X-cellent short history of LWLG complete with all the Luminaries that helped F Goetz's dream project come to a successful conclusion, nothing less than the Nobel Prize is deserved for this achievement!

Folk's, LWLG has had the absolute Top of the Photonics Pyramid directing its development, these guys were the Top Dogs from the behemoth companies and agencies including Dupont, Corning, JDSU, Intel, NSA, etc

The science is way beyond the tipping point now, the finalization of the 25Gbs proto is down to its cheap packaging and final optimization before going out for customer evaluations in late 2017

A device that is tons the best on price/performance metrics, and can scale to Industry needs, it is clearly a slam dunk at this point! Watch for the device(s) to begin to dominate the space in 2018 and beyond!

Remember, Dr Lebby's "purple brick wall" has to be taken down for the Industry in the next few years, Dr Lebby has been vetting the potentials of all the possible technologies to accomplish this & Lightwave Logic (LWLG) was the best solution, Dr Lebby has now taken the CEO role here at LWLG, he is truly the "axe" of the Industry, this is a well known fact!

Dr. Michael Lebby: Chief Executive Officer
Presently, Michael (www.linkedin.com/in/lebby) is driving new frontiers in the integrated photonics field as: CEO and Board Director, Lightwave Logic Inc (LWLG:OTCQB). Michael is also part-time full Professor and Chair of optoelectronics at Glyndwr University in Wales, UK where he contributes to the European Commission’s programs and pilot lines in integrated photonics. Michael has been involved in photonics for his whole career which began with research for the UK Government R&D labs in 1977, and continued at AT&T Bell Labs in 1984. At that time, Michael’s activities included researching novel optoelectronic devices in III-V compound semiconductors. Michael then went to Motorola’s Corporate R&D labs in 1989 and drove the VCSEL based technology platform to product and high volume manufacturing. He continued his fiber optics roles at AMP/TE Connectivity, and then helped initiate Intel’s silicon photonics work in 1999. In 2001, he founded his own company Ignis Optics to develop OC-48/192 transceivers and subsequently sold the company to Bookham (now Oclaro). Michael then led OIDA (Optoelectronics Industry Development Association) in Washington DC to campaign on behalf of the photonics industry. At OIDA Michael coined the term ‘green photonics’ and established this as discipline in the industry. Michael also spoke on Capitol Hill representing the optoelectronics industry. Since 2010, Michael has been focusing on bringing PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) based technologies to market in various roles that include Solar, LED lighting, and Integrated Photonics for fiber communications. Michael is pursuing high speed polymer based integrated photonics as part of a polymer PIC platform at Lightwave Logic Inc.

With over 450 issued international patents (derived from over 200 issued USPTO patents) in the photonics field over the past 30 years, Michael has been cited by the USPTO to be in the most prolific 75 inventors in the country from 1988-1997. Michael is a Fellow member of IEEE and OSA, and has dedicated his career to moving photonics into mainstream opportunities. Michael has given numerous invited and keynote talks, speeches, panel discussions, and interviews. The subjects have ranged from the IC semiconductor industry to optoelectronics to modern trends of green photonics, both nationally and internationally over the past two decades. Michael is an experienced expert witness and has participated in 30 intellectual property cases as a photonics expert over the last decade. Michael has 2 doctorates and a MBA from the University of Bradford in the UK and is a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng).
