Maybe? It sure would be a breath of fresh air to get some solid updates!

"so finally investors will be getting a significant technology update coming Novemeber 2, 2020 at AngelTech's PIC II"

That would certainly be welcomed but the title of his presentations suggests a template of similar presentations past, hope I'm wrong! Still great to be among Intel and IBM just the same!

"The global optical modulator market at $2 billion in 2017 is expected to be $22.6 billion in 2024 driven by the availability and cost effectiveness of 100 Gbps, and 400 Gbps devices."

That's music to my ears...Thx for sharing!

What company is a giant in "spin coating" technology?

"Functionalization of the silicon with the organic material can be done in a simple backend process for e.g., by spin coating the material. With this approach highly efficient SOH modulators with record-low energy consumption are being fabricated at IPQ."

Microsoft's CEO sees more diverse supply chains

11:36 ET - Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sees the tensions between the US and China over technology is likely to lead to companies establishing broader supply chains to limit individual dependencies. "The world will be much more diverse in its supply," Nadella says at The WSJ's CEO Council. (aaron.tilley@wsj.com)

I'll second that...:)

I'm curious if any of our European friends are familiar with any of the work out of Germany's KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)? I would love to hear more if so!

https://www.ipq.kit.edu/hybrid_pic.php

"However, besides all benefits of the silicon photonic integration, silicon as an optical material falls short of certain properties that are indispensable for high-performance devices. In particular silicon does not feature any second order nonlinearity which is a key feature for high quality phase modulators. These deficiencies can be overcome by using the silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration, available at KIT. Organic materials, combined with silicon-photonic waveguides can complement the functionality of silicon."

I assume ML and Dr. Franky So worked together back in the 1990's when ML was R&D Manager at Motorola...

Dr. So added, "I am honored to have been appointed to the advisory board for Lightwave Logic. Now that we've seen polymers become successful with OLEDs, the opportunities for polymer modulators in optical communications are extremely exciting. I look forward to working closely with management and my fellow advisory board members to assist management however possible."

Ever read the Wikipedia definition of a PIC? Who do we know that was integral in the pioneering work done at Bell Labs back in the late 80's?

Photonic Integrated Circuit
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or integrated optical circuit is a device that integrates multiple (at least two) photonic functions and as such is similar to an electronic integrated circuit. The major difference between the two is that a photonic integrated circuit provides functions for information signals imposed on optical wavelengths typically in the visible spectrum or near infrared 850 nm-1650 nm.

The most commercially utilized material platform for photonic integrated circuits is indium phosphide (InP), which allows for the integration of various optically active and passive functions on the same chip. Initial examples of photonic integrated circuits were simple 2-section distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers, consisting of two independently controlled device sections - a gain section and a DBR mirror section. Consequently, all modern monolithic tunable lasers, widely tunable lasers, externally modulated lasers and transmitters, integrated receivers, etc. are examples of photonic integrated circuits. As of 2012, devices integrate hundreds of functions onto a single chip.[1] Pioneering work in this arena was performed at Bell Laboratories. Most notable academic centers of excellence of photonic integrated circuits in InP are the University of California at Santa Barbara, USA, and the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.

That is very interesting jeunke22, where would we be without those little chips? That line of thinking is what attracted me to AMAT, my largest holding by far. Ironically, I bought my first large blocks of AMAT at the same time I started buying LWLG about 15 yrs ago. It was always clear to me that AMAT was the "pick and shovel" manufacturer in the semiconductor gold rush. They win because all the foundries come knocking on their door before the first yard of concrete is poured for a new factory. The engineering that goes into their equipment is mind blowing.

MSFT is expanding their already strong presence in Northern VA for data center push. I have family members in Loudoun Co. Talk about an area where you wish you had bought property 25 yrs ago! You'd think the soil was laced with gold dust but just sloppy red clay commanding millions. I believe it's now being referred to as the "Silicon Valley" of the East.

"One day your chart will reflect this real value. I hope that day will come very soon."

We all hope that day will come very soon, especially those of us who have been here since the first day of trading, never traded or sold a single share (wish I had in hinds sight)...I think that gives a sense of where the frustration comes from jeunke22

Doesn't the 3 yr chart say it all? Not to mention the lack of communication other than the travesty of JM's babbling making us all look like fools. I'm still waiting for the 5k hour test results for God's sake...

I have to take issue with these comments:

Lebby is very much aware of the current ( retail) shareholder sentiment. That’s great, because there was a time - a few years ago- where the share price did not interest him. His focus was the technology and making it happen. The fact that he is interested in the share price tells me his focus has shifted to the business ( where it should be for us shareholders).

We have seen no indication that he is "interested in the share price" let's be honest.

I have not, will take a look when I get a chance, Thx

Great post!

HERMETIC CAPSULE AND METHOD

Abstract
A hermetic capsule including a semiconductor/metal base with sensitive semiconductor/polymer electrical and optical components formed thereon and a semiconductor/metal lid. The semiconductor/metal lid sealed to the semiconductor/metal base by metallization so as to form a chamber including all of the sensitive semiconductor/polymer electrical and optical components and hermetically sealing the chamber and all sensitive components from the ambient. External access to the sensitive semiconductor/polymer electrical and optical components is provided through a metallization.


For any seedy characters out there who do not understand this Patent, the hermetic seal is being done at Wafer level and cost is next to nothing, the seal is for protection of all the device components as set out in the abstract above

No need to apologize x, ML putting JM in front of the camera/microphone is a dereliction of duty on his part. What ever you do, don't listen or you'll be shopping for a new monitor immediately afterwards. It's a bloodbath! The question now is how do we get ML to step up and do what's in share holders interests?

Thanks Rubes...but we need to get our messages directly to ML. MZ is getting paid to catch our fast balls and I have no confidence they will forward them to ML. I too have gotten the automated replies...We need a game plan!

You nailed it Dusty, such a shame JM wasted everyone's time yesterday. Valuable time that could have been used to advance the LWLG mission, and increase shareholder value. He did the exact opposite!

"it wasn't that bad" ...seriously Mcfish? Imagine a new potential investor has just come across LWLG and he/she is listening in for the first time to see what LWLG is all about and they just had the misfortune of wasting their valuable time by sitting through that presentation. Do you believe for one second that JM inspired enough confidence to justify an investment in the company? I didn't think so. That was an embarrassment for anyone affiliated with LWLG, ie. current investors, ML, BOD's, ANY AND ALL AFFILIATED WITH LWLG!

Amen, all hands on deck! If we act collectively we can institute change.

Nothing new, unfortunately...

That's an understatement Steve, he came across as a stoner that definitely did not do his homework the night before and couldn't wait for the event to be over so that he could go grab a drink somewhere!
