'Major' IBM breakthrough breathes new life into Moore’s Law
http://mashable.com/2015/10/01/ibm-carbon-nanotubes-moores-law/#8RNK_XVzEPqa
Hi Lou, if indeed this is you, thank you for your efforts, I as well have always enjoyed your comments on the conference calls, and certainly wish you the best in life going forward
As much as I would love to pepper you with all kinds of questions regarding the developments progress, especially relative to what you believe are the greatest hurdles or struggle points to acieving a successful device (with full specs), I strongly caution you not to engage in such discussion in a public forum such as this message board
I will ask if you are able to disclose anything about the replacement person or persons, maybe not specifically, but if this transition has occurred already or is that something that will take a matter of time to effect?
Best Regards
Rick, honestly I was thinking the same thing as what you said here,
Other similarities between the two companies are blatant. POET has lately replaced nearly their entire management team with what might be considered a "semiconductor dream team". They are also moving to Silicon Valley. Their timelines have always been slipping just like LWLG and their current ETA is also second half of 2016 for prototypes.
I am glad to hear you resonate that what they are working on currently is not truly next-gen, but there statement from the pr is impressive none the less (not sure how it is possible with material in the realm of LN)
"Put simply, that means we make what's on a wafer up to 10 times more energy efficient, 10 times cheaper and more than 10 times smaller," said Dr. Venkatesan. "And we believe we are the only company that could achieve this level of disruption."
Rick, also they said they would have a transceiver on a single chip along by end of first half 2016 if memory serves me
X, I agree, I think our tech here would ultimately trump theirs (Rick, agree?), but it does seem they are poised to get theirs to (a starved) market in 2016, so question is how quickly can we get our working protos (and whitepapers) , they may beat us to market, but hey, it is a big market, and I'm sure there is room for both companies to be successful
Gates, here is a snipet from yesterdays pr that prefaced the update call
The Company said it is poised to roll out a monolithic opto-electronics process platform that enables unprecedented improvements in energy efficiency, component cost and size in the production of smart optical components, driving applications ranging from data centers to consumer products.
"The Company's patented module-on-a-chip process, which integrates digital, high-speed analog and optical devices on the same chip, is designed to be the next industry standard for smart optical components fabrication," said Ajit Manocha. "By adding electronics functionality to optics - lasers, detectors, IR sensors -- POET powers 'smart' opto-electronic devices that demonstrate step-function improvements in low power performance, cost and size. Specifically applied to short reach VCSEL based transceivers for example, POET could enable up to 10X improvements in power consumption, component cost, and form factor," added the Company's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Suresh Venkatesan.
"Put simply, that means we make what's on a wafer up to 10 times more energy efficient, 10 times cheaper and more than 10 times smaller," said Dr. Venkatesan. "And we believe we are the only company that could achieve this level of disruption."
Gates, from the call, they anticipate proto's available for sampling in first half 2016 including a transceiver on a single chip, all sounds very promising, we may have superior tech here, but they may be first to market, that is market starved to fill a need for next-gen tech , that is why I would like to hear from Rick who is much more technical than me or you
I listened to the POETF update call, here is a link to yesterdays pr
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/poet-technologies-bolsters-strength-balance-200100687.html
and a link to the update call
http://www.poet-technologies.com/investor-relations/presentations/
imo, this company is very real competition to lightwave, I would be interested in what others think if they have the time to review/listen
Rick, Steve I know you were following this company, any thoughts?
how bout you X, are you aware of this tech?
interestingly, in the Q&A, similar to us, they say they have no known competition
their proto's are due out first half of 2016 and include a transceiver on a single chip
plenty of cash, and a strategy to commercialize, including proto's due out first half of 2016, still intend a nasdaq listing at some point
here's a link for you to access the replay, generally positive, more details will be presented in an investor update call just after year-end 2015
http://www.poet-technologies.com/investor-relations/presentations/
does anyone have specific expectations from today's update?
I know they claim to be close to commercial ready, but why the big selloff, looks like maybe some large player/fund exited their holdings recently causing the pps to be cut in half?
Rick, Steve, are you guys still following the developments here, if so, any thoughts?
fyi, POETF, public traded competitor has an update call today at 5pm et if anyone may be interested here is a link
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/poet-technologies-announces-conference-call-120000036.html
It is a canadian company, so the volume is on PTK.V mostly, not sure what to expect, but they too are theoretically close to some next gen device solutions
Solar Cells Will be Made Obsolete by 3D rectennas aiming at 40-to-90% efficiency
http://nextbigfuture.com/2015/09/solar-cells-will-be-made-obsolete-by-3d.html
coolair, gates and wise, watch out the pitbullcook may start barking at you guys for those insane valuations, however, I totally agree with all that; a buyout in next 12 mos better be a minimum $1 billion, but if we are the true next gen, that amount is 100x too small, that's why I always contend getting the dough to grow this thing for years to come will become "no problem" once the first golden egg drops, so why o why ever sell that goose?
TWST: What is the timetable for monetizing the technology?
Mr. Zelibor: We are very comfortable where we are with our electro-optical material candidates. We are looking toward completing a proof of principle on this group of material candidates over the next several months. After that, we expect to implement them in our first-generation electro-optic polymer prototypes, which we are targeting in the first half of 2016. Ultimately, we hope to start sampling customers in the second half of 2016.
The goal that we have set for ourselves is to demonstrate modulators that have the potential to reach speeds of greater than 100 gigabits per second. We are already looking at and designing
the new timeline, isn't that pushing it out yet again, arrghh, I like the sampling customers thing though, that is new, maybe this is really the doable timeline
overall I give the interview a high mark, I feel like we got a true investor update with this interview, maybe more so than the ASM presentation
come on homerun device news, hope labor day finally got er done, then we all start getting rich tomorrow
yup, I remember all that too, plus I recall talk about coating roadways for solar energy generation, bottom line is true next gen materials have seemingly unlimited potential, now let's just grab some of that low lying fruit please
six, buz, new high-profile name added to the list of what you must believe to be scammers based on your continued drivel postings of laundry list of what you consider failures, but in reality were stepping stones, really you guys should be ashamed of yourselves
BOOYAH

Seeking New Job Opportunities
for those naysayers who pointed to this guy's departure as the signal of doom for LWLG, just looking at his career path, he seems to come and go quickly 3 careers in 3 years, and seeking a 4th currently
just sayin
gig is nowhere close to being in the ballpark cash-wise for acquiring us if we are for real in having true next gen materials/devices
if you haven't noticed, gig is more like a pirate ship out collecting booty for their ceo, 8 years, 8 acquisitions, zero profitability, but the ceo and top brass have been given about the entire current market cap of gig in incentive comp, cash bonuses, etc over those 8 years
I agree with you gates, I think us decade long shareholders here have more than paid their patience dues, it is TIME for these guys to put up a proto with a full datasheet of off the chart true game changing specs as promised
management has told us months not years at this point, sure hope so, I am beginning to think we will all see the end of time itself before we finally see the fabled device, lol
I also continue to believe that investors should be given an update on the progress notes of device developments, it would be nice to know what attributes have been successfully attained, and which remain to be solved, and with reasonably estimated timelines to complete, I don't believe that the development path should be blinded to investors, or that it is an all or nothing thing, investors need updates on developments imo, period
try and keep up, I posted that article yesterday, guess you were too busy spewing as usual to notice lol
Breakthrough photonic processor promises quantum computing leap
should we be worried?
http://www.gizmag.com/photonic-quantum-computer-chip/38928/
when will a proto with specs be pr'd? not to diminish the importance of passing telcordia requirements for thermal and photochemical bleaching, but the real excitement will be the release of a working device with kick arse specs
with all the IMEC and OpSYS chips in hand, with the Class 100 clean room up and running for several months now, with access to JILA labs, it seems that all the tools are in hand
anyone know when to expect the device release, will it be consistent with the completion of the photochemical bleaching 2000 hour testing?
still waiting patiently
Rick, have you been following this one? The Seeking Alpha article said they planned a Nasdaq listing in June, anyone here know what happened? The recent pps drop caught my attention, the article is very positive, what's up?
POET Technologies About To Move From Stealth Mode To Wealth Mode

coolair, I don't think they would be going through the rigorous testing requirements of Telcordia GR468 if there was not great confidence that the desired final spec sheets could not be optimized for these materials and devices (I believe there are multiple material blends all undergoing the 2000 hour testings)
If so, there certainly will be a tipping point where those NDA players will start to step up their association and involvement here, and I would almost expect the pps to rise ahead of any formal press releases as the market always seems to know things ahead of retail investors
x, also cut and pasted from that article
The material has been shown to work in the near-infrared range of the spectrum, which is used in optical communications, and it is compatible with the complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing process used to construct integrated circuits. Such a technology could bring devices that process high-speed optical communications
still looks early stage
All optical communications could become over ten times faster with optical transistors 5000 times faster than silicon
http://nextbigfuture.com/2015/08/all-optical-communications-could-become.html
seems fairly early stage, Rick have you read much on this tech yet, what's your take on it, should we be worried?
Rick says IMO, this is where the tide changes and semiconductor companies have to be seriously considering getting in on the action or risking that someone else will.
Looks like we are catching a bid this morning with increasing volume, that is a good sign, hope you are right
KCC asks “Oxygen free environment”, “Nitrogen environment”….what does this mean? Is this for testing consistency or is it still possible that our material doesn’t survive ambient conditions and our devices will actually need some packaging?
Checked with Steve asking
Separately, Lightwave Logic has announced that in an attempt to induce changes in the photochemical structure of the Company's materials, it is well into its photochemical stability testing of its material candidates by exposing them to the visible light spectrum. The current testing has exceeded 500 hours of operation with no discernible change in the chemical structures in an oxygen free environment. This stability testing will continue until reaching 2000 hours, an accepted industry standard.
Is this indicative of the fact that Lightwave Logic devices will require expensive packaging ?
Steve replied "The short answer is no"
I talked with him further on the topic and there may be need of some sort of barrier layer on the chip, but not expected to be cost prohibitive, I think it is consistent with what we have been told before
Also inquired on the 2000 hour mark, and is a Tecordia requirement
honestly I am beginning to wonder if a buyout war could be triggered before an initial proto with full set of specs is ever released, if all those big boy companies with NDA's watching the developments progress may soon decide to try and grab the goose "that will" lay golden eggs BEFORE it lays its first golden egg
just sayin
liked this line in the pr --> We are happy to report that initial device testing has already begun using our silicon photonic chips."

BOOYAH !!
walter, my mistake, I just glanced at the filing last night and didn't realize it was just a final registration of the latest raise
must have something up their sleeve, just completed a raise for cash for about a year, so looks like additional cash needed for something, anyone have a clue about this cash need, x, walter, you guys probably closest to what's going on, anyone know anything please share with us starved for info investors here, tia
next week will mark 12 weeks since ASM, that is a long time for a public company to go without any progress updates, in fact, at that pace there would only be 4 updates in a whole year
how many material blends are we seriously working with?
are all of these material blends being worked with in device(s) at this point? what types of devices?
is the thermal testing (oven baking?) being done on just one material blend, or many? if one, does it cover all other blends?
what engineering hurdles (tweaking) are now "checked off" as success, and which are still struggle points?
based on the current progress in these 12 weeks, what timeline could be extrapolated for a successful completion & release of fully functional proto(s) with all specs on a data sheet which beat current industry standards?
what is the status of the photo bleaching testing? how long will it take to complete?
how many companies are we currently engaged with, and at what level of perceived interest? also, can we characterize these by relative size?
I could go on (and on) with things that investors want/need to know, but I think you get the idea ...
the pps drifts lower with the uncertainty of the opaque developments, so hows about a little transparency please
just saying...
pull up a 10 year chart, the truth is this stock has been essentially a flat line at 1.00 with small moves above and below, and yes without any news for 11 long weeks following the ASM it is not surprising the pps has drifted to the low side of a buck
wake us up Z, the right pr and we double instantly and triple within the day's trading
still, keeping the faith
I will guess Tuesday, July 28th at high noon (ET)
KCC, nice, I wasn't at the ASM, but I know those who were all walked away extremely confident, and I have posted several times essentially the same things that you are saying here, that yes, we have come a long way baby, and yes, all of the pieces are finally coming into place
my only gripe remains that I know there are things that could be shared with investors 10 long weeks after the ASM, and yet we wait twiddling thumbs on the outside, remember a pr every 10 weeks would yield only 5 total in a whole year, think about it Z, we ARE a public company
10th week since ASM, anyone know anything?
apparently we're working in a vacuum
about 50,000 shares at .75 at the open, hmmm?
