I have to admit, I don't mind seeing us right under Intel and Facebook

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Guess I was looking for the knock out pr. Announcing an offering and engaging customers with a generically packaged prototype for preliminary evaluation just sounds like another year marked off on the rock with a piece of charcoal from the fire. Gettin old and cranky I guess, but maybe I've earned the right to be, go PSI-Tech. circa 2004
Sorry Proto, I don't share your enthusiasm with the pr, been here since 2004 and I'm exhausted...if this is our big announcement for "fasten your seatbelts" I'm unclicking mine and looking for the nearest concrete wall to drive straight into.
"The company is engaging with prospective customers with a generic packaged prototype for preliminary evaluation."
not selling, just hope I live long enough to see this thing through

"Our materials are truly world class and are now being designed into high-performance photonic devices as part of a Photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) platform."
Now throw in a dash of Dr. Pecinovsky and it is clear that ML is putting together a team of the best and brightest to advance LWLG to the nest level. I haven't been paying attention to these recent additions to LWLG like I should have been, but I like what I see...
Dr. Pecinovsky obtained his doctoral degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Colorado in 2007, specializing in the synthesis of liquid crystal based polymer materials. Following his PhD, he worked as a researcher at the Colorado School of Mines, developing light sensitive polymer composites for neutron detection. He has spent 10 years in industry advancing the successful commercialization of electro-optic ferroelectric liquid crystal display technology. Dr. Pecinovsky came to Lighwave Logic in 2017 to lead the photonic polymer development program. He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed publications and patents resulting from his work developing and commercializing photonic materials.
Impressive...

Previously, she was Principal Analyst at Ovum, covering markets and advising vendors of advanced optical components and a broad range of other emerging technologies. Prior to joining Ovum, Dr. Liu architected DWDM networking products at Tellabs and IBM. She received a PhD in Applied Physics from Stanford University in the field of fiber optics, and a BSE in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University.
Thx for your analysis Proto, very helpful!

I'm not sure how easy it will be to make their own polymer photonics thought:))
Report just out that Amazon will start making networking switches, CSCO down almost 2% on the news. Their stating they will undercut current pricing by as much as 70-80%. Bezos is just playing with people's minds now. One comment that they are thinking of entering a space and a mass exodus occurs within the sector. Unreal!

"The 50G modulator that was demonstrated at the ASM should be close for testing by customers if not already."
Do we expect an announcement as soon as it's in customers hands or after the testing period is over?
What other catalysts are we anticipating near term or by year end?
TIA!

Applied Materials Breakthrough Accelerates Chip Performance in the Big Data and AI Era
7:30 am ET June 5, 2018 (Globe Newswire) Print
-- First metal change to transistor contact and interconnect in 20 years removes major performance bottleneck at the 7nm foundry node and beyond
-- Chip designers can now replace tungsten and copper with cobalt to increase performance by up to 15%
-- Applied's unique Integrated Materials Solution combines dry clean, PVD, ALD and CVD on the Endura platform, enabling customers to speed the adoption of cobalt
Applied Materials, Inc. today announced a breakthrough in materials engineering that accelerates chip performance in the big data and AI era.
In the past, classic Moore's Law scaling of a small number of easy-to-integrate materials simultaneously improved chip performance, power and area/cost (PPAC). Today, materials such as tungsten and copper are no longer scalable beyond the 10nm foundry node because their electrical performance has reached physical limits for transistor contacts and local interconnects. This has created a major bottleneck in achieving the full performance potential of FinFET transistors. Cobalt removes this bottleneck but also requires a change in process system strategy. As the industry scales structures to extreme dimensions, the materials behave differently and must be systematically engineered at the atomic scale, often under vacuum.
To enable the use of cobalt as a new conducting material in the transistor contact and interconnect, Applied has combined several materials engineering steps - pre-clean, PVD, ALD and CVD - on the Endura platform. Moreover, Applied has defined an integrated cobalt suite that includes anneal on the Producerplatform, planarization on the Reflexion LK Prime CMP platform and e-beam inspection on the PROVision platform. Customers can use this proven, Integrated Materials Solution to speed time-to-market and increase chip performance at the 7nm foundry node and beyond.
"Five years ago, Applied anticipated an inflection in the transistor contact and interconnect, and we began developing an alternative materials solution that could take us beyond the 10nm node," said Dr. Prabu Raja, senior vice president of Applied's Semiconductor Products Group. "Applied brought together its experts in chemistry, physics, engineering and data science to explore the broad portfolio of Applied's technologies and create a breakthrough Integrated Materials Solution for the industry. As we enter the big data and AI era, there will be more of these inflections, and we are excited to be having earlier and deeper collaborations with our customers to accelerate their roadmaps and enable devices we never dreamed possible."
While challenging to integrate, cobalt brings significant benefits to chips and chip making: lower resistance and variability at small dimensions; improved gapfill at very fine dimensions; and improved reliability. Applied's integrated cobalt suite is now shipping to foundry/logic customers worldwide.
Applied Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMAT) is the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world. Our expertise in modifying materials at atomic levels and on an industrial scale enables customers to transform possibilities into reality. At Applied Materials, our innovations make possible the technology shaping the future. Learn more at www.appliedmaterials.com.

Thx Proto!
"if 50gbs beta-protos get into customers hands in 2-3 months, then evaluations and orders likely in late 2018,"
proto, was this statement made at the meeting or is this your assumption? Thx

Earlier in the week there was a health care executive interviewed on CNBC after the news about AMZN, Berk, and JP Morgan forming their own health care initiative, can't remember his name, but he said something that stuck with me, he said that so much data is being generated by the industry that the data DOUBLES every 73 days. That's profound and opens the door for those who can capitalize on such a phenomenon. Patiently waiting:)
Try to wrap your mind around the amount of Data that will be needed to support 20B + devices connecting to the Web in just 2 short years...

correction, $38B is the tax bill for the repatriation of overseas funds
Apple announced will repatriate $38B and build a second new HQ, wow
Apple just announced huge Capex spending plan $30B over next 5 yrs, 20k new jobs, $10B allocated to new Data Center development, Advanced Manufacturing Unit goes from $1B to $5B.
I sure wouldn't mind a press release sometime soon!
CNBC just did a shot from Wenatachee, WA the Bitcoin mining capital of the US, MC Cabrara in the back server room, 1800 Chinese made servers about half the size of a shoe box. They try to mine 5-7 Bitcoins per day, the 1800 servers equal the power used in 11k homes per day, The company hopes too quadruple Bitcoin production by the summer and expand power consumption to 42 MW from the 7MW that they use per day. Each server costs $10k, The reason they are in WA is for the ample hydro power from the river. This stuff blows my mind!

And the weak hands fall out of the shaking tree. Thank you for your shares.
Corning Inc. said Monday it agreed to buy almost all of 3M Co.'s optical fiber and copper cable business for $900 million in cash.
3M's communications markets division, which is based in Austin, Texas , generates about $400 million a year in sales, the company said. About 500 3M employees will join Corning as part of the deal, which is expected to be completed in 2018.
"After completing a thorough strategic review, we believe that this business will be well positioned with Corning," Ashish Khandpur , 3M's executive vice president for its electronics and energy business group, said in prepared remarks.
The deal will add to Corning's 2019 per-share earnings by between 7 cents and 9 cents , it said. 3M said it expects to realize a gain of 40 cents a share from the divestiture.
Corning said it plans to spend between $1 billion and $3 billion on acquisitions as part of its multiyear capital- allocation plan.
Interesting, Corning to buy 3m communications markets division..
