yes a lot of i told ya so today. who cares, none of you ever mentioned anything like this. that said i have been waiting for an event like this to happen for years. this to me is the biggest news in pretty much forever. this is the first validation we have ever seen and to see tom give up his cushy salary says someone told him how much he could make on his options. we have a technical working ceo and hopefully soon a world class scientist who can serve as our cto. great job guys on getting this done and looking forward to the future. shocked to say the least but very happy.
no elite hires. just the same bs. tom and jim get paid but shareholers suffer. but hey its all good
test test.... is anyone home
preety sure this will be followed by 10 X posts that claim to tell why they are doing single mode. ya baby. lets go
no public results? hmmm what could they be hiding? why?
boooyaa!!!!!
boooyaa!!!!!
que TZ speech that all is good and we only need a FEW more months
que tom aelibor speech that we are loser than ever!
NEXT year we MIGHT have something to show you all!! YAAAY!!!!
NEXT year we MIGHT have something to show you all!! YAAAY!!!!
was holding out a bit of hope but for the love of god, this is absolute crazy
thats certainly what your your wife said. no optical loss measurements..... are you fricking kidding me? oh wait the device length is to short. sounds plausible. lol. but hey, 60 pv/m is the equivelent to 60 ghz. lol are you f'ing kidding me?

no walter or x replies needed. your pumps of this stock and its science has been duly noted. nothing substaniated except complete conjecture.
why was the bleached waiveguide mod the next best thing, until it was cancelled for the ridge waiveguide modulator. suppossedly commercially viable.
not acording to dluckly who you all dont want to address. not commercially viable as well but will be used as a baseline. how are you proving your material in a device that is NOT commercially viable as oposed to an actual slot waiveguide mod that we need a partner for to move forward?
serious question for anyone/all who want to respond.

did that said modulator blow up? why did they say they need a partner to move it forward?
In January 2014 we created a new methodology to combine multiple chromophores into a single polymer host that significantly improves their ability to generate more powerful organic, nonlinear electro-optical polymer systems. The new synthetic chemistry process can enable multiple chromophores (dyes) to work in concert with each other within a single polymer host. This proprietary process has created two new material systems, which have demonstrated outstanding electro-optic values. In addition, we now have a significant amount of data on the thermal aging of our materials. We have demonstrated that our materials can withstand more than 2,000 hours at 110 degrees C with little to no change in electro-optic activity in our materials, which is a significant milestone. To our knowledge, this is something that has not been achieved before in any polymer. We are also concurrently coating prototype waveguides with our proprietary material system.
In February 2014 we received our first purchase order for our advanced organic nonlinear electro-optic polymer from Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) of Boulder, Colorado in connection with the development of a next generation LADAR system. A LADAR system is a radar system that utilizes a pulse laser to calculate the distance to a target, but is also capable of rendering a 3-D image. In the event BNS continues to move forward with the development of this LADAR system, we expect to receive additional purchase orders from BNS.
******NOTHING CAME OF THIS****
In March 2014 we began the process of manufacturing an advanced design Silicon Organic Hybrid Transceiver prototype and we released the completed chip design to the OpSIS Center at the University of Delaware who contracted with a third party to produce the initial silicon chips, which were delivered to us in December 2014 and January 2015. We are currently qualifying and testing these chips for utilization in our Silicon Organic Transceiver. The initial application will target inter-data center interconnections of more than 10 kilometers. Our next design will utilize a different frequency and address the current bottleneck in the rack-to-server layer at distances greater than 500 meters.
******NOTHING CAME OF THIS****
In April 2014 we entered into a sole worldwide license agreement with Corning Incorporated enabling us to integrate Corning's organic electro-optical chromophores into our portfolio of electro-optic polymer materials. The agreement allows us 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.
******PAYING ZERO UNDER THE TERMS PROBABLY MEANS IT DOESN’T MATTER****
In August 2014 the University of Colorado successfully fabricated and tested a bleached electro-optic waveguide modulator designed and fabricated through a sponsored collaborative research agreement. The results of this initial bleached waveguide modulator correlated well with previous electro-optic thin film properties. These initial results of our first in-house device were significant to our entire device program and were an important starting point for our current modulators that are being developed for target markets. We have multiple generations of new materials that we are optimizing for this specific design.
******NOTHING CAME OF THIS**** BWM DEAD.
In October 2014 we submitted an order with Reynard Corporation to produce gold-layered fused silica substrates for our bleached waveguide modulators to be coated with several of our organic electro-optical polymers, which we received in early November and performance tested throughout December. In May, 2015, we subsequently decided to eliminate this product from our commercial development plans due to its limited commercial value, low speed characteristics, difficulty to mass-produce and limited ability to integrate with existing architectures. In lieu of this development program, a commercially viable prototype ridge waveguide modulator program was started to replace the bleached waveguide development. We believe that the ridge waveguide modulator represents a viable telecom device opportunity for the Company that does not have the inherent limitations seen in bleached waveguide structure
******NOTHING CAME OF THIS**** BWM DEAD.
In May 2015 we achieved operating capability of our in-house Class 100 Clean Room where we do thin film processing and expect to complete the development of prototype photonic devices enabled by our advanced organic electro-optic polymer material systems in a timelier manner. Additionally, the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) certified three of our employees, which allows us access to JILA’s world-class semiconductor facility located at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Access to this facility provides us with better control over the quality of our development work and the speed at which it progresses.
*****DUH!!!!******
In August 2015 we completed 2,000+ hours of thermal aging tests of several blends of materials created by our multi-chromophore process, which included lengthy exposure to high temperatures (850C and 1100C). The data collected indicated minimal loss of electro-optical activity (R33) of our materials, which means that our organic polymers are expected to provide decades of operational performance. These results exceed previously published efforts for other organic polymers and are an important part of our commercialization effort as we begin to implement these material systems into advanced photonic devices for the telecom and datacom markets.
Additionally, in August 2015, we completed 500+ hours of photochemical stability testing of our material candidates by exposing them to the visible light spectrum. The data collected indicated no discernible change in the chemical structures in an oxygen free environment. An accepted industry standard is 2,000 hours. This stability testing was begun to help us understand more clearly the processing and manufacturing requirements of our future commercial products, and provide initial assurances to expect the same results as we move these materials into an actual photonic device structures.
******Why wasn’t this enough info for potential partners to take a leap?******
In October 2015, we successfully surpassed 2000 hours of photochemical stability testing of our material candidates with little to no change in the electro-optic characteristics (R33) of our material; and, in January 2016, we successfully surpassed 4000 hours of photochemical stability testing of our material candidates with little to no change in the electro-optic characteristics (R33) of our material. These photochemical stability test results, along with the thermal stability at 110°C, should enable the Company to demonstrate that organic polymers can compete head-to-head with inorganic crystalline legacy telecom and datacom devices which currently provide the backbone for the entire infrastructure that converts almost incalculable amounts of electronic (binary) data into pulses of light and back on a daily basis.
******Why wasn’t this enough info for potential partners to take a leap?******
In November of 2015, we successfully fabricated ridge waveguide structures from our core material system. At the same time we successfully developed a proprietary methodology to segment individual chips from our silicon wafers that contain our ridge waveguide devices. These critical steps in our process provide us with a clear path towards a commercial telecommunication device. These same processes can be used for the fabrication of modulators to be used in data centers. The individual chips are now being analyzed and passively tested in our Longmont, CO optical test facility. We continue to move towards completion of an operating organic polymer-enabled ridge waveguide modulator prototype using our new multi-chromophore material systems.
*****Multi-Chromo—wait, no corning license fees?***** RWM is the new BWGM
In February 2016, we successfully guided laser single-mode light through 16 of our passive single-mode ridge waveguides made entirely out of our advanced organic polymer systems, which are the building block of waveguide modulators that achieve high modulator performance. As a result, our commercialization effort has entered the next phases of development: passive-waveguide loss measurements, followed by the development and active testing of electro-optic modulators. Utilizing continuous-wave input laser light, electro-optic modulators convert digital (binary) electrical data into output pulses of light that can be transported across fiber optical communication networks. Active testing is accomplished by applying an electrical signal to a modulator and evaluating the resulting output optical signal.
Presently, we are continuing to move towards completion of our operating organic polymer-enabled ridge waveguide modulator prototype using our new multi-chromophore material systems.

*****X LOGIC*****
fair enough, but lets start talking about real issues.
1. Where are we at?
........
Last year we were hoping to see a 100G TRANSCIEVER.
Today we a hoping for a 10G modulator? When does that move beyond
a 10G mod to a 25? When does it go from anything to be a commercially viable devie?
LOL.
Please tell me how current management does ANYTHING to progress this science?
What can they do in the lab or for that fact do in regards to partner negotions. These guys know nothing but are paid like they are industry experts. LOL Are you kidding me? Total BS. We were working on a 100G transciever last year and now we are working on a 10G modukator. Nuff said.
Sad state of affairs!
The market wants to explore lower, but overall doesnt mean shit! The market is always right!!!!
Where will it land?????
Reverse split????
GOT MOAR????
Just an example of why. Don't know or even care about the details anymore.
1st Rasie @ $1
1 share @ $1 with two warrant(whether 1/2 share or 1 whole share)at 1.00 and 1.25
2nd Raise
1 share at .75c with two warrants(whether 1/2 share or 1 whole share) at .75 & 1.00
3rd Raise
1 share at .60c with two warrants(whether 1/2 share or 1 whole share)at .60 & .75
Pretty straightforward to me. Am I missing something?
Seems like they are just averaging down? Good for them. Exploiting the situation.
totally agree. i will beg for your forgivness master!!! can you tell me about your other recent successes?
TXPO
AVMY
MNKD
NIOBF
have your ever met a managment team you didn't like?
Yes X please tell us more. You said we didn't need any packaging but the company doesn't even know. Buyout around the corner!!! Proto won't except less than a $1B. I'm holding out for $2B!!!!!! All delays are the result of OTHERS!!! You Belgium guys have any more stock tips???? You guys are all over this Sh##. Please give me the all clear to load up!!!!
TIA
Traveling, and will be back next Friday.
PROTO, THE VOICE WISPERER!!!
When I took the Chair last fall, I believed strongly that one of our goals should be to improve communications to both our shareholders and to the professional investment community. Other than significantly improving the website, the overall effort to improve our communications did not happen the way I envisioned it and we fell short of my goals. As a result, I am going to make this initiative a priority.
"If our shareholders and the professional investment community do not have regular, and understandable communications, the predictable response will be indifference and confusion."
Finally, a well balanced post from RF. I am not saying to vote one way or another but at LEAST see both sides. This blaming it on the brokers or 3rd party institutions is getting very old. We need something real and we need it NOW. Accountablility is the key. Why do we pay two co-CEOs instead of hiring people that could get the job done. Boggles my mind. Inversors is right 100%, they need to show us something.
BTW: Yes the reason the vote didn't pass last year is becuase enough people didn't vote. That is on TZ and no one else. Quit trying to place blame elsewhere.
I'm still holding out a little hpe here but these fairy tail pumpers are making it alot harder!! Do any of you read the K?
PATENTS ARE WORTH BILLIONS.
LOL
This is an advisory vote. He already got his raise and in fact got another one on Jan 1st of this year brinning his salary to 350K.
"The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) added Section 14A to Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules."
"The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the compensation committee (if we appoint a separately designated compensation committee in the future) or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors values the views of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when determining future compensation arrangements for our named executive officers."
i'll bite.
absolutely not. how does our ceo get huge raise year after year with no contracts and no deals. r&d might have grown 38% but his salary has grown well beyond that. btw, that r&d number is based off of the mickelson agreement, which appears to be no longer in force. so who are these new employees?
if tom can come though with deals in the short term then i eat crow. easy as that. but the time has come to prove himself.
no need for the TZ lovers to chime in!!! I got it and my post will be deleted shortly.
btw: Our CEO asked for now 150M extra shares. Not 100M!!!! Why should he deserve this unless he tells us his plans. OH, im sure its TOP SECRET!!!!!
Competitive advantage!!!!
"buying more every chance i get"
how old are you? grow a pair!
lol, gotta run!!!
Jeezzzz, I thought i heard you say that right before the ASM a few years ago....... Is your info coming from SC? LOL. Come on!! Penny stocks in the US are full of a bunch of BS these days. No reason to trust them. But hey we are looking to acquire a company? Nope we are doing 100g transceiver? Nope its a bleached waiveguide modulator? Nope its about the OPSIS chips? so whats the answer? do any of you know? dont tell me to relax and to ask because I have gotten different answers each time. Ive contacted the company and how long it might take to get legit results. Results? ????????
X,
Nobody here is freaking out for the wrong reasons. Its been 5-7 years in which we have gone through one of the greastest bull markets in the history of the world and here we sit at basically alltime lows.
Please provide facts or don't say anything at all. Senior Hochberg has nothing to do with this and junior is long gone. Don't distort the facts! I know, I know, you are still buying. LOL.
You have been looking for lower prices for years and years to pick up cheap shares. Very OLD, but Zelibor has been very accommodative to your cause!!!!
Its put up or shut up time for this company. Tom needs to step up and EARN his salary(including all of the raises) and deliver on what he has said in the past. No more false promises and/or excuses
for why things didn't happen. Just deliver.

wtf, that is crazy. we are paying this guy 350k a year and supposedly licensed 100g transceiver tech from him and this is what happens? wtf? who knows what this really means but it doesn't look good.
no matter what, shareholders don't deserve this kind of bs over and over again.
Rick,
Please provide your thoughts on this. Some of this sounds good and other not so much.

Thanks
good stuff. very informative.
Rick,
They use carrier plasma in silicon for modulation. This is not my "belief" as it comes directly from Professor Popovic.
btw guy and all of you fellow gold bugs. the bottom is in and will be a wicked reversal. buy jnug at 3 and 2.5 and 2 and see where it lands. Great risk vs reward.
sounds great rick but what does that have to do with us???
