, “TECHNOLOGY FORECAST OF ELECTRO-OPTIC POLYMERS
In the field of active electro-optic polymers, there has been significant technological and commercial progress. There are now commercial companies that are supplying active electro-optic polymer material as well as commercial companies supplying silicon slot and plasmonic slot modulator devices, and devices embedded into photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platforms.”
Yes, indeed investors are learning that LWLG and Lebby are now involved with more than just the Polymer Modulators they can now mass produce their 4x200 devices on 200mm Wafers in several large Foundries!!!
Lightwave Logic Demonstrates Thought Leadership with Critical Contributions to Global Integrated Photonics Industry Roadmap
8:31 am ET April 16, 2024 (PR Newswire)
Integrated Photonics System Roadmap Defines and Creates Future PIC Technology and Systems Requirements for Industry that Span out to 2040
Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, substantially contributed to the recently published "Integrated Photonics System Roadmap - International" (IPSR-I) to accelerate the high-volume commercial manufacturing of high-value integrated photonics over the next decade and beyond.
Led by foundation PhotonDelta and the Microphotonics Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the IPSR-I is based on the highly influential semiconductor industry roadmap that outlined research priorities and has enabled the semiconductor industry to navigate Moore's Law for integrated photonics. These non-competitive industry roadmaps also serve stakeholders, investors and research analysts as a resource for industry trends, research, and commercial opportunities.
More than 400 technology, academic and industrial organizations from around the world contributed to IPSR-I. The IPSR-I describes a route toward building a global, aligned integrated photonics industry with the ability to help solve major societal challenges. It includes a comprehensive overview of major technology gaps for volume manufacturing of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and a detailed analysis of the challenges that the integrated photonics industry needs to overcome to achieve its potential.
Lightwave Logic was instrumental in two chapters of the IPSR-I, serving as co-chair of the "Transceivers" chapter and chair of the "Polymers" chapter. The company also contributed to the "Interconnects" chapter. 'Transceivers' are a critical commercial pluggable optical engine, for example in hyperscaler datacenters, telelcom networks, and high-performance computing. 'Interconnects' focuses on optical fiber links that connect pluggable optical transceivers together for routers, switches, computational systems etc. 'Polymers' focuses on active electro-optic polymers for optical modulators as well as passive polymers that guide and manipulate light in fiber optic communications markets.
"We were privileged to be invited to contribute to the updated IPSR-I to establish and sustain a trust based global network of industrial and R&D partners, working together to create PIC technology and systems requirements," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "These requirements comprise the commercial factors that will compose and grow the accelerating photonics industry going forward for all companies, with our focus on our Perkinamine(R) Electro-Optic polymers. The integrated photonics roadmaps both plan and anticipate commercial opportunities as well as potential roadblocks and/or critical needs on the way to scaling the manufacturing of integrated photonics through 2040. The silicon semiconductor industry has relied on these types of roadmaps for the past 50 years and with IPSR-I, the photonics industry is becoming organized and more influential as well."
"With our first commercial material supply and license agreement for our electro-optic polymer materials and ongoing efforts to build on this commercialization momentum, we continue to believe Lightwave Logic will become a stronger technological and commercial leader in the photonics industry," concluded Lebby.

Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he 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.

Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!
Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several large Foundries on 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!
Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months
1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on large Foundries 200mm Wafers
2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024
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"!!!

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.

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???????
initial take, although highly dilutive, sounds very promising, already oversubscribed, and it sounds like the warrants will be exercised fairly quickly for additional cash raise, the convertible debt is eliminated, and sounds like the ultimate target of raising 24 million will likely be achieved (will have to reread this)
now this sounds more like the PP to fund the 800gbs ramp, that was my initial concern with RH's "modest PP" it reeked of being nothing more than a keep the lights on PP, major goof up to do it like that on first pass they should have done a larger PP showing investors they meant business to have cash to ramp for 800gbs even if it would have dropped PPS from .60 down 50% to .30 to get it done it would have been WAY BETTER than the new .10 raise, but bottom line, investors need be thankful they did NOT pull a RKLY and fold the tents in middle of the night and eliminate shareholders completely
