Proto, it sits on top of the messages. You are looking too high at the list of company statements.
Understand all about it. Sometimes it is very difficult not to react even if you know that your reaction will work as oxigen on a fire and you feel you abase yourself to a low level. Nice to see you have human shortcomings as well.
Proto, are you guys in competition with each other on different boards? We must be getting news any day now. Running low on cash, no pp in the works....must be any day now!
Pumpkin, here my suggestion:
Why not join many of us in Brussels end of this month and ask Lebby himself face to face instead of spreading unsubstantiated accusations on this board.
Lightwave Logic’s Plastics Defy Stereotypes and Save Power
Press Release | 02/28/2019
ENGLEWOOD, CO, Feb. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) today announced a major breakthrough in its development of clean technology polymer materials that target the insatiable demand for fast and efficient data communications in the multi-billion-dollar telecom and data markets supporting Internet, 5G and IoT (Internet of Things) webscale services. The improved thermally stable polymer has more than double the electro-optic response of the Company’s previous materials, enabling optical device performance of well over 100 GHz with extremely low power requirements. This addition to the family of PerkinamineTM polymers will hold back run-away consumption of resources and energy needed to support ever-growing data consumption demands. The Company anticipates it will continue rigorous testing of the material and its performance in device structures during the remainder of this year before releasing it into full device development. Meanwhile, the Company will continue on the path of customer engagement with its 50 GHz modulators.

Lightwave Logic develops Faster by Design™ extremely high-speed photonic devices and electro-optical polymer materials systems. These devices and materials promise to minimize added costs and energy consumption as data traffic grow by enabling network operators to run fewer, but faster, communications links than would be possible otherwise. Optical components made with conventional technologies such as semiconductors are hitting fundamental physical speed limits. Electro-optic polymers have excellent natural properties, which results in both unmatched speed and lower drive voltage. The Company has already developed 50 GHz optical devices based on its existing polymer electro-optic materials whose speeds exceed the 30 - 40 GHz1 of leading semiconductor products. The improved material doubles the speed and halves the devices’ voltage requirements.
Dr. Joseph A. Miller, Jr., long time Lightwave Logic Board member commented, “Congratulations Lightwave. In my nearly fifty-year association with materials development, your accomplishment ranks right at the top. Your focus on polymer-based electro-optic systems recognized their potential to provide the highest speed in data communications. You have created a material set that could make that potential a reality. Such breakthroughs always bring great anticipation for the future. This is no exception.”
Dr. Michael Lebby, CEO of Lightwave Logic, Inc. stated, "I could not be more excited or prouder of our team for this accomplishment. They have raised the bar and set what could be a new industry standard for many years to come. Polymer electro-optics can break through today’s technology limitations to give us both fast and energy efficient data communications. We are anxious to get this material into a test device within the next 6 months while we continue developing existing polymer device prototypes for evaluation by potential customers. Our team’s recent success demonstrates that we are the premier company on the verge of engineering commercially viable, advanced electrooptic materials and devices beyond what has been achieved before.”
1 30 - 40 GHz modulators are used in a variety of 100 and 200 Gigabit per second transmission schemes.

MC, I agree. Everything which holds great promise, like LWLG, will be discovered by the market at some moment without the normal marketing and sales activities. LWLG better keeps the funding from Lincoln at a bare minimum for the time being. I believe several people have asked LWLG management to improve their e-mail service to subscribers to their news releases. That cannot be too costly. Moreover learning from their participation in an investment event from a third party website is not desirable as well. But... I do like their participation and search for new investment opportunities and I do like their fantastic progress.
I guess 236T568 has a day off ?
Hardly any Sellers. This could be fun.
Great News. Finally going to investment community as well. WoW. They made my day. Adios Great Pumpkin!
Great Pumpkin, your links get me to (1) 2019 website with 70 Gpbs as maximum and (2) a link to a March 2018 date. Is there a reason you refer to 2015? It seems to me you have been giving accurate and up to date information without knowing it. There is no 100 or 130 Gpbs test equipment avalable as Proto stated. LWLG has been working with test equipment supplier(s) since 2018 to be able to test their over a 100 Gbps speeds. It seems to me you are confused.
I feel the same.
Thanks Gatesoft. Have sent your link to Lebby. Donot know how to interpret this pr and its forecasted time line. Would I be happy with 22 million from Google? Depends on conditions. I guess Google is smart enough to leave them little room to wiggle now and in the future. i also see they are in silicon, which we know has its limitations for photonics. The reference to Applied Optoelectronics is also telling, they are in high speed as well. This company sells also old ‘ electronic’ technology and saw its SP go from around $ 100 to 17.
Paullee, have a look at the PIC international conference in Brussels ( March 2019) website. Look at organizers ( AIM, EPIC) level of participants ( Intel, Facebook etc) and speakers. You will understand that this is the absolute “ crème de la crème” of industry and academia coming together. Michael Lebby is chairman of the conference and speaker on polymer photonics over and beyond 100 Gpbs. If this is not answering your question, call the company.
That last alinea about the price of vanadium compared to niobium is revealing. I did not know that. May indeed give niobium another competitive advantage in future.
In my book they have enough funding to keep going for another two months since no PP has been announced. Than we still have Mark Smith’s deep pockets to keep us going somewhat longer. If we were days away, as Monocle claims, we would have seen a PP announcement already. It takes two months to get a PP successfully organized. I bet we will see financing in the next two months. Just my opinion.
Always happy to see your posts. Best indication of your ongoing interest and endorsement of LWLG! Keep up your deep company analysis and stock reporting!
Messi, I am hoping we will see a public endorsement from a reputable big customer before the conference. I am sure this would really add huge credibility to Lebby’s presentation. During past conferences we have seen Lebby increasing awareness, understanding and anticipation on polymers, devices and photonic integration using polymers. This is probably the last conference before market launch.
Thanks Proto. Where does this new direct drive patent position us relative to competition and how close is LWLG now to unlocking the value of its hardware ( having, as it seems, finalized and formalized this specific ideation process)?
I think that this patent is another very important step in the productcreation process . It looks like further simplification, costreduction and performance enhancement . LWLG is using its uniqueness in polymer materials and devices to completely sideline the competition ( on paper at least ). LWLG is already leapfrogging its own 50 Gig modulators. I cannot but conclude, that LWLG is further ahead than we know. I remain confident we will see the results of the ongoing customer evaluations pretty soon. Great news!
AO, let’s hope so. I am somewhat hesistant to accept this. Brazils’ politicians of all colours have always shown to be very susceptable for ‘gold and monies’, especially for vast amounts of it! Hope you are right. Better to have a diversified supply base for strategic minerals.
AO, by the way, the Chinese government has put $ 72 Billion aside for investment in Brazil. I am sure also Largo is somewhere on their shortlist. The Chinese have already heavily invested in Brazil and aim to consolidate their monopoly like dominance in the rare earth and strategic minerals arena. Would be bad if vanadium, a designated US strategic material, would end up in Chinese hands as well. There are lot of market and customer synergies for these strategic materials and their alloys, enabling downstream operating efficiencies and customer leverage. Pity if the Chinese would walk away with this opportunity.
Thanks for your explanation. Merging is of course just ‘ one card in a deck of cards “. Capital structure and corporate structure are variable elements in this game of cards. Get your point though. It is undesirable and on top of that highly unlikely that Largo will become a majority owner in Niocorp.
Not surprised on your stand, albeit - in this paricular case - you always make statements without any further substantiation. Given your immaculate track record and your authority on this board, I am
surprised on your constant intervention when this Largo and Niocorp cooperation line of thought gets discussed. You could just let go and disregard the discussion all to gether.
Strangely enough you always opt to intervene and to kind of stop this thread of discussion, giving the impression you know more than us ‘mortals’. Maybe you do or you donot! In case you do, you cannot reveal anything, I understand, in case you donot ( like of all of us ) you owe us your argumentation. It is too easy to just jump on an accidentally passing bus.
Optical Modulators Market 2019: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast To 2025 – Bitcoin Journal....

AO, thanks for posting. The overall strategy towards an American alloys and critical minirals juggernaut would make a lot of sense. First, from a geo- political point of view. It allows the USA to block the Chinese worldwide inroad into the rare earth and critical minerals arena ( which the Chinese are starting to dominate and will use as powerful weapon to achieve their global political ambitions : remember how Japanese imports for rare earths from China were stopped after Chinese fishermen were arrested for fishing in Japanese waters a few year ago, think current US-Chinese trade negotiations). A lot of strategic industries in the USA and Europe are depending on access to these minerals and ownership is the best option for future political and economic success. Blocking the Chinese in Brazil ( Largo) may well fit into this strategy. Combining Elk Creek, IBC and Largo is therefore a logic option. Mark is now heading all three companies, he is a major shareholder in all three. This cannot just be coincidence, there is a plan. Obstacles are being removed. Based on what I observe happening and my understanding of global politics, I remain convinced that it would make sense to combine these companies into one US listed, integrated Alloys and Special Castings Company.
I am sure Warren Buffett and the Trump administration would agree.
Well , get out than!
Please elaborate. I see integrated polymer photonics and on the global technology roadmap of AIM and ECOC in the years ahead! Outdated? You must have insights unknown to the current global photonics science - and business community.
I guess you mean weird in stead of ‘wierd’. Slip of the tongue?
Who is this gentleman with Michael Lebby?
Peter O’ Brian...
That breakfast went very well indeed. https://t.co/6nfErGrrVM

Like the poem. Catches nicely our human journey into the unknown and our worldly expectations of great future happiness. Mankind remains a mystery. Building mines we do well however.
Messi, correct. There is a difference between testing : performance and reliability testing ( couple of weeks, months at most) and “ a design in process” ( easily a year depending on the industry) by a third party. I assume I will not have to elaborate on this.
Always appreciated when people put in the “extra mile”. Thanks CritM3 for your status overview and future state.
Bertjan, Lebby just did his first LWLG interview with “ Wallstreet”. Have a look at the link posted on a prvious message. This is telling for the confidence LWLG is having in being close to succes and the first of a series of interviews, I guess, wiith the wider investment community. This should help to raise awareness and attract new investors over time, but we need more concrete proof than words. We need a reputable telecom or datacom company endorsement. I am convinced that will come soon.
Lebby talks about speed, scaleability and cost and LWLG fiber optics outperforming current semi conductor solutions. He does not talk about low voltage . He knows of course that this is a very important customer requirement. Delivering this will add to LWLG's uniqueness for the datacenters and "kill" competitors. Giving away low voltage at this stage is not required. Speed, scaleability and cost may be enough imo at this stage to attract new investors and silence any criticasters from the industry.
Great, first LWLG substantive interview with Wallstreet investment community. This is what we need to create awareness and understanding among new investors. Just listen to the.confidence of Lebby if he talks about the role of LWLG as hardware manufacturer for the datacom industry in the next two decades. This sounds like LWLG is the new Intel in photonics devices in speed and cost.
Bertjan, let me give you my five cents. First volume is low. That means 80 million shares hardly change owner. Good news people do not want to sell. Bad news few new buys. Little volume drives price. LPC may OWN 4,99% of LWLG and needs to deliver cash against shares at marketprices. Two consequences 1. surplus shares/ownership above 4,99% are sold in a low volume market ( drives price down) 2. LPC has an incentive to drive SP down to lower its average SP for their 4,99% ownership ( maximizes potential upside in case of succes). As is often said, the moment we find a partner or funding because of commercial activities this may change dramatically.
Bertjan, let’s say LWLG learned the hard way and Zelibor understood pretty fast upon arrival that he needed to take control on material and device development by moving it in house. As others said focus on the present and the future.. LWLG survived where others went belly up. Moreover LWLG made fantastic progress. I expect news on commercialization next. Met Lebby a few times, no doubt in my mind that he will deliver.
MaxzMillionz, it is a real pleasure to read your messages. Thanks for your input on this board.
Messi, just take this market, assume a marketshare of 25, 50% ( or more?) for LWLG ( unique material and devices) and take current Ebitda percentage of Intel ( conservative) and you end up with a potential conservative Revenue of 6-12 B and an very conservative ebitda for LWLG of 3B -6B in 2024.That would easily command a pricetag of 15 - 30 B. LWLG offers new photonics technology where existing technology cannot compete. If I see what prices are offered for existing technologies , I sincerely believe my ‘ back of the enveloppe” calculation is probably very modest. This does not even account for other market opportunities by the way.
