Wow this computer tracking thing is getting crazy. I get up this morning and this website is in my toolbar. I do not remember ever reading this. Apparently just like the advertisers do they watch what you do and can predict what you are interested in. Weird, actually this appears to be pretty pertinent to what they are doing. Weird, Weird. This was done using the CLD-1 ish that Lumera/Gig had and gave away it died at 160c. The scary thing is that I can almost understand it as Bitz would say, less the math.

I do, But (and I know that you understand) Just because this is a public company and a public message board doesn't mean that we need to have everything about every employee in black and white for folks to google search. Lets just leave it at he was a fine employee, his departure does NOT reflect negatively on Lightwaves technology. The private sector demands are different than academia.
Gotta head South for the day,

A New Measurement Technique from Germany, explains a lot, it will make your head spin but IMO, If this test was around a couple years ago I think AZ would still be in the Picture.

Hey Rich welcome to the other side, feel free to post at will, this is my take on that technology and believe me reading everything out there can boggle the mind.
“To study a new approach to manufacturing crystals for high-power lasers” IMO It is just about lasers, as Fred used to say, (I think you know) lasers will be used to generate a beam of light (Photons) that will travel down the waveguide or through the fiber, Lightwaves tech will break up/alter the properties of that beam.
“ceramic processing of single-crystal material into productive applications” For an intelligent response Proly the best person at Lightwave to ask would be Glasgow because of his time spent at Corning (Former Chief Technology Officer at Corning)and their expertise in ceramics, oh and by the way guys, the last time I checked he is also still working at Lightwave. You heard Z’s comment, “when folks leave they do not actually leave they are still around”
OK next subject not directed at you Rich.
Tis a shame, The internet has changed good people in a few ways, by being anonymous it emboldens many to publicly make personal attacks that they would never do in public (unless they were intoxicated), just as one would never think about butting in front of someone in the grocery store (unless they were intoxicated)but would not hesitate to cut someone off in traffic. Oh and by the way if I had a beef with someone about something at Lightwave (I’ve done the toe to toe thing and made comments both positive and negative) in the past I made the effort to speak to them in person (I also try not to be a pest proly only check in 2 to 4 times Per Year and certainly do not want any inside info) Funny the effect time has on attitudes (and yes the internet has also affected that). Furthermore by being anonymous it is hard to read the actual motivation, attitude, reasoning, situation (spouse, work, events, motivation) blah, blah, blah, behind a particular individual’s statement.
Anywho’s I guess I gotta run, Oh I saw a breathalyzer for PCs on eBay, perhaps I should get one for mine just in case I’m tempted to post if I’m misbehaving and the stock closes down, LOL.
As Forest Gump would say that is all I have to say about that.
Patient as ever.
Love Frickin

OH and my "I’m not sure if this will work" comment was about my diagram I wasn't sure how Ihub would format the drawing, cause you know I'm still a firm believer that this works, but it "ain't easy".
Gotta Run on down the Road.

Someone posted yesterday that they could not get very excited about a Bleach Waveguide Modulator and I agree that even Lightwave said that it doesn’t have a current commercial use, but this is why I think that it is very useful tool, first of all they are made in house so they can make push them to the max voltage, (tear the molecule apart) overheat basically just them screw them up and throw them in trash can and then just build another, OK this is my understanding if I’m wrong I’m wrong but this is my take on it.
If I go back to the shareholders meeting a few years ago and a conversation I had with Fred Leonberger and I’m thinking possibly Bintz (in the lab) too, he was talking about poling above and below the thin film and how the laser passed through, (I think it even bounced back or 45’d or something), that caused me to pause and question, I said I think you mean on the ends poling from the edges of the film don’t you?, he corrected me and said no, this is thin film Above and Below to check the performance of the polymer. Oh I think that even in the lab tours the testing was 90 degrees to the surface. Remember Z with his I don’t care if it works in the lab I want to see it work in a device. OK think about it, Perk in a waveguide will need to be poled from the edges the lightwave will travel down the slot and either through or next to the perk (depending on the width and height of the guide and the thickness of the Perk/Corning) a different ballgame in my mind. Yes, the various configurations of the molecule work on films, now deposit in a waveguide, they did it and it worked, kewl, they even did it with a borrowed modulator. But they are shooting for less voltage remember they are going for less than 1 Volt. At this point this is almost as much about saving energy as it is speed. In my mind this is the reason that the Bleached waveguides are so important and useful, in other words they can show that it can works at a specific thickness, width, voltage, temperature, nm, etc.
I’m not sure if this will work, this is what in my opinion has changed, and hey I could be wrong we have some very talented individuals working on this, do they know it works? Absolutely, now it is all about learning how to control the different parameters.

And yes I agree we all wish that we had all the answers and they could just publish everything that they know, everything that they have found out what works, what doesn't, where the pitfalls are and exactly how they will proceed etc. Academia wise that would be great, I'm just not sure that would be a good thing business wise. It looks like they are going to protect it with the patents on the Core Molecule and keep the others a trade secret.

Kow after hearing Caers question in the SHM I questioned JM about that because there were a fare amount of participants in the last PP from our friends across the pond that IMO would be affected by it. If you participated in that I believe that they have someone willing to hold them that you can deal with, so I’d call Steve. Oh and if any of you cats holding warrants want to sell them send me an email to x993231@yahoo.com (as info I only look at that email once a month or so, send me one and I'll give you a better address). As info anytime anyone participates in PP it is always difficult, certainly it is not as easy as buying and selling on the open market. As info I’m sure that comment wasn’t about Lightwave but the OTC market in general and yes I agree that it can be shady. If in fact the brokers overseas are not going to allow trading of OTC stocks then the entire market EVERY OTC STOCK will get hammered between now and then. As for Lightwave moving up, as I understand it that is one of their long term goals, I think the BOD has enough outside directors (I used to look at it but I haven’t checked on rule changes) for a move but obviously there are other factors preventing that. If Lightwave is not bought out (which I still think will happen, and calm down guys I cannot say short term or long term) then eventually of course they would make a move but I certainly wouldn’t count on it. If I were you I’d call a bunch of brokers and dig into it to find someone that will let you deal in the OTC's. It has been my experience that they may require you to move your assets to their brokerage company.
Of course guys I always look at the positive side of things and like to think they (delays) happen for a reason, others like to look at delays as woe is me, it always happens to me, my life sucks, who can I blame (besides myself), yadda, yadda. So in my world they were able to get the Bleached Waveguide Mod to work at the SHM, they made great advancement in the 6 weeks leading up to the SHM, according to some here the foundry run will arrive in a month or so. I'm hoping that they have advanced/tweaked the molecule based on the Bleached Mod work and that delay will have improved the odds/quality of the next step.
Oh and as for POET, I truly look at that as a pumper/dumper. I posted great post there on that board but the Mods deleted it and said that it has absolutely nothing to do with the technology or market that are working on, go figure. Hey but Pump, N Dumps can be good for short term play so it may be a good quickie move. Watching the other um, never mind,,,,,.
Good Luck, Gotta Run, Life is Good then you Die and that truly does Suck,

As I understand it IMEC is already doing a run for us. "The Company has developed slot waveguide structures that will be one of the basic building blocks of many of our devices we are working on in the first half of 2014. With wafers provided by IMEC, (Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre) in Belgium, we are now in possession of hundreds of chips that are ready to be coated with materials and put into devices. These chips are the basic building blocks of many different device structures in our development effort and having a large supply of them gives us the ability to test and optimize our materials and device designs.
We successfully deposited our polymer materials into other slot waveguides and poled and tested them at high speeds. We were extremely pleased with the initial results and are now analyzing our data and relaying the information back to the chemical synthesis lab to adjust material properties in order to make even further improvements for our IMEC chips. Once again, different devices require slightly different material properties depending on the specific device configurations and applications. Fortunately, we now have core molecules that we can adjust at the periphery."
I think that we are already working with them. Would one you other guys post a lil info on what many of us have all thought was going on in Belgium or should I take some time to go down that path (I haven't looked in month or 2). I'd rather someone else do it so it doesn't look like it just me that figured out that angle. Just throw out the name,
Oh and Proto when I asked that question I didn't get an answer one way or the other. Logically speaking we are in that Final run but I can not say definitively.
Thanks.

That would surprise me because his father just moved here. Last time I looked he had his feet in 2 camps. So you are 100% sure that he has left? I don't have time to look, I was getting ready to post this when I saw your message.
On the Opsis front. A few months ago I was bummed for about a week when I heard about it too, Then I thought about it and it made perfect sense if what we all though happened to Intel actually happened, If they are now in the same group as the others (without any preferential treatment) why would they front the costs. As info a few months back, (in my travels around town) I meet someone is involved in the U of D’s new STAR Campus and in around about way I mentioned Opsis, he did not respond directly but I could tell by his facial expressions something wasn’t right. When I mentioned Lightwave his reaction was slightly different. Take from that whatever you want. Now, pretty much they are not beholden to anyone. Let us hope that George Lauro is able to put us in bed with someone with an agreement that provides additional funds without giving away too much going forward.
G’Day

Took Long enough for that question, it has been out there forever. In fact I asked Z about it as the SHM, he shrugged his shoulders as if to say one less middleman in the picture. I’d bet that we are in kinda tight with IMEC. As I understand it we are supposed to get our run from U of D. as info Opsis was funded by Intel, go figure, like I said games will be played. I think a single run costs about $50k.
X
That’s kind of what I thought a Stock BB was for, I think the frustration is getting the best of some, yep in today’s world 10 years seems like forever so I understand the frustration but backing the Goetzs technology is not nearly as bad as what happened and is still happening to the guys that backed Daltons technology (Lumera/Gig). Shame, Shame Shame. I’m still a believer that Lightwave will get there, always said the road blocks will be many and they certainly have been. Tweak, Tweak Tweak, Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. The guys in the lab are perfecting the process, having outsider’s double check the chemistry, next step, verify again, so on and so forth. Next step apply spin, how long, how fast, next step pole what temp how many volts etc. Remember now they are working from the ends in a device, versus on a film above and below like before. They’ve got it to work, I have no doubt at all that they can repeat, repeat, repeat it. I wonder if they vibrate it when they pole it? Is it hard to wait? Absolutely, but I’m going to let this play out, Like I said the road blocks have been many, yes balls have been dropped, but hey I don’t have any room to complain because I’ve dropped the ball quite few times myself, that is what life’s about. If you are not making mistakes you are not trying hard enough.
Pit currently when I’m buying I’m letting them come to me, the tide will turn but currently that looks like the best approach. Did anyone notice that Bovi participated in that raise? As info Bovi is council, he was at the SHM I was only able to talk for brief few second before the meeting he blew me off and brushed me aside after 2 minutes because he had to make a call, logically speaking I’d guess that it was about the PR that they put out just after that. Oh and I checked, someone questioned Fred Leonberger participation, Uh, he is VERY, VERY active.
We'll all be dead in a fear years, so for now, As always,
I’m certainly not going to speculate publicly, I guess that you’d have to ask Norwood and his affiliates that question, there were so many rumors during all the delays at AZ, shoot it would take Lightwave weeks if not months to make batch, then the university delays, POS feedback loop, remember Miller with his hand on is chin, “I wonder what we did,,, what happened,,,? All I remember was back in the day when he had a very early (dirty I’m sure) version of Perkinamine and Norwood tested it his comment (2nd hand, granted it was hearsay) was “I cannot believe it, those kids did it” referring to Fred Jr. (and I guess Andrew?). I guess that one could ask that question about all of Lightwave’s past affiliates. The important thing is to look at how far they have come from those days, shoot back in the day Jr. thought the spacer system was going to solve the solubility bunching issue, and accelepure was going to clean it, it looks like it took Corning’s Molecules and a Astro Zen chemist, whatever, been a long road. They finally have physically got it to work; now they need to do a deal. How long before they get a bite, only the Lord knows, but the world is certainly bumping up against the physical constraints of current technology, Gig gave away their technology as I always said they would (sorry but I did going back 10 years ago and those guys hated me for saying it) so that was at least 1 thing, LOL that I have going for me.
Look at the progress in the past 2 years, again look at the past 2 years, should it have happened like that 10 years ago, yes that was what I was expecting, but again this is finally moving ahead in a logical business-like manner, once the first deal is inked and the cookie cutter is established IMO many, more deals will follow and somewhere in there Lightwaves side will be taken out with a Green Paper Like or Stock like material that was developed long ago.

I’m pretty sure that I remember (if I read it correctly) BNS is still entitled to a percentage of the sales going forward. Oh Also Meadolark has first right of refusal to produce products/tech developed by BNS, not sure how that fits into the equation either. I’m not saying that there is anything going on here from the merger side but it certainly is a reason to pause do some DD and it most certainly will help BNS focus on NEW technology, new SBIR’s, new defense device initiatives etc. I just wanted to point out that some of that technology was in fact provided by Lightwave and when it was brought to my attention by one of the investors I tried for over a week to piece this together in my mind and because I didn’t see anyone talking about it I threw it out there, if that makes me a bad guy oh well. I guess that we are only allowed to rehash the past, no thank you, I’m a forward looking positive kind of guy, that kind of attitude and outlook day in and day out for years is apparently not for everyone but that is what I bring to the table, sorry (I guess).
Funny we are talking about the switching of light, no make that a specific nm laser in a 100% error free controlled fashion at a million times per second in an area as small as a pin head, it appears that some (including many, many fortune 500’s) underestimated how easy it will be and thought that just because Perkinamine can perform that fast, also is compatible with silicon and CMOS temperatures, was all that was needed (I know I did). Hopefully Perk Plus Corning is the enabling material that will provide the answer. Sorry but I’m still very confident if that makes me bad guy Oh Well, so it looks like others are losing faith, tis OK, proly best for those folks to either medicate or move on and stop beating themselves up daily (or worse yet blaming others for their investment decisions and timeframes in their lives). It is quantum physics and it has been debated for over 100 years, honestly I think they have the answer and are very, very close.
Yes I agree, thanks Rick and to the guys that approached us at the SHM that are silent on the board. After a bit of reading it looks like one of the guys that attended the meeting came in the Monday after to kick in a lil more cash to the company. With the help of others I try to do the best that I can to use my God given talents to post what I can find and I think is relevant, if it makes me a bad guy then so be it, so honestly I guess that is my agenda. I still find the list of investors (Florida in particular speaks volumes)on that raise fascinating. Oh and the cross the pond crowd wow Walter.
Love, Oh HERE YOU GO,
XOXOXOX,
LOL

I'm driving so I can't exactly post. But you have to admit its pretty f in coincidental.
It is kind of weird that their (BNL/BNS) web site remains exactly the same as it did before they spun off that technology. One would think that they would have put out new one; hmmm didn’t Z say that Lightwave was also working on a new one.
http://bnonlinear.com/
For the record I’m not saying anything just that you’d think there would be reference to the sale on there, geez I wonder if something that was going to happen that week didn’t happen. Hmmmmmmm Now what was it again that didn’t happen, OH ,,,,,,,,,,
For the record this is just a guess, I didn’t get inkling from anyone at the company that anything was/is up. Let me see, I think I remember seeing that there are 11 Research cats left there, and I wonder what they are doing with the money? Well if nothing else it is always good to hope, I wonder how something like that would be structured?
Rhetorically speaking of course.

Oops the BNS Purchase Order actually Feb 2014...
Check the dates on the BNS - Meadowlark Optics thing again. And when they announced it.
"In February 2014 we received our first purchase order for our advanced organic nonlinear electro-optic (EO) polymer from Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) of Boulder, Colorado in connection with the development of a next generation LADAR system. It is a radar system that utilizes a pulse laser to calculate the distance to a target, but is also capable of rendering a 3-D image."
"In April 2014, we entered into a sole worldwide license agreement with Corning Incorporated enabling us to integrate Corning's organic electro-optical chromophores into our portfolio of electro-optic polymer materials. The agreement allows us to use the licensed patents within a defined license field that includes communications, computing, power, and power storage applications utilizing the nonlinear optical properties of their materials. As a result of obtaining this license agreement, we created a new powerful and durable nonlinear organic electro-optical (EO) material that will be used in photonic device development and is based on our new multi-chromophore approach that allows two or more chromophores to work in concert. This multi-chromophore system has achieved a 50% increase in chromophore concentration, leading to higher electro-optical activity when compared to an equivalent single chromophore system. Further, the system does not cause the high chromophore density loading issues such as reduced effective electro-optic activity due to a non-uniform concentration of chromophore in the polymer host. Repeated, multi-point measurements multi-chromophore system shows twice the electro-optic effect of Lithium Niobate with excellent durability."
"Meadowlark Optics (Meadowlark) is pleased to announce that on July 13, 2014, Meadowlark acquired the Commercial Products Group of Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS)."
This was announced Aug 18th...20th Share Holders Meeting was Thursday the 21st. Coincidence? Perhaps?
X
I do not know, it sounded like possibly because during the meeting Z said something to the effect raise + (plus) other recent funds or something. IMO Lincoln park currently a necessary partner, many folks (short term guys) keep shooting (the long term guys)in the foot and selling it under a Buck, whatever that is part of the game.
I'm still saying a buyout will happen especially now with the Bleach mods proving, ah whatever.
That BNL thing, possibly something there?
X
That is simply a procedure to register the shares to be free to trade, typically one has to do this themselves, the company just did it for them, it doesn't mean that they will sell them. It is up to the individual if they sell or not. Some may sell but first they have to find someone to take the paper, more importantly look at the who participated and ask yourself, if the stock was at like 80 cents (they could have just bought it on the street which is much easer), these guys are in for the Warrants which means they see it north of $1.00.
Most of those individuals already owned shares so if they were going to sell they would simply sell the shares they already owned.
IMO in the event of a buyout those holding paper probably will physically just surrender the paper for a check which is what I think many will do wait until the end. I could be wrong but nobody on that list has what they need today even if they wanted to.
P. S. These offerings tend to confuse many.

Eric and John, hopefully they are making more headway and I dare say famous some day.
It has been almost a month so I better say something before it becomes old news.
Who was the company that Lightwave worked with for a couple years then in 2013 they first sold their material to? Oh that’s right it was BNL.
http://www.lightwavelogic.com/lightwave-logic-to-generate-initial-sales-of-organic-nonlinear-polymer-to-the-university-of-colorado-in-support-of-boulder-nonlinear-systems-sensor-development/
So it may be totally unrelated but any comment about Boulder Nonlinear Move selling off their old SLM technology after all along with the SBIR's it was their bread and butter?
Check the date, coincidence? I forget what I was doing then.
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/26306040/meadowlark-optics-acquires-commercial-products-business-unit-from-boulder-nonlinear-systems
It may be totally unrelated but in any event they will absolutely be more focused on R & D.
X
IMO you are close but your sentence needs a few different words in there, uh kind of, and the students were working on the 2nd order Bleached mod. So yes Odd I think you are missing one thing in there. I told myself I wasn't going to post anymore but then, uh someone brought something to my attention so I glanced back through the past few posts to see if anyone was close. IMO it is Hard to say how it would be structured.
Oh I see one of the Wiz Bang Valu Engine stock guys downgraded us, I doubt he can even come close to explaining the science. and probably can not spell chi3 as I can not either.
The board has recently took a turn into something that I can not really explain. It is not really about what the Goetzs created but more about, folks couple of month time frames, not the, ah never mind.
I'm going to do my best to not post and let others wiz bangs with a different time frame point the way.
Good Luck Gang, I can assure you that I have a buy order in but I'll be patient as the sentiment since the SHM is down. Come to PaPa.
I'm finally starting to feel better been 2 months or so, how I/we missed this, LOL. I'm blaming it on my illness/lack of mental capacity. I swear I'm such a woos baby. I could not even spell 8K during the shareholder's meeting and when my garmin quit working out there because of the heat, lol whatever. I'm almost back, I'm going to do my darndest not to take it personal and keep to myself. Sometimes others blame me for their decisions.
X
OK I've got to run I'll read it when I get a chance, as info the EPA is "Federal" Not "State" Controlled. Hey I could be wrong, I posted 4 months ago all the sudden now it is my fault for posting and I need to shut up. The permitting process for the Mine but more importantly the Processing Plant and the final resting place for the 99% (for the record, I think that the state will let them put it back in the mine), IMO the permits for the processing will be a real challenge, Unless they ship it out of the country, perhaps Mexico or something is what, IMO will take years and years. I asked that question and did not receive a response. Unless you get the Feds behind this it will be a tough row to hoe.
Sorry again You Brought it up, Not Me.
X
So let me get this straight, set the clock back 8 to 10 years ago, the Goetzs loose a contract with the government and are looking for investors, I and others do as much as we can to digest the quantum physics and see if it is B.S., after some DD many jump in, I certainly made the call out to the Lumera shareholders told them it looks flawed, they sell that tech to Gig and are immediately hammered look what Gig did with it. Meanwhile Lightwave is working away the have C.C. Teng who invented the R33 test, he cannot believe what he sees, On and on, Numerous universities test it and cannot believe the results but they also cannot explain it. We have Smith and J.M. we move to change the mgmt. and get it, we ask Zelibor to take over, he calls immediately for changes, new lab etc, and calls for it to work in a device (don’t explain it make it work) and Miller convinces them to switch from just making chromophore to become a device company so they could “Control the market” Makes Perfect Logical sense to me. Fast forward to today, they convinced Corning to give them their IP (Details of that agreement are not available) they just made it work in another companies modulator, they just made it work in a Bleached waveguide mod, they have runs coming from IME and IMEC and have cut out 90% of the middlemen and are creating new Chromophores in short order. Joe Miller Snr Mgmt from Corning, Corning’s CTO on and on they would not be here. They understand Optics, 2 or 3 years ago Miller said, “it doesn’t matter if we are still working on it, the world isn’t ready for it. Well now he says, the world is ready for it. Hey you guys can doubt the Polymer/Plastic/Dye controlling light next step Moores law and say that I’m wrong because it has taken a long time, I’m not giving up, No How, No Way and Certainly Not Now. Sounds like they are now playing the players against themselves. Furthermore I don’t think that Z likes middlemen, that is what it looks like to me.
You guys can have a meltdown, I’m not. I’m glad you guys are all doing well on the Nio thing, honest, but that doesn’t change this science, it has been a long road, funny how many folks give up on success just before it happens.
Have I been wrong on timing, heck yes but billions were spent by fortune 500s and Gave up. They are So Close, they have something to show, they have package out there now...... whatever, I'm Super Confident.
Love X
He is still there, Listen Very Closely to the call. You know exactly why that move was made, it was better not to make that deal than to make a bad one. Most would have done the bad deal so as not to loose face.
Good Luck Buz.

Wow, just got back from the beach, What the heck is going on with the board? It certainly looks like some are intentionally trying to scare, freak out others, like stating something and all of the sudden it is fact. I’m not going to elaborate… going for the self fulfilling prophecy thing I guess.
Just ah, never mind, this will happen when it happens I wouldn’t look for the shares to be available at reasonable prices when news is announced, I cannot believe how nervous some are getting when they have made so much progress recently.
I agree Ducky, with the news we just heard “the odds of success have increased since the meeting, now it is 80% from 60%.”
It kind of reminds me of the flash in the pan Lumera/Gig days, back in the day just be careful of who you are following folks. 90% of management at Lightwave has backgrounds very relevant to this science yet some think they know better. The SHM was meant to be more of looking forward business thing than an explanation of the science. Remember they are only now dealing at CTO Senior V.P. levels, the first one will get the best deal, the 2nd 3rd and 4th will have it a lil tougher. IMO The time of photonics is upon us.
Oh proto as info the moderators can look back at the deleted messages to see who deleted it and what the reason was. Should the poster disagree they can appeal it to Ihub. If it abused they will take care of it, I looked back and didn’t see any recent deletions of yours, most were duplicates of mine.
That talk about IP and the need to protect it brought me back to something Fred Jr. said before his accident, something that he had stumbled across. I just wonder,,,
I hope everyone had a good holiday, I AM NOT WORRIED, funny how those that attended are confident.
X
No thank you, those long days are a brutal and I think F2’s and Walter’s were worse than mine but obviously the value added in attending was worth it. I went over and spoke to the students about it and tried to get the voltage/R33/Speed, Wavelength,,, something,,,, they were saying how they changed up the waveguide, I could have sworn they said they poled it differently, (again sick and fuzzy head) and were playing with the variables in arranging the materials, technical speak, then Bintz cut in La, La, La shhhh, Lol, I’m glad he did because I really don’t want to know. Bintz did say something about the other teams (I found that curious) Then I asked the students if they were planning on staying in the Rockies (Hint, Hint motivate, make a name for yourself), the one was from the Canadian Rockies I told him a story about sneaking up on an Elk for an hour to get a close up picture only to find that they are not scared of humans, and how I couldn’t find a mountain goat after 2 days in the woods so I took a picture of this sign with a picture (I left out the caption, about the salts they lick) so my wife would think I saw one and let us move on to Grizzlies and Wolfs in our quest, I gave them a brief background of the various players in the room. Anyway, yes the fact that they got it to work and Z stood before us a few years ago and said that he just wanted it working in a device,, ok did I ever in my wildest dreams think that it would take this long, heck know. But they did it. As I understood it the students went in that morning and confirmed it took a screen shot and sent to Mgmt. (I think it was done at least the night before). IMO I think these guys are 100% dedicated, they are performing to the best of their god given abilities, I know that I for one have many weaknesses, so I’m not going play Monday Morning Quarterback. Do I wish it was done yesterday, yep, will I sell, or just hang around and think of ways to try and plant doubt in others, Nope, IMO it doesn’t help anything. Funny how the guys that attended are positive and some of those that didn’t attend or vote are, ah never mind. Funny Bintzs hair reminded of Fred Jr.’s.
Lol the new Pic Buz.
Have a Good Weekend, the weather looks great.

This phone app sucks
I know you don't. As Forrest Gump would say that's about all I have to say about that. Scope we are far and away better off now than we've ever been. Yet the negativity it's kind of weird.
I put a my order in this morning to try and soak up some of that gravy.

I know you don't scope. We are better off now than we've ever been yet the negativity it is kind of weird. I've got a buy order in so that's what I'm thinking

Wow I just put something together, interesting. Yep 2, I guess I was right, not elaborating, glass houses throwing stones.
I continue to learn something every day here, be it about life, investing, human nature, patience, impatience, science, business on this 10 year venture. Shoot I wanted to look at the list of shareholders at the meeting and I forgot. I found it interesting when I asked the official (Broadrige I think) rep. if he could drill down and tell him how or if I voted my Fidelity shares he could not, my comment was "well I guess it doesn't matter as long as we've got enough" he did not comment. His comment was that Lightwave Mgmt could not see either.
It will be interesting to see how this is interrupted. Buz if you give up your Mod spot I bet F2 would like it.

Well they’ve got runs from 2 foundries, they’ve got it to work in a bleached Modulator, they got it to work in someone else’s Modulator. They have the software; they’ve reduced the feedback loop, they are working on the clean room, numerous partners reviewing the package they put together, enough cash to last through next year. New Digs in CO. a few new banging board members. There is no way I’m giving up them, not now, no how, no way. We hoped and prayed for this for years and years. Bought a few thousand today just to put my money where my mouth is. Sorry but I’m happy as a clam and anyone that has never made a misstatement, cast the first, ah never mind.

I did it in my head at a red light when I saw the K, Like I said I'm sick so what ever. Just quote the appropriate guidelines for us and post it in black and white. Someone mentioned super majority at the SHM but I don't remember seeing it, I'd guess that it is in the articles of incorporation but I could be wrong, too busy to look.
What a Great Year

I'll be down Friday, how did you make out in the Marlin tournament?
X
I certainly think so. In my haste I may have grabbed a wrong set of number but it is still close, very close. Oh well I did my best so I can not blame myself, on second thought I may have been able to scrounge up about 200k extra but oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. Looking forward to device news in the near term, heading to the beach, still sick though, think it is Lyme started that regiment of antibods, no sun so I guess I'll have to spend more time at the beach bar.
X O matic
So it was only a matter of 763,150 Votes that it missed by?
1 or 2 decent sized shareholders could have tipped it.

Gees that sucks. Oh well I guess they will have to do it again.

See ya Buz, been a long road and being miserable is not a good way to live life, kinda like working at a job that one hates, it just makes coworkers miserable, I used to shake my head at the guys at the coffee machine and wonder why they didn't get another job. Good Luck, I'm staying the course, hopefully we'll stay above a buck until they start inking deals but if not, oh well, Our time will come, just not sure when. The grass certainly appears greener over there, the question is, is it really, (400 million is kinda a big deal) I'm still not chasing that one. Open Pit just looks too easy and they are currently running a train 3,000 miles across the Canada and the U.S. then past my house from Alberta every 2 hours because they don't want a pipe line in the ground because it is supposed to be better for the environment, go figure, If the government gets behind that it will fly high, one group of.... , ah never mind, good luck.
Don't get mad at me guys, just responding to a post here.
See Ya, Been Real

Just a thought, over the next 6 months as the word gets out we should see volume increasing in even numbered small blocks (5k to 10k) that historically we didn’t see. IMO these will be from folks catching wind of what we have and perhaps hinting to others what is on the horizon. If anyone has time and is well versed in the stock monitoring software or excel and chart wizard could you grab the volume numbers starting about six months ago import them and throw a trend line on there and see if the volume line is pointing north. My theory would be that starting about a month ago even if a particular company is not doing a deal with us, if we truly have something outside folks will buy into this technology. Eventually this increase in buying activity will push the price higher however there are folks here as evidenced by the recent posts from long time investors that are moving on to chase other grass is greener over there today opportunities so those shares will need to be absorbed first, they will be back ;). At this time I’m more interested in the volume and the size of the bids than I am the share price. Not sure if this makes sense, when I get a chance I’ll look at it.
Gooday

Not sure what kind of software they are measuring it with, not sure that it matters, I’D assume that modulation is modulation, the students just told me they took a picture of the screen that morning and sent it to Z. I’d assume that it is just a scope with a screen, but I could be wrong.
The software that they were excited about is apparently (I’m guessing that Bintz did it) Algorithms that are able to calculate the results of the various mixtures of chromphohores before they make a batch, pretty cool. The more data they get the more accurate it will be so I’d assume that if one is looking for result of Y, wavelength Q, with voltage of X eventually they will just have to run it until it spits out the answer, then the lab in Delaware can produce it, (I'm oversimplifying it)
I finally had a chance to view the presentation, I thought they did a good job on it.
Z said that he is Not overstating the opportunities for joint development “very significant partners over the past 1 . 5 months popping up”. 1.5 Months Guys that is how long we have been on their screen, (Lauro told me that the bigger guys will be slower to decide than the medium sized customers, so I'm looking for a medium company deal first.)
Incredible purity and consistency and can produce grams per batch.
Durability was referenced by both Z and Miller.
Inorganics are NOT compatible with slot waveguide modulators.
22 million broker non votes, (that is lot)

Sorry for posting so many times yesterday (first time I maxed out, I was trying to work and post using verbal commands proly not a good idea). The 4-14 hour work days and the 18 hour marathon day to get out there (because I worked that day) along with being sick, (still am) had me short on patience. But hey enough about me, quit whining. So how can I add some meaningful value here, The one conversation that surfaced in my head this morning is when I was speaking with Joe Miller, (what a nice, I mean super nice, honest to goodness real person and smart, the Real Deal if you would, success has not gone to his head) when he speaks, folks listen. So he is talking about how fiber can handle (pretty much) handle a limitless amount of data however the devices are the limiting factor and that is what Lightwave is addressing. Then he started talking about combining the chromophores and how they can alter the performance. I kept standing there and saying to myself “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt” but finally the X got the best of me when he finished I said so how about the software can it predict the performance of the chromophore mix before the lab makes a batch does it work?, That Is When He Said “Yes It Does And That is a Big Deal”, if you could have seen the smile on his face, his grin was from ear to ear. I then asked what about this Bleached Chromophore Modulator will that help, he said something to the effect that the device itself does not currently have a commercial use but it will be used to demonstrate the performance to future,,,,,,but that he didn’t want elaborate and we’d hear more on that. The smile is What Can Not Be Telegraphed You had to be there in person. OK so we need to understand is that over the years they were struggling with repeatability, predicting the performance and proving the performance, as I understand it they can do that now. That Is Truly a Big Deal. I’m not sure how many batches of the same mix they need to do to prove the repeatability that is probably the next step.
For those that approached me during the meeting I would like to say Thank You, I’m humbled and yes above all honest and just trying to do what I can to call a spade a spade.
Now I’m going to watch the presentation because honestly my physical and mental state has that entire portion of the day as a blur.
Oh, You go F2 I was as impressed with your questions, your grasp of the technology at this meeting as I was with inversor at the last.
