Hey Wise,

Which material is LWLG advancing today?

That's really not so clear and I'm not sure if they will ever tell us since they have trademarked some and patented others.

My comment about the "lipstick on a pig of a core molecule" was not directed towards LWLG's research an I apologize for digressing. The comment had more to do with how to approach and manage diversity when searching for a certain molecular type.

how does the Ridge-Wave-Guide modulator differentiate itself from the others sought in the past and put on hold and/or canned?

Ridge-Wave Guide Modulator (RWG) is for Telecom. To me, this means it can be larger than the Slot-Wave Guide Modulator (SWG). In contrast, the SWG would be needed in the datacenter (Datacom) at every junction between fiber and copper so the size (form factor) needs to be as small as possible so they can fit as many as possible on a server.

The BWG modulator seemed to be a just a tool to demonstrate the activity (R33) of the material. It was confusing that the one PR seemed to indicate it would be pursued for revenue.

collective marketplace that could only find 5,394 shares worthwhile to purchase

I'm not sure how to explain LWLG's valuation being so far out of whack but based on other surprises in the market which happen every day, I can accept that sometimes shareprice is not a good reflection of what is coming.

And, absolutely, many thanks to all who have served to keep us safe and free.

Wise,

I am most assuredly no material guy. I apologize to anyone I gave any impression I am.

My thesis is quite simple and backed by some specialized experience. Revolutionary change such as that which photonic computing would introduce is far more than adaptation to "disruptive" technology, in the current idiom. It requires vast changes in societal structure to accommodate.

I once loved the tales COBOL programmers told of trying to explain to bankers what needed to be changed. As a FOTRAN programmer for scientific and technical objectives, I didn't love at all trying to figure out how to connect to the business -oriented modules for whom English majors were preferred as programmers over mathematicians.

Both programmers have become obsoleted by enormous advancements in hardware but there is an odd thing yet.

When computers used vacuum tubes instead of transistors and a massive computer would fill a large room by itself requiring teams of operators, programmers, engineers, bulb changers, whatever to do far less than any $5 calculator does today; that monstrosity did pattern recognition with fair success while today's supercomputers can't do much better.

That is history, the rest is only my wild, blue-sky speculation.

I suspect Terry Turpin's small, costly optical computers are doing something DOD is quite willing to spend a bundle on and a natural for such a computer: analog computing that can deal with pattern recognition far more easily than digital computation.

That would explain the constantly renewed search for new and better plastic and Turpin being disappeared.

Speaking more plainly, we've been in Kansas all along and just didn't recognize it, being so flat and all.

Best, Terry
