Because they used Cornings name and not "fortune 500" or Tier 1 or some such vague term and I saw it on the various Corning BB's. I can not speak to their web site.
These days you can not name other companies directly in a press release without their blessing, when I checked a few years ago you could not include names without permission.

Na Gates I’m fine, yes I just get tired of explaining the same thing over and over again. Sometimes I think that Z should wear a shirt that says “I pooped today” so some know that he did something, as for myself I think that he is “balls to wall” working on this from many different angles….. Lol. Do I think they could have done a better job explaining the Corning deal? Heck yes, but remember that they did a joint release so I’m sure that played into what they could say. Our time will come, I don’t put any weight on the current PPS, and it looks like we have a seller that just keeps hitting the bid (like a monkey getting more crack), so I don’t blame the buyers they look pretty smart, the trading is what it is, trading, it will not change the science. IMO we’re good and one of these days I think that we will see a Matrix (if that is right word) of the various configurations of Lightwaves Family of Chromophores.
No I do not think that there is problem with Lightwaves Chromophore, I think that the wording in the release has led some to doubt it but I don’t.
I’m all good, in fact I’ll be buying again in couple weeks so I hope it stays down here or even goes lower, I’m not selling and I know everyone hates it when I say that but I like buying on the cheap.

Going forward as devices roll out this looks like a good tool to understand the jargon.
http://www.rp-photonics.com/encyclopedia_a.html
We’re good and yes Rick I agree the rollout of photonics, this industry as whole is just getting starting and we are at the beginning, actually before the beginning, this entire sector will take off as the word gets out and Lightwave will get swept up in it. I’m still expecting a buyout somewhere along the line, I’ll bet you that Corning has first dibs or rights to a piece of that pie when an offer comes in. Bidding wars are fun when they happen, like Chum Lee at an auction.

Thanks for the insightful relevant post, who says that you have to have less money than someone else to work for them, what the heck does that have to do with it? If you enjoy what you do and want to leave your mark it isn't work, it is play, you are not doing it for the money but for pleasure.
Whatever, sometimes I wonder.
Have a good day, gotta Run

According to BS, Lightwave has been working with Corning's materials for 1 year, IMO that is huge, that is the reason for the provisional patents. I'm betting that it may be the other way around and that Lightwave may be working on the come and funds will flow from Corning, in other words this just didn't happen overnight, BS stated that they have been working for a year so IMO in January they nailed it, hence the provisional patent news. We'll see but IMO Corning needs what lightave has in order to make a crap load of their patents work.
It will be interesting to see the future of the funding, if we cut ties from LPC that will say it all. At that time LPC will have all the reason in the world to let this Fly High so they can profit that is why they are here, Win, Win.

After sleeping on this and thinking about statements made to date, the time frame and this particular statement in the recent K. “In July 2012 we entered into an agreement with The University of Colorado, Boulder to conduct analytical testing and to carry out studies that will give a better understanding of the properties of a new class of composite organic electro-optic materials. This class of materials is our Perkinamine Indigo TM . The processing and measurements were carried out primarily at the university’s Guided Wave Optics Laboratory (GWOL). The work was completed in close collaboration with Company personnel. It was determined a new synthetic chemistry and material process methodology was needed for consistent and repeatable results. That methodology was announced in January 2014".
I’m wondering if we are not looking at a new paradigm (if that is the right word) something that doesn’t play by the rules written by the folks that are used to working materials available to them today and doesn’t or hasn’t worked (OR they would have it in a device), but because those are the only rules they know they see the world through those parameters and that is what they live, die and get funded by, Like D.C. electricity vs. A.C. Electricity. That would make it possible for Norwood to be right with his thinking, Dalton to be right back in the day when IMO he pulled Lightwave funding and gave it to Lumera/Gig, Explain why EM failed so quickly, BS could be correct with stating that he couldn’t get high r33s, Teng who created the Teng-men measurement and was in this early then went by the wayside long ago apparently because he couldn’t add anything else. How many times have we heard Z say, I don’t care about the numbers does it work or not, “I need a device” Well The material worked in a device and worked well, AND it was not even Lightwaves device yet the R33 numbers according to BS were not good, but it still outperformed current mods by 3 times with lower voltage. It would also explain Bintzs “but we have some interesting properties that we could trade off” he also said “We now have the flexibility of a nanoscale molecular “range of color” that allows us to adjust the absorption properties of the EO polymers to address the individual frequency requirements of specific applications”. Sounds like it works to me. Is it possible that these chromophores are working differently than the way the science is looked at today? Just like A.C current Vs. D.C. current? It is just a thought, zero science behind my thinking just trying to piece everything together, take everyone at face value as being honest. You can bet there that there is more to this than we can understand.
Again read this and think about it, “In July 2012 we entered into an agreement with The University of Colorado, Boulder to conduct analytical testing and to carry out studies that will give a better understanding of the properties of a new class of composite organic electro-optic materials. This class of materials is our Perkinamine Indigo TM . The processing and measurements were carried out primarily at the university’s Guided Wave Optics Laboratory (GWOL). The work was completed in close collaboration with Company personnel. It was determined a new synthetic chemistry and material process methodology was needed for consistent and repeatable results. That methodology was announced in January 2014.”
BS I’m sure can run circles around this post I’m just looking at this from a Westinghouse/Tesla A.C. current vs. Edison D.C. current conventional thinking.
Remember when you hire someone smarter than you prove that you are smarter than them angle, but you have to listen to them.
Oh and Stevey, Yup Miller shepherded Corning through a lot of those innovations, the man is not stupid, remember not only did he retire from Corning but he gave up all of his BOD seats, I'm sure for that to happen he had to see something truly innovative here. Remember Gore-Tex and DuPont, this is like DuPont giving it up yet still benefiting.
X
Proto BS claims that they have been working with Corning for the last Year and one of those 2 patents may contains some of their ish I think GLW had trouble with stable material, one thing Lightwave has is stability.
Oh to answer you questions I have a pornographic memory, so the answers are yes I do and yes I do.
When you sit back and look at the big picture, Corning, Opsis, the new Opsis personnel, folks that have left Corning, Foundries, DOD, and the extent that some go to discredit etc., I think that there is much more going on than we know about. Honestly I think that some of the players that we don’t think are in the game are still in it, (it just backs off us hound dogs from barking around their trees), keeps us from, well you know what I’m saying. Time is wearing many out, there is not much that can be done about that. These guys are far and away smarter than any of us give them credit for; they are business types, not academia types, different game by far.
Like I said I’m not going to sit around 24x7 and bite my figure nails, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong and I’ll lose a crap load of money, we have certainly done our homework. Could Lightwave be lying to us, could Corning just be doing this because they don’t have anything better to do, could BS just want to save us from ourselves, could Leonberger, Miller, Glasgow, (shoot they have forgotten more than most of us will ever know), and on and on be fooled, I don’t think so. Buzzy check out the Corning patents and spooks Mingqian He dude of dudes see what he has been up to, I think this may help those that do not see the bigger picture here.
Proto The other item was in reference to an optical switch, the word “a sponsored research agreement” is now used, it used to say and a potential partner or something like that, not sure who is sponsoring it, it could be us, you never know, I think that one might be big bro, spooks can proly figure it out if he wants to.
I could argue all of this stuff one way or the other, but I chose to believe that what they know what they have , A.C., D.C. ish.
And Yes c3po that video a “day in glass”, gorilla glass, on an on the groundwork was all laid out during the tenure of the players named above, some smart cats they are, they think outside the box and around the bend for sure. Joe Miller is credited with saving that company.

This was 1 of the 2 things that I noticed that I didn’t want to post, cats out of the bag now, I was worried one of you guys would call them up or something.
2012 10K
For the past two decades, diverse corporate interests, including, to our knowledge, IBM, Lockheed Martin, DuPont, AT&T Bell Labs, Corning, Honeywell and 3M, as well as numerous universities and U.S. Government Agencies, have been attempting to produce high-performance, high-stability electro-optic polymers for high-speed (wide bandwidth) telecommunication applications. These efforts have largely been unsuccessful due, in our opinion, to the industry's singular adherence to an industry pervasive engineering model known as the Bond Length Alternation ("BLA") theory model. The BLA model, like all other current industry-standard molecular designs, consists of molecular designs containing long strings of atoms called polyene chains. Longer polyene chains provide higher electro-optic performance, but are also more susceptible to environmental threats, which result in unacceptably low-performing, thermally unstable electro-optic polymers.

So that told me one of 2 things, either we were under an NDA so we couldn’t publicly post knowledge or Corning had developed something, looks like a combination of the two. That is why I was asking BS the other day about Cornings polymers, but he didn’t respond.
The fact of the matter is that none of us checker players are going to figure out this chess match, (well friggin spooks might), but it sounds like BS while once on the inside is now on the outside looking in and doing his darndest to try and convince us that the 250 material that anyone can buy is the answer. Honestly I haven’t a clue but if it was why wouldn’t it cost more and why doesn’t it work in devices apparently there is flaw in that material. Last I heard the LSS wanted 100-125.
Looking at this I’d guess that Perhaps down the road a new entity could be formed going forward but I haven’t a clue, Corning, Dow Corning, Dow. How that would get structured is anyone’s guess, I wonder if there is a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) in the chips?
Here is something a little different in the applications “power storage applications”
Who knows what this will bring guys but I’d say it sounds good to me and explains what the BOD options were about and what they working on, well um, one of the things.
When the market swings in this direction and investors “get it” we’ll be off and running, I’m not sure what it will take. Like I said finally they are operating in a logic fashion like a business as for the past you can hash it over everyday and play Monday morning quarterback if it makes you feel better, but as for me, not so much.
IMO Lightwave is not going lay a card down until it is the proper time to lay the card down, Z is cautious, he came after JM and he inherited it from Fred Jr., no doubt if Fred Jr. or Sr. were still in the game this would have moved faster but we are off and running now.
Believe me this was put together for a REASON, there is specific goal, we my not know why until it is time.
Oh and now we know where Miller was coming from with his "thoroughly vetted the science" comment that he made in a recent press release, I can not imagine how much work must have gone into this.
X
Perhaps Jim and Tom were on a bender and just decided to build it for no reason.
Or a requirement........
We talked about that testing years ago, the need for a new protocol (I don't know if that is the correct word) I'm not a scientist, whatever guys I guess many do not remember those conversations. BS is good at muddying the water, bringing up history as if it is a current event and making some chase their tail. He wouldn't spend time here if they were not onto something, I think he missed the ship and it trying to justify his decision.
Now I really Really gotta run.
X
Oh and I know that many are frustrated so I'm not taking any comments to heart if you know what I mean, it won't bother me and I promise that I won't remember any derogatory comments or hold them against anyone, I gots my big boy pants on.
No, but complaining publicly won't change anything, if you think the train going to run you over get out of the gauge (get off the track). I'm just not going to sit here and spend time that frustrates me. But if makes you guys feel better k, have at it, I'm still a believer. It cracks me up to think that many say no X we don't want to get cashed out, but then try to second guess and micro manage every facet of the business.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Gotta Run
I would not discount 100% what BS says but he certainly has an agenda and is most definitely disgruntled, he purports to be well connected with his finger on the pulse of the industry and academia but he sounds like he is off the charts consumed by what is happening in the Lightwave Logic Lab, I mean think about it, how many things do you guys go out your way to monitor that you are not either invested in or that do not pose a possible threat to your livelihood, Zero. How many other businesses in that building is he communicating to about staffing levels etc.? And guys hey I could whine and moan, bite my finger nails 24 hours a day and spit them in a cup but in the end the only thing it would accomplish is filling up a cup with used finger nails while making others do the same. Lately you guys are like on a feeding frenzy of complaining, whatever guys I’m too busy. I know you are frustrated but come on now suck it up and quit pushing buttons, leave that up to BS, you have to admit the man is good at it.
Honestly though, I wish that he would answer my question about the Corning program last night, I am very curious.
Running shortly
X
BS you appear to have you fingers on the pulse of the industry can you answer a simple question for me, (while you are speaking about Millers experience and career), did Corning ever attempt to produce a high-performance, high-stability electro-optic polymer?
Thanks in advance for answering.
If my memory serves me correctly I think the 250 number on the Perk came from Norwoods shop, I’m more interested in the first question though.

Stopped at the Monkey bar, Buz. Lol
Funny video Prop, when we were in Costa Rica we were talking about that video, I was running down the beach shouting "monkey bar, monkey bar, we are going to the monkey bar", we ran a mile maybe two (walked at times) by ATV’s, massage tents, horses, locals, etc. off into the jungle and by the time I hit the monkey bar there were about 20 people behind me, and yes there monkeys all around they would throw fruit at us, it was good time, especially because I wasn’t sure if it even existed, someone just told us at the pool that there were a bunch of monkeys at the monkey bar. True story and a great time, the shrimp were huge. My wife likened it to the pied piper.
You guys have all missed something in there, IMO there are 2 major hints and no I’m not playing with you, I cannot believe that Buzzy missed it. I’m not posting it because some may take it too far, it is in black and white, or uh, it isn’t in black and white.
Have a good day guys, IMO someday in the near distant future this is going to be looked at as such a missed opportunity and when that happens I’ll post it because it will not go away.
Good Luck, Honestly I hope this takes another 6 months and they run it right down to the last dime so I can keep buying in dribs and drabs but they won’t. You guys honestly think they just gave raises, hired what at least 3 new employees, new lab with clen room and gave away options just because all of the sudden they got greedy? Doesn’t make sense does it, and why would you give the employees options if there was no hope? Nope, it is called motivation and reward.
Go Monkey bar, I just google it and no it is not the one that pops up, the place we hit was a dive but we still had fun.
Have a good day guys,

Here are the new things that I noticed, my notes are a mess I'm not going to make it look all fancy, but you will get it, not fast enough for some but it sure looks like things are moving along to me!
They worked with Celestec on 3 applications, two of which are in White paper design.
The composition of matter patent appears huge.
Not sure how to take the 1.5 at 250 now appears to be 100 at 500nm (1/3 as thick).
In January 2014 we created a new methodology to combine multiple chromophores into a single polymer host that will significantly improve its ability to generate more powerful organic, nonlinear electro-optical (EO) polymer systems. The new synthetic chemistry process can enable multiple chromophores (dyes) to work in concert with each other within a single polymer host. This proprietary process has created two new material systems, which have demonstrated outstanding electro-optic values. In addition, initial thermal stability results exceed any commercially available organic nonlinear polymer material systems .
The processing and measurements were carried out primarily at the university’s Guided Wave Optics Laboratory (GWOL). The work was completed in close collaboration with Company personnel. It was determined a new synthetic chemistry and material process methodology was needed for consistent and repeatable results. That methodology was announced in January 2014. New methodology was announced in January 2014 ,,,,
In October 2013, we confirmed the functionality of the SOH slot waveguide modulators as operating devices.
In October 2013, we confirmed the functionality of the SOH slot waveguide modulators as operating prototype devices. These first-generation devices have achieved greater electro-optical activity and dramatically lower drive voltage than industry standard modulators based on inorganic materials.
In November 2013, preliminary testing and initial data on our SOH slot waveguide modulators demonstrated several promising characteristics. The tested SOH chip had a 1-millimeter square footprint, enabling the possibility of sophisticated integrated optical circuits on a single silicon substrate. In addition, the waveguide structure was approximately 1/20 the length of a typical inorganic-based silicon photonics modulator waveguide. With the combination of our proprietary electro-optic polymer material and the extremely high optical field concentration in the slot waveguide modulator, the test modulators demonstrated less than 2.2 volts to operate. Initial data rates exceeded 30-35 Gb/sec in the telecom, 1550 nanometer frequency band. This is equivalent to four, 10Gb/sec, inorganic, lithium niobate modulators that would require approximately 12-16 volts to move the same amount of information. Our material also operates in the 1310 nanometer frequency band, which is suitable for data communications applications.

This proprietary process has created two new material systems, which have demonstrated outstanding electro-optic values. In addition, initial thermal stability results exceed any commercially available organic nonlinear polymer material systems .
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. A LADAR system 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 March 2014 we began the process of manufacturing an advanced design Silicon Organic Hybrid Transceiver prototype and has released the completed chip design to the OpSIS Center at the University of Delaware who will be producing initial silicon chips. Delivery of the chips is expected in early summer 2014, which will be used for qualification and testing . The OpSIS Center at the University of Delaware will be providing us with chips that we will process with various combinations of our electro-optic polymer systems. The initial application will target inter-data center interconnections of more than 10 kilometers. Our next design will utilize a different frequency and address the current bottleneck in the rack-to-server layer.
New buzz word, Dual path
We are presently building a sales and marketing plan and have engaged a consultant dedicated to developing customers and multiple distribution channels for our products.
In February 2014 we retained Dr. Ashok Shenvi as part of our technology team as Senior Principal Investigator. Dr. Shenvi received his Ph.D. from Stanford University and a M.Sc. from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, India. Dr. Shenvi has over 30 years of experience working in medicinal and organic chemistry at Astra Zeneca Pharmaceuticals and central research at E. I. DuPont Company. Dr.
We along with our partners at the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) propose to develop multichannel integrated nanophotonic transceivers (MINTS) for application in data communications. The transceiver consists of a silicon photonic chip fabricated with nonlinear polymer infused modulators (SOH), multiplexers, demultiplexers, detectors and grating fiber couplers to an external light source. The CMOS-compatible optical modulators are key components for future silicon-based photonic transceivers. Our solution, the silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) platform has been proposed and is being prototyped. In the SOH approach, the optical signal is guided by a silicon waveguide while an organic cladding provides the electro-optic effect.
We are in early development of an all-optical switch in collaboration with the University of Colorado, Boulder under a sponsored research agreement.

You can argue this either way, I still choose to say that they are moving forward, 1 step forward, 1 step left, 2 back 3 forward.

Think Chess Not Checkers.
Honestly it is anybody’s guess. I once had faith in Norwood but honestly with his affiliations with the U of W and what certainly appeared to be shenanigans back in the day between Dalton, U of W, Lumera and Lightwave suffice it to say that I’ve always kept a skeptical eye on work from that lab.
I didn’t watch the video, I like Jen, but one just has to wonder though if I’m not correct in my suspicions and What Was up with that Opsis move?. I’m keeping the faith in this the productization year, I’m sure that we are moving along and I’d bet that they certainly are learning a lot from the 100’s of waveguides that will be at the heart of many of Lightwave devices and looking forward to the Opsis (not sure which foundry), run. This is interesting to watch play out, the various entities (business, entrepreneurship, academia, government etc.) all working on this, some holding cards back, some outright deceiving, some laying their cards on their table and some just quietly pounding away.
Since day one it has been an uphill battle here and I do mean uphill, I thought years ago that we were there but IMO we can now see the top of the mountain but,,,,, are not there yet, over the years there have been many forces, some intentional, some bad luck, some outright stupid mistakes yet through all of that they managed to attract some of the best in the business with very limited money. With input from Miller and Leonberger, Z wants the waveguides, followed by a working custom designed device. IMO (other than satisfying some of the shareholders that have never produced an EO polymer device in their life) Lightwave (at this very movement) has no reason to publicly disclose things; on the other hand academia has all the motivation to do it. Remember guys there are many, many devices, if we end up with 10% we will be very, very successful, I think the goal is more like 50% of the market I like the ol 80/20 rule.
Food for thought: I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Opsis told U of W that they were moving to Delaware, who or what prompted that?, I also would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when AZ found out that Lightwave was pulling out. There are many behind the scenes things that we can only speculate about. Someday we may find out.
Gotta Run, sounds like some of those birds followed me be back from Costa Rica.

Yup, IMO the trouble is that when you have an agreement like this the market is no longer the market it has an artificial number for everyone to see, in other words if they don’t want any then they can keep it below a buck and when they do want some they will hold it just above a buck in order to get more shares, but in getting to buck they will encounter resistance selling from others. They were definitely needed though and it is a double edge sword, they helped and will continue to help, IMO once a funding agreement is signed with one of the big guys we can cut our ties with them and when that happens they will have all the reason in the world to push this up through the stratosphere and cash in on their investment.
As long as you are not selling it really doesn’t matter, in fact I kind of like this buying at 90 cents stuff and IMO the next step for them helping themselves will help us.
Keeping the faith,
Gotta Run

Like I said Pit I’ll never convince everyone but you must admit that I called Lumera at 50 bucks and did my best to explain it in plain ol English, now Gigs is less than 2 bucks and those that were in it when tanked somehow want to blame me. And no I do not make posts and then reply to them, I mean really? Please provide me a single example of me posting something then replying, I BEG YOU, you cannot do it because I do not do it. Honestly most here know me, some have been over to the house, some have busted few rounds out back, yes I meet an EO polymer scientist that works near here at one of the Dow labs, as for being a hick, nope a real guy that is all but I’d say proly the guy with the coolest ish, some the best setups the real deal is Nitro. And when I post something it is what I believe, but in order for you to have been longer than me you’d have to been in the first round at 17 cents I think it was, I missed that be a week, but there is no use crying over spilled milk. Hey you either have the faith or you don’t, whining and complaining is not going to change the science. I’ll be buying more next week, just what I do, and no I don’t pump this and sell into it although the world is full of dishonest people that do but as to how one could hold his head up as they reached for their wallet to pick up a tab after deceiving someone is beyond me. Oh and as for the sharpest tool in the shed, it is not me, I'd say it is proly spooks and a few other at the brightest crayons in this box.
Pit I wish you the best, honestly I cannot figure out why some folks put their money in something that they do not believe in 100%, this is complex, complex science I had the pleasure to grill Fred Jr. back in the day that is all I try to relay in my posts, I apologize if I come of an honest down to earth hick person.
Oh as info, yes from my house well you couldn’t throw a rock but you could most definitely fire a round over the Mason Dixon Line we ride Dirt bikes and Atv's on it, not sure if that makes me a yank or a rebel, proly a rebel though.
Bickering will not get us anywhere so I'll try and refrain I was correct on the Lumera/Gig, and I'll be proven correct on this as for a Buy out, Yes Sir Ree Bub, that is how this will end. If you come to shareholders meeting you are welcome to hang with us honestly is funner than crap, Lol.

What can I say it was a true story and funny as F honestly I thought she was going to yell at me shoot the way to Country is going one can't even carry around a gun in plain view without feeling guilty , good luck there pit cook how's that lumera working out for you?
Oops Not Happen
Well they did tell me that if I wanted to stop by to please let them know beforehand then he said something like the possibly exists where you might recognized somebody and that would be bad, something like that. So were you flying Frontier, (that airline has to be a god send to the Lightwave crew) or are you one my buddies that sits in those special seats up front?
Funny, on my trip to Costa Rica I was sitting near the front of the plane and I was reading a Gun Magazine, becasue of the world that we currently live in I was feeling kind of weird until the stewardess came over, she bent down so no one could hear her and said to me “excuse me sir but would mind helping me insure that nobody makes it into the cockpit should they try”, I looked up over my glasses and said, “I can assure you that that will happen.” True Story.

Not sure but remember that they are mixing up the Perks, kind of like adding ethanol to gasoline (I'd like to go on the record as hating ethanol at least 2 machines a year screw up because of it, what the heck were they thinking?).
The $500 comment goes all the way back to Fred Jr., I was surprised that he was on the money way back when, his ballpark cost back then was $200 and that was a telecom modulator I believe, I have NO IDEA if that holds up today.
X
You gotta be kidding me you mean you're honestly here to make money here I just thought you needed something to whine about
This is my 2 cents I’m not going to try and convince everyone because that will never happen.
“Lightwave Logic Successfully Demonstrates Operating Silicon Organic Hybrid (SOH) Prototype Modulator Device Achieves Greater Electro-Optical Activity and Lower Drive Voltage than Industry Standard Legacy Inorganic Modulators”
They Put Perkanimine in a modulator design not designed for Perk and it was measured at 40gb/s with a drive voltage of <2.2 Bandwidth >40 Ghz. It worked!
Here is an analogy, These examples do not apply exactly but you’ll get the picture.
They put the fuel in a Chevy that normally runs at 25 mph (gb/s) and takes 6 gallons (volts) to go 100 miles (efficiency) and with Perk it immediately ran at 40mph and only took 2.2 gallons, sounds like it works to me, but Lightwave does not own that design, remember Miller moved us up the food chain now LWLG is not only in the business of selling gasoline but vehicles as well and they want one that will only take 1 gallon, can run at 100 mph.
It works, but it isn’t perfected, once the octane (solubility) is modified and the carburetor (waveguide) throat is adjusted IMO they will get it to do exactly what they want. 100 gb/s w/1 volt out the door at less than 500 bucks and they will Own the Market.
Do I wish this happened 8 years ago when owned less shares but a greater percentage of the company, Heck yes but it didn’t, that’s life, investors can only change what they can change and currently it is out of our hands (we stepped up once, if we have to do it again we will but now is not the time) the fact of the matter is that they are proceeding along now at what certainly appears to be a decent clip.
No time to proof,

I just finished plowing some of that magic global warming white cold dusty stuff that we had so much of this year. Just so we are on the same page the only foundry currently listed on Opsis’s website is IME, I’m not sure who will do the run for them IME, IMEC or BAE. I’m not getting into it spelling out the things that I see but the bottom line is that I’m not sure who is doing the run.

Oops just found it, perhaps they just forgeot to put a link on the web site.

It Works, I would expect that they are currently working on X% of this with Y% of this at a solubility of Z, with A volts modulates at XXX. Document, Repeat, Repeat. Change up X and do it over again. No doubt that it works though.
"Lightwave Logic Successfully Demonstrates Operating Silicon Organic Hybrid (SOH) Prototype Modulator Device Achieves Greater Electro-Optical Activity and Lower Drive Voltage than Industry Standard Legacy Inorganic Modulators"
Honestly I like reading about how everything is aligning in the Marketplace even if it doesn't apply to LWLG. But yes I agree that years ago I though this would proceed faster.
Keeping the faith
I tell you Ihub must have a gold mine here, they charge for their services, then they cram adds in every possible space they can find then when the screen is full they put them in front and behind and link them to words, funny though because I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what any of them say.

Scope only able to communicate for a few seconds,,,, Honestly guys I’m 984% more confident in the team now. My 2 cents is that yes those lasers may be a fit, remember terms like robust etc. check out the temps. IMO they are working on Single mode ish with Opsis so at this time I’m not sure they are playing in the multi mode space but it sounded like that is next.
Like I said they are finally proceeding as a business, not so much worried about the minute by minute ups and down of who has to sell for whatever reason.
IMO they should be able to partner up with a large company for any needed R&D money before the need for the next need for cash. Once this is able to blow through a buck we’ll be on our way but at the moment there is some serious resistance, accumulate, accumulate, and accumulate. Hey I could be wrong but no one can ever say that I don’t put my money where my mouth is.
Gotta Run, Word of the day, “Don’t call be bossy, oh and I heart Boobies” most won’t get that.

Oops, he cofounded UTP (United Technologies Photonics Corp) I guess that my brain assumed that United Technologies Research Center was part of that, a few to many tequilas I guess, (so much for my pornographic memory, hence no Beetle Bar Nitro and Wise) too busy to look, too many United Technologies.

You guys can worry if you want but IMO,,, actually theirs, “With more data in hand, we also intend to present to the DOD and other government agencies interested in polymer material/device development. Also, we will now be approaching other photonic companies with whom we could potentially partner to support our R&D effort.” They are in the process of documenting actual data on the performance, it worked in the plug and play, the design is ready on the Transceiver and Boulder Nonlinear is moving forward on what Terry been hanging around here for, IMO an R&D funding plan will be reached without the need for more dilution. And again based on the comment “greater than a 10 kilometers” statement I’m pretty sure that it will be in the single mode arena. The further along we are the stronger position we have, on the other hand the farther along we are the closer our back is to the wall. We pay management to solve these problems but yes I agree those keeping it under a buck are either trying to shoot themselves in the foot or doing it intentionally. I just remember what that Dow EO Polymer scientist guy I meet said about Leonberger, “X, that guy can call up just about anybody in the United states and call for funding, I said anybody, he said yes he could even call the president’s office, and if you don’t think that Joe Miller can do the same you are sadly mistaken. In the past we were focused on everything which really means they were focused on nothing. This is finally moving along like it should have years ago, IMO we’re all good.
Do yourselves a favor and worry about something like global warming and yes that is another area of funding that they could go after.

So Leonberger Co-founded United Technologies, Grzybowski (now the Executive director at Opsis) used to work at United Technologies (when Fred was there) then moved to Corning (when Joe Miller was there). Intel initiated Opsis in Feb 2011, 1 year later Hochberg moves from Washington to Delaware (as info Gig has the rights to things developed at U of W). Grzybowski took the place of Brad Smith that took a job at Intel. Oh what is Brads new title “100G Transceiver Product Line Manager & Business Development at Intel Corporation”
Ok, so um must I go on?
Is it possible that this is totally coincidental and that the universe is so small? Of Course but I doubt it. IMO Guys we just need to let this play out. Accumulate, accumulate, accumulate, and let em play with the dribs and drabs penny ish, that’s what I say.
To Quote Forest Gump, “that is about all I have to say about that”.
And no, nobody told me this but I mean it takes all of 10 minutes to see, things most certainly now appear to be proceeding in a logic manner.
Xsto Rica
In Costa rica
Heck no Im more confident now than ever things are proceeding logically it also appears that we have some support
IMO they are at a point now where I don’t need to watch and worry about every single trade, it took long enough I will say that, and we certainly had to raise some cane to get here. And yes If someone dumps into it hard yes it could tank, emotions could come into play some could sell based on emotions, IMO not such a good idea. I’m pretty comfortable with the way this is finally being run now but to answer your questions as to a handful of 1%ers, yes, if I had to guess I’d say the short list is about 20 people, I’m not sure who is selling but it is what it is. In all honestly I’m holding out, share wise I’m almost back to where I started although it is no longer at 1%. I’m not telling anyone to buy, hold or sell, go back over your homework and base your decision on knowledge, not emotion or events playing out in the course of someone else’s life, but yes if this individual sells hard into it yes it could tank, but IMO it will bounce back faster than a super ball when (once they are able to get some cred) demand outstrips the supply, (hopefully this individual will have sold whatever they need by then) oh well it will not change the science and when this science is proven out we will be living large, if not, then it is what it is, and I guess that we will all have maintain our crummy lives. I wasn’t watching but it sounds like if anyone wants more you can just put up a decent bid and this individual will sell into it, just saying.
They now have the chemistry, found a trick to mixing the Perk which they are patenting, they now have control of the processes a lab and testing facility, if you think that Miller is going to say the he vetted something that he didn't then I think you are mistaken. I have to put my faith in his knowledge on just how to vet something in the Chemical and Optical world.
Good Luck,

I just got a new cell phone, any idea on how can I get rid of the stickies on the IHUB Mobile app they annoy me?

There are a million different ways to structure it.
But I’d just as soon take a SINGLE Billion dollar market, prove the Perk works in a device, then take its future value (of just that Single Device say a 100 Gig telcom modulator) and discount it back to the present value take some cash out (say ½ for the shareholders in the form of a dividend and 1/2 for the company) as they move on to the next Billion dollar market. If they do that once then shares/company valuation will take off. We are talking multiple (Billion Dollar) markets, (IMO no need to hold out one on the first) once they prove it works is cheap and viable we’ll be off and running. We would sell Perk and they could worry about production of widgets. Honestly I don’t think that many here could hold up mentally, it appears that it depends which side of the bed some get out of and if they rolled out a buck dividend in about a year they could afford to buy a bed that consistently dumped them out the same side every day. Once the company is taken over it would continue to sell perk to that entity throughout its lifetime so it wouldn’t affect nor would they be beholden to that company.
But I’m way ahead of myself, first they need to get out there and bring in a partner, honestly I think that is what the shares awarded to the BOD were for.
It is just something to think about as we move forward into multiple markets, each having its own particular requirements and areas of expertise.

Yes it is, Yes it is. Honestly I see this as logical progression to accomplish the last sentence in this paragraph.
"With more data in hand, we also intend to present to the DOD and other government agencies interested in polymer material/device development. Also, we will now be approaching other photonic companies with whom we could potentially partner to support our R&D effort."
Finally they are getting their act together, but man was that costly giving away all those shares trying to shape an actual company, million shares here million shares there, oh well no use crying over spilled milk.
So how could they structure a potential partnership, we put up the Perk, they put up the Money and Cred, going forward we sell Perk to said partnership, the partnership then splits the profit on the venture, does that entity mass produce widgets or do they spin it off and form another partnership and start on another device. Or do they sell that entity. If said partnership is sold to viable fortune 500 do the shareholders get shares in both, all three?
Sumptin to think about, and could I be wrong, heck yes but it is the next logical step forward, at this time I'm looking for solid progress forward, remember Bintz did this exact thing at Lumera, Miller did this on numerous devices and chemicals at Corning and Dupont and Leonberger did this at JDSU oh and Leonberger was also in charge of the Mergers and Acquisitions so he has been there and done that.

I'm not sure if it will be here or there Reds but I'll go wherever and make a lil vaca out it. Shoot we have a little airport here in Wilmington 1 flight a day, LOL that now fly's to Denver (1/2 hour drive) for 100 bucks, 20 minutes from the lab, I may grab a flight out do a drive by, wash the windows in the HQ and report back to you guys, Ya Never Know. IMO This news today is good news, I don't want to speculate on this but IMO this was a required step for the next move. Who knows probably just wishful thinking on my part, This is exactly the kind of thing we went over so many times in that past, finally the walk crawl run, run Forest run.
You notice Telcom comes before Datacom now, next up,,,,
X Out
HQ open. Anything in that release?
Good Question, I'd have to ponder that while.

Honestly I think that this is so far above the day to day thinking of investors that not many will get it, they understand the drug payback but have no way of measuring the Markets for Optical Computing and the Potential. It will only take a few though to push this up, but there are so many that have been in so long it will proly to while to soak up those shares.
I'm not into the swing trade thing, I don't sit with my finger on the button.
Ladies and Gents Let us See what the next month brings, somehow I don't think that we will be anywhere near a Buck next month.
