Sorry for your likely losses for this week's calls (and SPY target 535 by Friday)
Wrong, he said putting the polymer down on silicon followed standard Foundry processes. spray, dry etching, wet etching, etc.
It was the poling process that had to resolve, and they did over a year ago w/ that one company acquisition (of patents). Solved the temperature issues too!
Reliability testing is NOT a challenge for them, it is a process requirement by the Bigga pending Mega Cap cloud company and/or transceiver manufacturer!
Process requirements just take TIME!
More babies crying. Here's a pack of tissues for you.
Dr. Lebby will deliver when it is time to deliver, but playing Monday quarterback and whining shows a lack of understanding the reality of what is being engineered and worked through at the highest level and largest Mega Cap companies.
This isn't like the old Carnation instant breakfast: A few scoops of the chocolate powder into a glass, add milk, stir and enjoy! 🤣
This is very serious and complex engineering from the Foundry production of PIC, poling, sealing, device packaging, etc.
Not just a few scoops, add milk, and stir. I'm looking forward to a Dry Martini, shaken not stirred.
CPI core and other #'s higher than est. SPY pre-market off around 0.9%; small caps off 2.2%
Core March up 0.4%; est. 0.3%
CPI year over year up 3.5%, est. 3.4%
Core CPI year over year up 3.8% est. 3.7%
It takes a lot of energy to run desalinization plants. And ones being planned in Cali have to deal with outflows of hyper or much more salient water back into the ocean deeper water areas, but there are a lot of ecological issues to consider. So that may be a partial solution for more human water needs versus massive industrial water needs. No magic bullet; I believe where they site these plants geographically (near abundant water resources) is the smartest solution in the near term.

Phoenix ranks No. 6 for data center construction in 2023
Aimless, for sure, but also this tremendous growth in Data Centers in the list of cities/areas (below link) in the US and even Canada is going to put major pressure on improved data transmission technology and lower energy needs! This is like a Power Ball winning formula for Lightwave Logic upon landing their first of many deals!! 🤑🚀
I did realize how much growth was happening versus existing or Total Inventory. It is eye-popping!

Seems like the water resources issue with even more massive subsidized chip plants in Arizona is going to result in a more acute water problem. And that doesn't include all the electricity needed to run these plants and cool the systems. I'm just surprised as this administration was talking about how green and good they are for the environment, Yet they're not putting these plants in areas that are more water available as well as electricity.🤔🙃
Maybe Carl can weigh in with his more local NM and AZ insights.
X, the robins are hoarding worms everywhere here in Maryland, dawn, daytime and dusk.
Some the shorts will be hoarding shares just like new Lightwave long shareholders. 🚀🛸
Volume completely dried up! Perfect set up before the news launch!
Hilarious! you are a Critical Complainer, and terrible speller!
You bleated:
Xena may be a bit ahead of the final deals getting signed, but there are just a few additional items to close out as stated in previous presentations by Dr. Lebby regarding some final reliability information, as well as readiness for the packaging and device production, imo.
If you are unhappy, sell, assuming you even own any shares. Better yet, short and join the pain trade in the weeks ahead! LOL
Absolutely Lewrock. I heard about this directly from a tour guide way back in 1988 when with friends on a trip to Mexico, and one of our stops was Oaxaca, Mexico and to the 7000+ ft elevation where the ancient ballcourt ruins were located. The guide spoke about some of these games resulting in sacrifices; then he said the winner was sacrificed (??) if I remember correctly. Found this interesting article below.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1203483109
Meanwhile, as the shorts continue to play in Dr. Lebby's Lightwave Logic court, there will come a time soon that they will become the sacrificial lamb (= Hog)! 💯🐽🐷 Rest in Misery! 🪦
Assuming the skies were very free of clouds, they probably became more fearful of the Sun God, and that it was angry at them for some reason is my best guess!
Good luck Lewrock. If the weather is good, hope you can find a lesser populated access to glimpse the beauty of a total solar eclipse! It is quite something! The birds in the area I was watching from suddenly took flight just seconds before the full eclipse. They probably thought Armageddon was coming! lol
Hoopie, Teramount looks like a very interesting company that could provide device packaging services for Lightwave Logic, yes?
Thanks for posting that news article on what they are doing with Global Foundaries.
No, but the USA has a full solar eclipse this Monday, April 8, 2024 from Southern Texas to Maine!
I witnessed the full solar eclipsed in 2017 in Columbia, SC. The sky went completely dark.....and the Corona was phenomenal w/ da little glasses on.
Let's see what happens on Monday! 😉 🚀 🌞🌔🌓🌒🌑

This collaboration from 3 years back with Polariton's plasmonic modulator used a 0.6 Vp low-voltage electrical drive below.
Proto, KCC and others -- a question on that one PR discussed in this Dr. Lebby interview Slim and you posted (just after minute 3). Dr. Lebby said the modulator operated as low as "a volt". I seemed to remember them presenting some information that was even below 0.5 volts in other presentations. Any idea if this is due more to Perk 3 being used, versus the newer on Perk 6 (in late stage development?)? thanks for any thoughts from your trove of information you collect and track over time!!
The PR (link below) said:
"In the presentation, Dr. Lebby discussed the company's latest world-class results based on a novel packaged heterogeneous polymer EO modulator design leveraging silicon photonics devices from a 200mm production foundry process and Lightwave Logic's proprietary high temperature, high performance EO Polymer material. Each modulator was operated at 100GBaud PAM4 and achieved all drive voltages below 2V, and as low as 1V which is excellent for low power operation. Dr. Lebby discussed the test set-up for the high-speed results, and how electro-optic polymer-based
modulators based on 200mm silicon foundry wafers are ideal for 4 channel 200Gbps per lane 800Gbps pluggable optical transceivers for datacenter applications. Dr. Lebby also shared updated lifetime and reliability data for both the electro-optic polymer materials and electro-optic polymer devices.

lol. was a perfect spot to buy 524 same day puts. Who won today? 🤩
Tepid to minimal volume. 22k in 21 min. Hilarious.
Once they buy, the price goes up....come on BoyZ, buy now or "pay bigly" after the PR to cover your shorties. hee hee. 🚀🛸💯
Absolutely X, and soon we will witness a Lightwave Logic Launch like never before! Many will be caught "off guard" or is it "off position" but that is ok, as they took the uninformed risk based on their "greed" as the Institutions happily handed over short shares for their buying! 😉
Please turn your speakers up to their loudest setting to see, feel and hear the sounds of what another admired innovator is accomplishing in the world of invention, risk taking, engineering, trial and errors, persistence, execution and eventually the first successful Launches of many Starships to Da Moon, Mars and beyond!
Dr. Lebby's Lightship is on deck, or should I say, on the Launch Pad ready for ignition in the weeks ahead. Get a seat on the ship (shares) or you will miss the long and beautiful ride to Ubiquity!🚀💯🛸😎
I believe you need to change your Depends though, as that ain't dry at all! 😉
X, this may also include EO modulators (or like) for transmitting data via lasers and radio waves, right? I believe Lightwave has hired someone with radio wave background, as well as lasers. More good to come!
So far you've provided 100% complaints and denials of what progress is being made prior to product Foundry production runs and reliability testing preceding Lightwave's first commercial-scale deals!
You are faint of heart, small of CoJones and DD; Dice is just going to call Dr. Lebby a nothingburger until the deals start flowing in.......
.....Then what are you going to do? Apologize for your 100% false portrayal of what was unfolding and clearly in progress?? And for some miracle, even
if you did, would you show remorse and exit stage left to never post your spam here again? Prolly not, just like Polly Wog, and others. They'll never learn.
Until then, go chill out and find something better to do than weave false narratives on Lightwave Logic Ihub board about their Leadership, Management, BOD and
future. You deserve a break today so go to McDonalds and have a Happy Meal all to yourself you big Klown! 🤡
Ok, now I understand it was the Christian Koos, the scientist, and also that he made some very poor business decisions potentially leading to their detriment.
I don't have a premium Ihub membership anymore, so I couldn't find that previous post I'm referring too (over 4 months ago). But basically you just said they had a few good scientists/engineers relating to EO modulators, nothing more than that. I shouldn't have said "buy the company", as it was just a few quality engineers that you noted. At this point, dead company, and on the "bad list". end of topic 😂
Wow, absolutely exciting summary of key takeaways from OFC KCC, especially Lightwave's!!! Cool beans, highly Caffeinated ones for sure!! 💯🚀🛸
KCC, I remember I while back when you were outlining the business management expertise Silorix lacked, and I may have posted, after you said they had a few excellent devise engineers or something like that, and I said it sounds like Lightwave could just buy them out at some point, or acquire their devise engineers to benefit Lightwave.
We'll see. Either way, they aren't worth our distraction at the point! Onward and upward Lightwave Logic!
Very interesting comment by Atikem Hailemariam, but also helps us understand the types of testing/design - Foundries - packing and then Line Card assembly that happens for some products as Jabil slide shows. Process goes back and forth across various parts of two continents four times before finished product. Onshoring will be very helpful indeed to speeding up the process.
I'll be visiting a good friend of mine in Europe end of this month, who works for Infineon and travels often to Indonesia to deal with the operations supply chain process at their plants. He was not so familiar with polymers, but I'll share some developments that are going on in Colorado with Lightwave, and see if he is familiar with the Infineon photonics area of business. Always best to cover these topics in person.
OT: Physicist Herbert Kroemer, 95, developed laser technology that helps humankind stay connected
(Wash Post Obituaries)
Herbert Kroemer, Nobel winner who developed laser tech, dies at 95
The German-born physicist developed a new kind of semiconductor that became crucial to the development of cellphones, CD players, fiber-optic networks and other touchstones of the Information Age

Herbert Kroemer, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who spearheaded the development of a new kind of semiconductor, leading to Information Age advances at the heart of everything from bar-code scanners, CD players and cellphones to satellite communications and fiber-optic networks, died March 8 at 95.
His death was announced by the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he had been on the faculty for nearly 50 years. A statement from the school’s chancellor, Henry T. Yang, did not say where or how he died but credited Dr. Kroemer with “transforming UC Santa Barbara into a leader in engineering and materials science.”
A German-born researcher with a thick white beard and heavy skepticism of scientific authority, Dr. Kroemer was awarded a share of the Nobel Prize in physics in 2000 for developing semiconductor heterostructures, layered devices that proved foundational to advanced lasers and high-speed transistors.
He shared his half of the prize with the Russian physicist Zhores Alferov, who worked independently but in parallel to develop the devices; the other half went to Jack Kilby, a researcher at Texas Instruments who played a central role in the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip.
Together, their work “laid a stable foundation for modern information technology,” the Nobel committee said.
Dr. Kroemer launched his scientific career at research labs in West Germany and the United States in the mid-1950s, shortly after the creation of the transistor. The device helped usher in the development of modern electronics, replacing the vacuum tube as an electronic switch and amplifier. Although it was typically built from a single material, usually silicon, Dr. Kroemer proposed creating a faster transistor using a kind of sandwich, or heterostructure, comprising different materials.
In 1963, he applied his heterostructure research to lasers, which had been invented just three years earlier but could work only at low temperatures and for short pulses. Dr. Kroemer developed a way to circumvent those issues, coming up with the basic principle of a device known as the double heterostructure laser, the foundation of the first commercial semiconductor laser.
The devices “are used worldwide in fiber optic networks and enabled the internet, transforming the world,” his colleague John Bowers, director of UC Santa Barbara’s Institute for Energy Efficiency, said in a tribute.
“It was a question of making something possible that without heterostructures simply couldn’t have been done at all,” Dr. Kroemer told the New York Times after winning the Nobel. Without the structures, he added, “there would be no CD players and no CDs,” along with no LED lights and countless other electronic devices.
Dr. Kroemer started out as a theoretical physicist — his first employer, a telecom lab run by the German postal service, insisted that he stay away from research equipment for fear that he would break something — and said that when he developed the idea of the heterostructure laser, he was interested only in the fundamental science behind the concept.
“I really didn’t give a damn about what the uses were,” he told IEEE Spectrum, the flagship magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
But his bosses at Varian Associates, a Silicon Valley research firm, refused to grant him resources to develop the technology, “on the grounds that ‘this device could not possibly have any practical applications,’ ” he recalled in his Nobel lecture. Other researchers, including Alferov, went on to build and refine the first heterostructure lasers.
“It was really a classical case of judging a fundamentally new technology, not by what new applications it might create, but merely by what it might do for already existing applications,” Dr. Kroemer said in his lecture, calling for institutions to focus less on the question of what cutting-edge science might be “good for.”
“The problem is pervasive, as old as technology itself,” he added, noting that the double heterostructure laser “was simply another example in a long chain of similar examples. Nor will it be the last.”

The oldest of three sons, Herbert Kroemer was born in Weimar, Germany, on Aug. 25, 1928. His father was a civil servant, his mother a homemaker. Neither had a high school education, nor did they have much of an interest in science. Still, they sought to encourage Dr. Kroemer’s natural affinity for math, physics and chemistry, including by buying a roughly 20-volume encyclopedia for him.
Looking for additional reading material as a teenager during World War II, Dr. Kroemer went to the library twice a week, making his way through the science section and becoming fascinated by “the realization that from a small set of very fundamental laws one could draw very, very far-reaching conclusions,” as he put it in an oral history.
After graduating from high school in 1947, he enrolled at the University of Jena, where he studied under the physicist Friedrich Hund during the city’s postwar Soviet occupation. As the social climate became increasingly repressive, lecture attendance dwindled; some of his more liberal classmates vanished without explanation.
“You never knew whether they had fled to the West, or had ended up in the German branch of Stalin’s Gulag,” he recalled in an autobiographical essay.
While working for the Siemens company in Berlin during the summer of 1948, Dr. Kroemer decided to resettle in West Germany, getting a seat aboard a return flight of the Berlin airlift. He enrolled at the University of Göttingen and received a PhD in physics in 1952, writing his dissertation on “hot electron” effects in transistors.
Dr. Kroemer conducted some of his early heterostructure research at RCA Laboratories in Princeton, N.J., and settled in California in 1959, joining Varian Associates in Palo Alto. He moved there with his wife, Marie Louise, and their young children, including a 2-year-old daughter, Sabine, who drowned in a pool shortly after they arrived, according to a report in the local Peninsula Times Tribune.
His wife died in 2016. Information on survivors was not immediately available, but they had five children, according to IEEE Spectrum.
Dr. Kroemer joined the faculty at the University of Colorado in 1968 and moved to UC Santa Barbara in 1976, eventually holding joint appointments in the electrical and computer engineering department and the materials department. He received one of Germany’s highest governmental honors, the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit, in 2001, and was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor the next year.

After receiving the Nobel Prize, Dr. Kroemer gained a burst of attention, which he largely tried to ignore. “You get a lot of invitations where you know darn well you’re being invited for decoration. Those I mostly turn down,” he told a UC Santa Barbara interviewer. “But there is one kind of invitations where I feel I can give back to society — invitations talking to students,” whom he spoke with at elementary and high schools.
“Society has been good to me,” he said, “and that’s one way I can return that.”

Yeah for Programmable Photonics. Next on Deck, scalable Lightwave Logic modulators.
Amen. Jose already said a few years ago Lightwave "was Gold". I agree 💯%
Another Elite 8 women's game tied at half tonight! Great competition and competitors!
Here we go, someone sent in the Klowns again! Saying Lebby should yell from the rooftops. How immature and disconnected you are from professional reality, it is really hard to believe.
Is that the game plan you Klowns came up with in your earlier special meeting this morning?
Very weak, lame, false and plain wrong. You boys are extremely fragile. Too funny! 😂
Getting ready for Lightwave Lift Off. Lightwave to Mars, then Pluto..and than galaxies beyond. .......before Pluto we'll drop a capsule containing Rear_End and his Klown associates embedded into the UrAnus crust (or is that the crusties? lol) 😝 with a small marking that will pop up to show our disrespect of all your lies. 😂🚀🛸
Huh, have your options expired yet Red?
I'm OK, are you OK?
Sounds like you were not happy with the lack of response to your posts. Don't take it personally, and keep reposting as if someone missed something. I trust those following here can make their own decisions.
