I like the direction we're speaking about. Like the dawn of a new era.
Rock on, brother!
Mr. George Lauro (I believe is doing the marketing)
Mr. Lauro has 25 years of experience as a technology entrepreneur, operating executive and venture capitalist. He was a Managing Director at Wasserstein Perella, and head of West Coast technology investing. He has led and syndicated 18 private equity financing rounds and control deals, raising over $100M equity financing for portfolio companies and completed over $1 billion in M&A transactions.
After attending Brown (BSEE), the Wharton School (MBA) and MIT (graduate studies aeronautical engineering), Mr. Lauro began an extensive and varied career in the hi-tech industry holding positions primarily focused on the commercialization of emerging technologies. He served as the Director of Technology Commercialization at IBM where he was responsible for transitioning technologies from research labs to the market. Also, he was the Director of New Business Development for Motorola. Mr. Lauro has previously served on numerous corporate boards of both public and private technology companies.
Odd and Coolair...odds are 50/50 as to which of your guesses are accurate. I hope and agree with Cool but unfortunately Odd might be right.
Either way, I hope those college students Buzz mentioned are working hard.
Well said...eom
I don't like to hear that Six...I don't know which way this is going to go but I enjoy you being part of it.
I think we're all experiencing the post ASM doldrums...we allowed our expectations to rise too high prior to and now we feel let down. Understandable. Stay positive, my friends...let's see what's around the next bend...
Good question...I believe it was TZ at the ASM that said he was disappointed the vote didn't carry. I would have thought mngt would have communicated the importance of it passing and initiated another vote quickly. Only thought is that according to their timetable it wasn't needed in near term...only for future...and they feel they can address it later.
"The provided analysis can easily be extended to study the influence of surface treatments and buffer layers on the silicon substrate, which are viable routes to improve the electro-optic coefficients of hybrid silicon-polymer systems."
Yeah, I've been getting the stink eye too.
Come on you college students!!!!! Less beer, more perk!
Wise you're cracking up...get a handle on it brother.
Or a least light the way when I head down the same path!
I think many of us have reevaluated our positions in LWLG since the ASM. Many have gone from positive to questioning. Management's next communication better not be a "blurb" designed to pacify.
Agreed Proto...we've been enjoying the silence for too long.
If Obama's in our camp, we should be all set right? Dancing in the streets next month!
Nice find Six! eom
Thanks Rick and Man.eom
SS, I think 70% of us feel the same as you and are in a similar situation.
Thanks Rick...I find this abstract familiar...Is this similar to the path LWLG is on? If yes, that indicates to me it's the right path. Or am I too ignorant of this tech?
Abstract
An amorphous film of the third-order nonlinear optical material DDMEBT was spun onto silicon chips for the first time, filling 80 nm lithographic features. A 710 µm2 device was designed, fabricated, and tested that acts both as a nonlinear resonator switch and as an input/output grating coupler to a perfectly vertical single mode fiber. Autocorrelation and spectral measurements indicate the device has <1 ps response time, 4 nm of switching bandwidth, and 4 dB of on/off contrast. With sufficient power, this all-optical device can potentially modulate a single optical carrier frequency in excess of 1 THz.

Rick, that link didn't work for me...it say's "The connection was reset"
Any idea?
Thanks Rick for insight...eom
Gates and Coolair...see this pdf please.
Gates and Cool brought this up.
Good info on Opsis...
https://www.si2.org/events_dir/2014/PIC_WS/02_OpSIS.pdf
Haha, touche SS.
Reading this board, of late, coupled with the volume, makes me feel like I'm going insane...or in purgatory....
Proto, I believe you've created a monster....
Good idea SS....I hope they respond.eom
Longmont, CO, voted 31st best city to reside in, in US...Nice...
Goeie avond gentlemen...I'll be the first to sign up once Lwlg is goed....in fact I just ordered Flemish 101 by Rosetta Stone! I have much respect for Dutch, Belgium, German, etc. investors...my impression is that they are diligent and don't usually throw their money away when they believe they are on to a good thing. Go Liverpool!
Just teasing Walt...wanted to see who would bite.
Flemish is a very odd language, don't you think?
Thanks Rick for looking into it and your thoughts.
The article I referenced was in Dutch or Flemish I believe...click on link then right click "translate to English".
Thanks Proto
Actually, here is the article I was talking about...
IBM wants to use silicon for optical interconnects
By Willem de Moor , Tuesday, February 5, 2013 16:38 , comments: 21 , views: 7,267 • Feedback
Together with an electronics supplier IBM has developed a material that can replace copper. Motherboards in May be, which makes optical interconnects possible. No longer with electrons but with photons connected with the new material would
To make ever faster circuits and faster communication manufacturers look for ways to replace photons electrons. Which are much faster than electrons, but the integration of optical elements in electronic circuits has always been a thorny issue. However, IBM has put an important step towards the use of optical interconnects instead of koperinterconnects for PCBs. Together supplier Dow Corning Electronics, The company demonstrated a material that is able to guide light and can serve as optical printing jobs' for PCBs.
The material for the so-called wave guides, or light guides, is composed of a polymer with silicone, not to be confused with the silicon chips. The silicone waveguides are flexible and resistant to high temperatures, up to about 85 degrees Celsius. The angles at which the material can conduct light are about 1 mm in size, with the light scattering would be very low. According to Eric Peeters, vice president of Dow Corning Electronics, the material in the short term can replace koperinterconnects.
The optical interconnects must not only be able to transport large amounts of data but are also more efficient than electrical connections. Especially in supercomputers and data centers would optical interconnects traditional electronic connections must be replaced. The material of IBM and Dow Corning Electronics would also be suitable to be processed in PCBs and can withstand the heat generated by soldering.
Thanks Man...Yes Full, it's from 2/2013. Can any of our timeline experts fit this into the IBM, Corning, LWLG puzzle? Might be of no help, but I found it interesting to see the collaboration
Rickface...Would you mind taking a look at this article and letting me know if you find it meaningful.

IBM and Corning mentioned. Probably need to translate it to English.
I remember a comment or visual saying "Lightwave Logic Inside"...or something to that effect. Any opinions on why that term would be used?
I don't believe mngt would risk stepping on the toes of a competitor if they needed them.
No hurry. Thx
Steve....can you post this sticky once you and Odd edit it,so we can keep track please. Thx to you both.
I agree with your argument Coolair. Unfortunately or fortunately I think you are right.
Let's have the new vote and get moving on this people.
Quick thanks to those that spared the time and expense to attend the meeting and share their impressions with the rest of us. It's appreciated.
Thanks Walt, for your take on the meeting.
