Spekkie hit it out of the park with this. "He Lebby just finished. Important takeaway: we are working with multiple tier ones, tripled since a few weeks after OFC . Wow, we are golden. He showed a slide of the “ eyes” will be on the website as well. This was a real promising speech! Reliability is NOT an issue! Look at the eyes!"
I'm going to wander in thought on multiple foundries working the Perk. We know that some Tier Ones directed their current suppliers to work with their foundries on PDK's. That process took a couple years. If the Tier Ones (T1's) paid and worked with a foundry that process is theirs and theirs only, it is IP. Another T1 can not use that process for free. Now, if interest tripled (knowledge gained from OFC) that tells me that perhaps the T1's did not know that atleast 1 foundry solved the process. I would even venture to say that if a foundry is working for 2 T1s that process can not be shared across the foundry. One other thought that I had is,,, what is a T1 to think of their foundry that wasn't flexible enough to solve it, and Lebby throws up data and a picture from Foundry X that solved it. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. Now, no doubt some foundrys pursued this on their own dime (or were paid by Lightwave) they will be able to do runs for anyone with a few bucks. Oh and the T1s that didn't want to give polymers a shot answering to their management. Imagine that at a BOD level.
Posts are difficult to communicate thoughts but that's how I see this. This is so cool to watch play out, changing an entire industry that refused to adopt so Lebby locked it down with patents.
What is a Trillion Dollar T1 Board of Directors to do? Put yourself in their shoes. Technology that triples the speed, cuts power and opens up valuable space on one side and a boatload of cash in the bank. I think I know.
X, I better hit the button before I loose this, bike ride n brunch, got to go. No time to proof
Thanks Spekkie, triple T1 interest.
Many just do not get it. They expect Lightwave to work on everything that ANYONE wants.
I get it, small minds desire small results, whatever. Me, Not so much I've been here too long.
Why would they put several engineers on a $100k a year contract when there are a few multi-million dollar contracts in play? Open your eyes.
I just scratch my head.
I'm still saying now that there are several partnerships/ takeovers plays in action.
They (complainers) will appear right, wanting 28 small deals instead of 1 multimillion dollar deal until they are proven wrong I say Accumulate, baby, I still want many more shares, why, I haven't a clue. Greed I guess.
X
Resources, Goolges on line 1 and AWS is also holding.
X limited resources, dats why.
Yup I agree, the eyes are super important, plus I own more shares and more tax free shares than this morning.
More than Moore.
X and the I's have it.
Well, now we are working with 3 times as many!
Cheers
Why are you so worried?
Yawn.
X have a great weekend.
Today did a rollover at $4.03 and I purchased shares at $3.98.
Happy Hour time.
X. Guys across the pond have a productive weekend.
It is called gearing up for commercialization. New hires need to get up to speed assuming duties, working the K's and the Q's, etc. Putting their procedures in place. Honestly I expected this based on what I saw last year. 2023 was about gearing up for commercialization. 2024 is about producing a few thousand to hand out. Last I heard, they needed 2 or 3 additional employees. It looks like that is inplay as of today. This company is very good at managing money, they don't spend before it is needed. Cash onhand for over a year and no debt. No need to worry about cash Ola.
Thanks for reminding me.
X. The lab is ready. Are you guys (shorts) going to give me a good price to do another small roll at the close?
There you go again making up your own facts. IMO "PDK status is indeed a fact and Reliability status is also a fact." Im not sure which, PDK or which reliability test are you talking about? We must be talking about 2 different presentations.
You post as if there is just 1 polymer for a single device with a single use at a single foundry with a single customer. Soon enough you'll see, but you will never admit it.
A request for more data is just that, it hasn't failed anything.
Lebby does not say that reliability is an issue, infact he stated the opposite a week ago to the industry. What he also stated was that they simply want more data. An issue leads one to think that it is a problem.
X, it should be a very interesting weekend. Price will be manipulated to make some whine, there is no doubt, but that is just a game. Geez I wonder what Lebby is doing today.
Buy Order in at $3.98
Nice buy at 9:30:01. Someone put up 25k at 5 cents below the close. Gobble gobbled up.
If you create something that everybody needs/wants, they will come to you rather than you having to go to them. That is what the conferences are about.
X it's real and it is happening, prioritizing candidates will be diffcult.

I have a stupid question. How does one in the U.S. get to this board. When I enter SEV, it brings up the U. S. Quote with no board. When I bring up spvnf, it dead ends with a post about it being a Canadian country. I had to find a private message from Stevey click on his name and back door it.
I think this company is missing out on a huge audience of potential investors. Something is wrong or perhaps they are prevented for some legal reason.
I may be interested in participating in a PP but it looks pretty convoluted to me.
Friday, remember free happy hour for private messages after the close in the U.S. today.
X. Help
We will see now, won't we? Best of luck to you.
X, thanks for your contributions to this science. AI needs this, period, and full stop. Some look in the rearview mirror, I do not.
Mmmm, Ok.
Thanks for your input.
Shorts will say whatever they can to present doubt. I'm just saying, Thanks for the discounted price
X no doubt it is imminent. Just saying. Oh the definition of imminent "about to happen"
Push is knocking on the industry's doors, pull is the tier1's and such
reactions to push so now they knocking on theirs. What we dreamed of. Kind of like if you had a rare car to sell at first you advertise it, then stop and prioritize the weight and sincerely (Friendly's?) of the door knockers interest. They got it, IMO We are good.
Rolled a few hoping at 3:55 for 4.09 got $4.10. Average as always,I tried to buy a few this morning below 4 bucks, so I put in and order to buy, but as happens it popped back up to a no fill.

Truer words have never been written.
Nice Post.

Looks like you missed my post.
I get more excited about the partnerships that will be generated from a the couple thousand modulators produced, tested, and distributed this year (with whatever generation(s) of Perkinamine) than focusing on a single device being the end all be all dictator of value going forward. I think the killer apps here have yet to be understood/realized by the industry, and when that killer app is discovered, things will get real interesting. But then again, I'm a little more forward-looking than some who tend to focus on a single use and a single use only. I've said this before, but I think the killer app is the space that 1/30th the size makes available for other seemingly unrelated components with the power that is available but also freed up.
Think of the electric motor when it was invented only to power a printing press. Home appliances were not even a thought. Think of everything that it changed, the lastest being cars. It wasn't so much about selling motors but licensing out/partnering with all of the uses that increased the demand.
Pricing this now is like valuing aspirin while only considering its ability to help headaches, schwing.
X. Some focus on the tree I guess, I look at the woods. There is a portion of the stock market that is forward looking. And a portion is day trading, for me it is easier to look ahead than invest like a squirrel trying to cross the road, forward, backwards, sideways, forward, sideways etc. To each his own, whatever makes one happy and feel content. Oil and water though, daytraders do not look at potential, no thinking, more reactionary, easily influenced by emotion, it is more of a chase the shiny object thing.
Oh you want the details, sure here they are.

The share price is what it is. One has to factor in the 20 million additional shares that have been borrowed and sold to come up with the real number.
So, back in the day, there were very few investors that believed in this. Lol, we all had to basically chip in for a blackberry so we could communicate with the founders. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that I bought the first shares traded on pink sheets on the street (now nasdaq). Id say that it is kind of like buying land and building something , a very rewarding feeling. How in the world this worked out from a garage and a Blackberry to attracting a Who's who in the industry that has covered this space with protective patents and is now writing and explaining the roadmap for the industry is a feeling that many do not have the patience to accomplish.
3 times the speed of Silicon, 1/10th the power, 1/30th the space. No Debt, no crazy financing, no crazy warrants, truly incredible. The shorts are the latest barrier.
X
Typically, only companies that are in trouble state they are open to a buyout. As information, the board of directors has a fiduciary responsibility to do what is right for the shareholders. Lol, there isn't a company on planet earth that isn't open to a buyout. People/institutions invest to make money. But the buyout has to be properly priced, perhaps that is what you don't understand. Corporations chartered under Nevada law like this have delegated the buyout or not decision to the board.
X, think first.
Some Ready, Fire, oh um, think, oh yeh AIM, yup that's the ticket.
So I get more excited about the partnerships that will happen with the couple thousand modulators produced, tested, and distributed this year (with whatever generation(s) of Perkinamine) than focusing on a single device. I think the killer apps have yet to be understood/realized by the industry here, and when that killer app is discovered, things will cascade. I'm a little more forward-looking than many who tend to focus on a single use. I've said this before, but I think the killer app is the space that 1/30th the size makes available for other seemingly unrelated components with the power that is available but also freed up.
Think of the electric motor when it was invented only to power a printing press. Home appliances were not even a thought. Think of everything that it changed, the lastest being cars. It wasn't so much about selling motors but licensing out/partnering with all of the uses that increased the demand.
X. Some focus on the tree I guess, I look at the woods. There is a portion of the stock market that is forward looking. And a portion is day trading, for me it is easier to look ahead than invest like a squirrel trying to cross the road, forward, backwards, sideways, forward, sideways etc. To each his own, whatever makes one happy and feel content. Oil and water though, daytraders do not look at potential, no thinking, more reactionary, easily influenced by emotion, it is more of a chase the shiny object thing.
I still think that we will either be taken over or form a partnership that will be charged with focusing on something (lidar, medical, modulators, or something else) before LWLG is selling 112 million modulators. But that's just me.
X. IMO the lab is about super duper chemistry, but first, it had to prove how the chemistry could be applied and used oh and foundries could mass produce components using the polymers produced in the lab. Anywhoos that is my view from 50,000 feet.
Why are you guys so nervous? Answer is because you somehow need to exit your short positions before full adoption is publicized.
Xster is comfortable, but then again, I've watched this unfold since day 1. Back then, it took real faith, we watched the spike up to 20 bucks, predicted the institutions, and watched the short position grow to 20 million. Back then, we were not near any roadmaps. Now we are writing them.
Cool Beans.
I was reading his work with Lebby last night. Nice addition to the team.
X. You have to admit the talent here is amazing.
Triples the speed,using a fraction of the power in less space.
This is the Nasdaq, not the pink sheets.
Funny Post.
X
That is too funny to even respond to, but perhaps I'll try. I'm glad you don't get emotional about your investments.
X. Oh wait, your other buddy is up $20 Million by selling Gig (your number one pick for an investment) to move here to mine. Good thing you aren't an emotional type, steady as she goes, you are a born leader. Um.
Yes, I remember. Honestly, I didn't understand just how far the industry could stretch Silicon Photonics, but I say it's there now. Of course, I own what I do. That's life, it is called honesty.
The difference is that your beloved LMRA and Gig were handed the technology by a purported who's who and a ton of money and ran it into the ground. Lightwave had no money, and no whos who, now setting world records and literally are on the world stage. I couldn't be more proud. I'd sit outside the original garage, eat my lunch, and watch who was coming and going.
Thanks again for pointing out to us just how right we were.
X
Try and downplay it all you want, I only read a little of it and found it incredible. Lebby is the man, I think the one that I was reading was 40 pages, I'll proly print it as I'll be down for a couple days.
I feel so bad for you, having hitched your ride to the wrong pony and refusing to let go when we warned you about the flaws in that technology and road er down to a point where you did, I call it into the mud, you just call it wet dirt so that we wouldn't agree, funny.
X
From a garage to the world stage. Purchased Gigs technology for next to nothing. Set multiple world records.
Thanks for reminding us just how far they have come.
X
Funny, I do not remember that, most likely if they did it would been a 1 gig, certsinly not a 10, 25, 40, 100 or 200 gig. Please provide a link.
X sometimes folks make up things. They have come a long way and until now silicon has kept up, but with AI, just say bye bye to Silicon photonics, read the roadmap.
"The good news is that active electro-optic polymer slot modulators 3 either plasmonic or silicon slot are very small in footprint with less than one square millimeter. As part of a PIC platform, many modulators can be arrayed subject to the architecture design of for example: 4 lane, 8 lane, 16 lane PIC designs. Active electro-optic polymer slots have been demonstrated to operate with very low voltage levels of less than 1V.
(which means that the modulators themselves not only save power but can be directly driven by normal electronics and thereby eliminating the driver chips). The potential elimination of driver chips means that the architectures save more power than the modulator itself – which is a strong differential advantage for low power designs."
We fo this.
X the 3 above is another reference to LWLG
Thanks
"The obvious, yet most difficult next move for device designers of modulators is to revisit increasing the optoelectronic device speed as semiconductor solutions are struggling to achieve the bandwidth, low power and small size needed for the markets. Active electro-optic polymers can exceed the semiconductor incumbent modulators by nearly an order of magnitude on 3dB bandwidth as well as power consumption with sub 1V operation. While incumbent semiconductor modulators are operating fiber optic communications traffic with optical 3dB bandwidths in the range of 30-40 GHz (to generated data speeds of 50Gbps NRZ and 100GBaud PAM4), active electro-optic polymer modulators have demonstrated optical 3dB bandwidths that are in excess of 250GHz using plasmonic slot designs1, and silicon slot modulators similarly with over 100GHz."

It includes a comprehensive overview of major technology gaps for volume manufacturing of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and a detailed analysis of the challenges that the integrated photonics industry needs to overcome to achieve its potential.
X
A thought leader is a person who specializes in a given area and whom others in that industry turn to for guidance. As the term implies, a thought leader leads others in the thinking around a given topic.
X
An industry roadmap is about as far from a fluff piece as you can get.
Think about what an industry roadmap is, think about it, think about it, and then think some more.
Thanks for thinking!
Industry Roadmap, kinda cool.
Apparently some think the world evolves are a single piece of the system and refuse to even try and see the big picture of when Silicon/Power/Size hits the wall.
Once again, Lebby has his finger on the pulse of the industry, with availability to question and assess needs, costs, and roadblocks across the industry. That is Highly valuable information.
This kind of jumped out as me " 'Polymers' focuses on active electro-optic polymers for optical modulators as well as passive polymers that guide and manipulate light in fiber optic communications markets."
Passive polymers guiding light, we know about the waveguides on the modulators, but I think there is something more in that statement than just passing light through a modulator.
Lebby is playing chess. Many on here are looking at it like checkers and do not have the ability to take a step back and look at the industry overall, Top to Bottom, Inside and Out.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall in the roadmap meetings. Im sure some eyes were opened to problems and solutions. We are in the right place at the right time. We are also no doubt in a race against the shorts. I wonder when that name will drop?
I wonder if power and size will be noted.
X. Enjoy, No doubt about it the game is in peak season.
No far and away for that billionaire number, not even close, I doubt I'll ever be.
That being said, I'm an honest person.
X
I purchased way more than that today.
Oopsy on your part.
