From the Open Letter
This ability has recently generated two new materials that are so innovative that we are in the process of filing provisional patents to protect the intellectual property.
"Three-Way Collaboration
We are entering into a 3-way collaboration with University of Colorado and a yet to be named third-party to work on advanced photonic devices. This is the same entity that provided the plug and play modulator device that was coated with our material. We hope to expand this collaboration and will have more to say about it when the agreement is complete."
so is Corning the unnamed 3rd party?
so who is the LSS we have been working with for the past few years, could it be Corning all along?
I'd bet Corning tried working with Soluxra before deciding that Lightwave was the way to go, sorry BS
coolair I think you hit the nail on the head saying
My guess is that Corning and LWLG have been working together for some time and finally made something that works.
I think the summer effort with the hundreds of devices will be fruitful
I also think Corning will become a funding partner
Tom Z should host a conf call, 10k, Corning, other developments should be discussed with investors imo
DLucky, looks to me that the two companies are combining efforts now, so it broadens the material base and the patent base, I don't think Corning would be doing this unless the two were synergistic
Tom Zelibor , chairman and CEO of Lightwave Logic commented, "We are extremely pleased to acquire rights to Corning's organic electro-optical materials. Together with the recent advancements we have made developing our new multi-chromophore synthesis process, the addition of these materials will significantly expand the number of potential chromophore combinations to drive the continuous improvement of powerful nonlinear organic electro-optical materials. These materials will be used in state of the art photonic devices to fulfill today's needs and the future demands of data centers and telecommunications networks for many years to come."
Corning may be a financial backer for next round of funding here as well
Rickface, what's your take on this development?
Nice to see us formally aligned with a big name company, but not what I was expecting, so now we are combining portfolios of e/o materials and patent rights apparently, if nothing else it should enhance the summer development process of the hundreds of devices
BOOYAH! Lightwave Logic Acquires Worldwide License Agreement to Corning's Organic Electro-Optical Materials
LONGMONT, Colo. , April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) has entered into a sole worldwide license agreement with Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) enabling Lightwave to integrate Corning's organic electro-optical chromophores into Lightwave Logic's portfolio of electro-optic polymer materials. The agreement allows Lightwave 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. Lightwave Logic is a technology company focused on the development of Next Generation Photonic Devices and Non-Linear Optical Polymer Materials Systems for applications in high-speed fiber-optic data communications and optical computing.
I think the key here is:
The agreement allows Lightwave 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
Samples were damaged due to either flawed preparation or damage during poling.
so basically BS damaged the materials, then claims no e/o activity found, hmmm, how conclusive can this be?
BS, why are you not bound by NDA if you have worked directly with the perk?
I agree DLucky, the 10K release should have an investor call to add color by management, without it you get a message board trying to add its own color which may or may not be all that productive of an effort
I don't think it is too late for them to host a conference call this week, perhaps the activity on this message board will have served as a indicator of topics that need further discussion by them, and to that point your list is a great start
BS said I post in spurts when I'm either on a plane or waiting for an experiment to finish
in an earlier post BS said, I'm not trying to increase my credibility but I will tell you that I have worked with Academia (not a professor because I despise most), Industry (optics, semiconductors), and most recently investors.
BS, are you currently a scientist or a stock broker?
Gates, I hear you, there have been as many disappointments as positive developments along the way, but only in the past couple of years has the larger pieces of the puzzle been fitted to place, the patents, the decent funding from LPC allowing for proper labs & people, the refinement of the materials creation process to commercially viable levels, the shift in focus to drive the commercialization by creating devices in-house, personally I believe the recent (past 2 years) have produced developments at a much faster pace, and I remain confident that the team is now working to fit the smaller puzzle pieces into place, fine tuning of the recently pr'd plug-n-play proto, and with the summer receipt of the lightwave designed chips they will be fine tuning 100's of devices, I would expect this to be where we finally get our true long awaited validation, much more detailed specs, and another expansion funded by much larger partner participation
thanks gates, so
Dr. Louis Glasgow, Lightwave's Chief Technology Officer stated, "While Dr. Norwood's group attempted to utilize the existing material samples in order to have a direct comparison with earlier measurements, these were not compatible with the technical specifications of the new Arizona testing procedure.
looks like the truth of that situation cannot be known for sure, but for BS to essentially be calling lightwave materials a fraud, a bust, worthless, or whatever, even if Norwood's test of that particular Indigo batch didn't come out with positive results is way over the top bashing of a science that has been in development now for a decade, and clearly has had some astounding results along the way, and has retained TT for what 8+ years, and amassed a veritable who's who of other notables on board with this materials development process, personally I stand with them, not with BS
University of Arizona Confirms Unprecedented Performance of PSI-TEC's Broadband Telecom and High-Speed Computational Nanotechnology
Measurements Conducted at Renowned University Confirm PSI-TEC's Technology Outperforms Competitive Designs by a Factor as High as 700%
WILMINGTON, Del.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 13, 2006— PSI-TEC Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PTHO), announced today that scientists at the University of Arizona have confirmed that under identical laboratory conditions, PSI-TEC Corporation's recent molecular design (i.e., nanotechnology) outperforms one of the industry's highest performance electro-optic systems by a factor as high as 700%. This new class of molecular designs is expected to serve as the foundation of the company's product base in the telecom and high-speed computer markets with potential applications for the U.S. military and other government agencies.
Dr. Robert Norwood, a research professor at the University of Arizona who supervised the testing procedure, stated, "Our analyses have confirmed that the 1550 nm electro-optic performance (i.e., standard parameters for high-speed fiber-optic telecommunication) of PSI-TEC's newest compound, Perkinamine-NR at low concentrations in PMMA is approximately six to seven times larger than the activity of the same concentration in PMMA of CLD-1, one of the industry's highest performance electro-optic compounds." PMMA is an industry standard material substrate used in the evaluation of organic electro-optic materials.
The University of Arizona boasts one of the most highly renowned and fastest growing optical sciences departments in the world. Dr. Robert Norwood has spent his professional and academic careers developing and managing electro-optic programs. Prior to his position at the University of Arizona, Dr. Norwood worked in senior positions for over ten years at Hoechst Celanese and AlliedSignal, early frontrunners in the field of electro-optics. He is a reviewer for Applied Optics, Applied Physics Letters, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Optics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of the Optical Society of America B, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Nonlinear Optics, among many others. Dr. Norwood holds twenty patents in the field and over two dozen publications and book chapters.
The electro-optic (r33) performance of CLD-1 at equi-molar concentrations in PMMA was measured by University of Arizona scientists to be 1.7 pm/V at 1550 nm. Dr. Norwood explained, "Identical poling fields were applied to the two materials and the measured electro-optic coefficient of (PSI-TEC Corporation's) 3% by weight Perkinamine-NR film was 12 pm/V."
As a result of these positive test results, the company's management and scientists are now in contact with several high-end technology leaders in an effort to customize PSI-TEC Corporation's future product line for specific near-term and anticipated long-term industry applications.
BS, seems to me there were good results reported by Norwood on Perk as far back as 2006, are you saying the materials are devolving?
again, how convenient for you BS
BS I will repeat my request of you in case you "missed it" amongst all the postings here, I await your reply
BSmith said, I'm not trying to increase my credibility but I will tell you that I have worked with Academia (not a professor because I despise most), Industry (optics, semiconductors), and most recently investors.
In addition, in quite a few of your posts you seem to be pumping the following:
1) Soluxra
2) Alex Jen
3) UW
Also, you still have not replied to my repeated request related to if you are under an NDA with LWLG since you claim to have had 1st hand workings with lightwave materials
Also, you have stated in post #9503 I have no association with GIG or LWLG. I do know a lot more about LWLG than I am telling you. I told you a few things in the previous post
Your claim to having no association with GIG or LWLG seems contradictory to your claim to having had 1st hand workings with lightwave materials
Also, you seem to refer to yourself as a "researcher", and you have said you are not a chemist (FWIW)
Also, you on multiple occasions have said the following (not necessarily in exact words)
1) take what I am saying with a grain of salt
2) I'm not here to trash the company or the materials
3) there is always some degree of lying/untruths within the science industry
Lastly, you certainly have "AMPED UP" your attack on lightwave just before Christmas, timing-wise this is coincident with the GIG stock offering by Roth & the other broker (who coincidently BOTH put out BUY rating on GIG a couple weeks prior to the stock offering & managed to get the stock pps to jump 30% prior to announcing the offering brokered by the same two brokers)
So, riddle me this, what reasons caused you to bounce from Academia, to Industry, and now to Investing?
Also, how long ago did you bounce to Investing, and presumably out of Science completely?
Also, interesting that in several of your posts you express disdain for professors
Also, what brokerage firm are you working with currently, and are you involved with any public stock offerings?
BTW, I am currently driving in my 1977 Pinto multitasking writing this post while changing out my 8 Track tape to listen to this Kansas song now
oh how convenient for you BS
BS says If you want to get a good sense of what is going on in a developmental company look at how optimistic its employees are. to me the employees don't seem very optimistic. the optimistic people are mainly Tom, Jim, and Lou and you know I don't trust any of them at all.
again, seems like you are a fly stuck on the lightwave wall, you seem to "know it all"
give us some names of employees of lightwave that are not optimistic please tia
personally I think much of what you say is pure BS, you clearly have an agenda imo
BS why is everything a secret with you, pot calling kettle black concept, what's the big whoop, spill the beans, names and titles of those departing and those replacing them, I don't think this is classified info, am I wrong?
BS, please tell us who quit & who they hired to replace them, seems you are a fly on the lightwave wall , tia
names & titles too tia
great post KCC (except for the LiNBO ref), I'm on the same page as you, I believe it is all coming together now, really really
and X, quit toying with us please
still... keeping the faith!
is it possible that politics plays too large a part in who gets the govt grant monies? isn't jen connected to soluxra and univ of washington as well? remember lumera got all the grant monies as well
gates, only thing I found on soluxtra website regarding thermal stability was this:
Excellent thermal and mechanical properties over broad temperature range
imo, if they had thermal stability to withstand CMOS processing then they would have noted that more specifically
am I missing something more specific elsewhere that you have seen?
gates, I agree, if there are a couple of items in the 10k that you feel are particularly noteworthy X please share it with us here so we can discuss tia
three to five years wise, please say it's not so, I don't think buz, six and prop have that much patience, haha
in the almost decade of time that I have been hanging around here this company has historically run on a shoestring budget with "going concern" always a part of the financials, they have many on board that could literally fund this thing themselves, or through their personal networks at a minimum I'm sure, but if the promise is real and the devices begin to emerge this summer/fall then funding should be a non-event, if not then all these heavyweights will just have to find another water cooler to hang out for their daily chit chat
x, seems like the pace of developments is accelerating rapidly now, I think Z should host an investor call to provide color on all of the developments
10k is available here's a link
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1325964/000155335014000315/lwlg_10k.htm
10k should be out today right?
hopefully we get an investor call to discuss progress notes
thanks Gates, that puts us in 6-12 month window today, I would expect the pace of pr's to accelerate in this time frame if we indeed have what we all believe are true game changing next gen materials
I think they are currently have funding on hand to take them to late 2014 correct?
my guess would be next round of funding may be an investment by a fortune 100 company, we'll see
keeping the faith!
go Z and co!
10K should be out soon, hopefully Z will schedule an investor update call as well, investors need something to chew on whilst waiting for the IMEC devices to show up which is still a couple months out
timing wise based on the 12-18 month window to be designed in, and the 100's of devices from IMEC being coated with various material concoctions and characterized, it is looking like the do or die time frame comes out being relatively close to the patch visit 2014 right?
As I have told the shareholders before, we needed to demonstrate that our materials would actually work in a device and now it is time to optimize the material performance for these revolutionary devices. It is important to consider that this is a starting point and unlike inorganic compounds, organic nonlinear optical polymers can be chemically altered to improve performance since their molecular structure allows manipulation and offers a pathway to better-and-better results."
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lightwave-logic-nonlinear-optical-materials-153000031.html
also, this sounded pretty good to me already:
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 proprietary Lightwave Logic 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. Lightwave's material also operates in the 1310 nanometer frequency band, which is suitable for data communications applications.
I agree with you X, I think since they got the decent funding with LPC the progress notes have been very focused and should result in what we are all waiting for sometime this summer in the weeks/months that they apply variations of the materials and characterize the results, device by device
So far they have proven the concept of a working (plug-n-play)proto albeit with limited specs, but those specs were terrific, and they have designed their own device now for manufacture
Device Achieves Greater Electro-Optical Activity and Lower Drive Voltage than Industry Standard Legacy Inorganic Modulators
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lightwave-logic-successfully-demonstrates-operating-132500501.html
If they fail to achieve a working proto from hundreds of attempts subsequent to receiving the IMEC devices it would be quite a disappointment to the faithful here, now there may be some in-between zone, where the characterized devices may not be holy grail worthy, but still much better than anything out there, imo, that would still validate the tech and spark quite a rally
Rick, I agree with you totally, I think Z has been straightforward with investors, and the developments seem to be progressing well lately since the company has gained some decent funding and improved its focus on devices now, looks now like summer will be very telling time frame, in the weeks/months after getting the now designed devices back in quantity and coating with various materials and characterizing, I would hope for some concrete proof of a prototype device with outstanding detailed specs, if not it would be challenging to KTF
interesting trading going on lately imo, not sure what to make of it but seems like things may be heating up a bit now for whatever reason, I'd like to believe it is signaling a positive event horizon just ahead for us, would be nice
someone just took a 10k share bite at the .95 (ask) wall which didn't flinch, would like to see a few more like that push through rapid fire
in theory it creates overhead resistance for pps to increase, however, it creates opportunity for anyone wanting a substantial position sub-$1 level, if I had the liquidity I'd buy em
hoping the summer brings our big breakthrough
keeping the faith!
somebody is buying today with increased volume too, maybe a pr is brewing? would be nice...
Steve, that looks EXACTLY like the path we have been on here, lol, hopefully we straighten it out here 2014!
Wiseguy, thanks for weighing in, I think we are on the same page, although I don't really care about the sales right now, just the detailed specs, because I know that the pps will price in the sales long before they occur once we have a device completed with proven tons the best detailed specs
Remember, from the BNS/LADAR pr it stated,
The material we delivered is the product and result of the new synthesis process we recently announced.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lightwave-logic-electro-optic-polymer-173000839.html
So I am thinking that at this point the materials are already up to snuff for internal development of the transceiver, and hopefully for the LSS too, I hope this is more than wishful thinking and would love to see Z issue a pr confirming that they have coated a new batch of devices for the LSS as this would signal the additional parameters have been met
