Am I missing something? Website is the same. Was a different site up for a short period of time?
Definitely a good sign, thanks for posting.
Point taken, but I believe even a well crafted video loop touting future development plans on a huge screen, just to get into the heads of those "heavies" that were in attendance to provoke some anticipation would have been worth every penny of the relative small cost involved. Add in a tall, busty blond to get some heads turning if all else fails:)
Good weekend to all!
I'll drink to that! I do find it to be a missed opportunity by management to not take the initiative to put together even a modest booth. Would not have cost that much and the benefits of the exposure would have certainly provided an exponential upside return on that modest investment. IMHO
Steve,
Did you happen to take any pictures of the LWLG booth? Did we even have a booth or were we just there as presenters?
Thanks!
From the same article:
This year’s Market Focus saw more attendees than ever before, according to the show organizer, and third day of presentations (with “the Cloud” to the fore), saw some of the show’s biggest names presenting. Notably, Facebook’s Katharine Schmidtke discussed the key role energy efficiency has in the cloud environment as bandwidth demands continue to grow. Her session was one of the best attended of the entire exhibition, with delegates clamoring to hear how Facebook is “revolutionizing the scale of optical and electrical interconnects in the data center”.
Interesting!
That's a handsome bunch of fella's! Looking forward to your comments Steve, again, thanks for keeping us informed.
ditto, thanks steve

Thanks Steve, happy to see Intel will be up immediately after us!
Not trying to be a "wiseguy", just looking for some clarity because I'd like to add to my holdings that I bought in 2004 and this could be the moment I've been waiting for.
Has anyone been able to determine when, where, how? Dr. Lebby will be making his presentation? We are not on the list of Exhibitors, in fact I can't find any clues as to what forum they will be presenting from?

Astute call Jack, all 2016 debt paid now, $144 ml cash left over. So now what?
From the 7/12/16 PR
"During the next several months we will unveil our first ridge waveguide modulator to address the requirements of the OC-48 (2.5 Gbps) and OC-192 (10 Gbps) carrier market. Given the amount of industry interest we have previously received, this initial effort is designed to prove that our P2IC™ platform can meet commercial requirements. However, the ultimate goal remains to demonstrate that our technology is scalable to 200 Gbps and beyond. We expect to meet that demand."
"several months" could imply as few as 2 months, September has always been my favorite month!

LightWave Logic Develops Polymer Photonics Technology Platform
Photonics.com
Jul 2016
LONGMONT, Colo., July 5, 2016 — Electro-optical technology provider Lightwave Logic Inc. is developing a polymer photonics technology platform to meet scaling metrics dictated by large data centers, telecommunications system operators and networking companies.
Lightwave’s component library includes slot waveguide modulators, ridge waveguide modulators, passive waveguides and waveguide splitters, and will now be expanded to include multiplexers, demultiplexers and spot-size converters, necessary for telecom and datacom devices.
The combination of Polymer Photonics with a silicon platform, such as a slot waveguide modulator coated with a thin coat polymer as the active component, will enable photonics to grow in integration density faster than before, beyond 1,000 photonics devices on a single chip. The components are low-cost and high-performance, allowing for high integration scaling design-rules.
"We continue to make steady progress in the development of our Polymer Photonics technology platform and are on track to achieve our stated goal to have our first demonstration device completed by the end of this year,” said Tom Zelibor, chairman and CEO of Lightwave Logic.
Lightwave Logic produces prototype electro-optic demonstration devices and is moving toward the commercialization of its high-activity, high-stability organic polymers for applications in electro-optical device markets.

Not out of the realm of possibility. Back in 2009 they bought a tiny little virtually unknown company which I owned, called On2 Technologies based out of NY that had an incredible IP portfolio based on Video Compression tech. for guess how much?? You guessed it, 0.60 cents ps that was converted into Google class A shares. Think YouTube, which Google bought in 2006 for a mere $1.6 billion!
Here's to better days ahead! Cheers!
Vol. 193.9k, quadruple average vol. What's up??
Good news, could someone comment on the 60 picometer/volts readout, is that average, very good or great??

SEC Form S-1
SHARE TWEET
What is the 'SEC Form S-1'
The SEC form S-1 is the initial registration form for new securities required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for public companies. Any security that meets the criteria must have an S-1 filing before shares can be listed on a national exchange.
Form S-1 requires companies to provide information on the planned use of capital proceeds, detail the current business model and competition, as well provide a a brief prospectus of the planned security itself, offering price methodology, and any dilution that will occur to other listed securities. The SEC also requires the disclosure of any material business dealings between the company and its directors and outside counsel.
Form S-1 is also known as the "Registration Statement Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933".

BREAKING DOWN 'SEC Form S-1'
Investors can view S-1 filings online to perform due diligence on new offerings prior to their issue. The form is sometimes amended as material information changes or general market conditions cause a delay in the offering.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1933, often referred to as the "truth in securities" law, requires that these registration forms are filed to disclose important information upon registration of a company's securities. This helps the SEC achieve the objectives of this act, which is requiring investors to receive significant information regarding securities offered, and to prohibit fraud in the sale of the offered securities.
A less rigid registration form is the S-3, which is for companies that don't have the same ongoing reporting requirements.

Fabrication process for 5D optical storage
Source: Optoelectronics Research Centre | YouTube
What would you do with centuries of stored data? Thanks to a team of scientists, humans may now be able to preserve a record of the entire history of humankind.
This week, the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton announced a breakthrough with a new device called the "Superman memory crystal"—evoking images of a device made famous in the 1980 hit movie "Superman II."
A process of etching data into the glass with a laser allows the memory crystal to be scanned in five dimensional (5D) digital data, while storing properties including a whopping 360 TB/disc data capacity. Additionally, the crystal is pretty tough to destroy: It boasts a thermal stability up to 1832 degrees Fahrenheit (1000 degrees Celsius) and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature.

In other words, the nanostructured glass could store data for nearly 14 billion years. Needless to say, that much capacity would make a lot of digital music and movie lovers very happy.
"It is thrilling to think that we have created the technology to preserve documents and information and store it in space for future generations," said Professor Peter Kazansky of the ORC. "This technology can secure the last evidence of our civilization; all we've learnt will not be forgotten."
According to the scientists who pioneered the crystal's design, it could be useful for organizations with big files to maintain. These include museums, libraries, and national archives to preserve their information and records, according to the university. Some of the documents that have been already been scanned by this new technology include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Newton's Opticks, the Magna Carta and King James Bible.
The technology was part of a 2013 experiment, in which a quartz chip successfully recorded a 300 kb digital copy of a text file in 5D. The dimensions include height, length, width, how the object is oriented, and position.
With this new technology, historians could record major documents using a laser that produces extremely short and intense pulses of light. After scanning, the file is written in three layers of nanostructured dots separated by a distance equivalent of one millionth of a meter.
The self-assembled nanostructures can change the way light travels through glass, changing the polarization of light similar to the way sunlight is changed in Polaroid sunglasses. But work on the crystal isn't done yet.
"Our next goal is to increase the speed of writing and develop a microscope-free read-out drive," said Rokas Drevinskas of the Physical Optics Group at Southampton University. "We are developing the technology similar to what is used for reading conventional CD/DVDs introducing the additional two dimensions."
The group hopes that with support from investors that they will be able to eventually reach the mass market in the next several years.

LONGMONT, Colo., Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (LWLG), 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, announced today that Michael Lebby, PhD will present the scientific and economic case for the Company's polymer photonic system as a future replacement platform for installed legacy photonic devices and emerging silicon photonic systems.

Polymer photonics is a newly coined term to describe the melding of highly miniaturized photonic circuitry with the power and scalability of organic polymer materials.
The photonics industry has applied the term silicon photonics to the integration of silicon based optical devices that can be placed on a separate chip or on a single chip that can fully integrate with conventional semiconductor manufacturing techniques. However, the active materials that accomplish the conversion of electrical information into pulses of light remain the same inorganic crystalline materials like Indium Phosphide (InP) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) used in legacy devices.
The concept of integrated photonics has been the subject of recent discussion in the photonics industry and the central focus of the forthcoming PIC Conference. The term relates to the powerful and ongoing trend to miniaturize and integrate multiple photonics functions on a single chip. Integrated Photonics is now evolving to also include photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which provide even greater functionality. Both silicon photonics as well as polymer photonics are platforms that can provide highly competitive PIC functionality, however polymer photonics promises vastly more compelling economics.
Tom Zelibor, Chairman and CEO of Lightwave Logic commented, "We are excited to garner the attention of the photonics industry and to have a luminary such as Dr. Lebby present the case for our technological solution that is both scalable in higher speed and performance, as well lower in cost structure. Both metrics are becoming extremely important to satisfy the communication needs in datacenter applications. Furthermore, Lightwave Logic over the past six months has been making amazing strides and I believe the Company is positioned well to display the virtues of polymer photonics platforms later this year.
"I will also be attending the conference with Dr. Lebby and meeting with numerous existing European investors in Lightwave's technology."
Dr. Michael Lebby also an Independent Director of Lightwave Logic stated, "The current technological solutions are struggling to meet the goals of datacenter customers, which opens the door for innovative new platforms like polymer photonics. Polymer photonics is a high performance solution that can scale quickly to the cost structures needed by datacenter customers. Polymer photonics takes advantage of the ease of using polymers that can be applied quickly and efficiently and in a low cost manner to silicon platforms. The Company has made tremendous progress over the last year and I look forward to raise awareness by putting Lightwave's organic polymer solutions on the industry radar for commercial evaluation."
