"Intel had a photonic research group long before Lightwave existed, hell even when I worked for them. Lebby even worked for them for a time"

Ah yes, the olden days...

Koog, if I understand your prediction correctly, you believe that Google, Facebook, Zoom, Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, Amazon, Netflix, and many other streaming platforms will be perfectly content to wait five to ten years to collectively save billions in power consumption and modulator package design. Speed, who wants speed and bandwidth?

These major companies only want to do business with an equally prestigious company like Intel and don’t want to risk dealing with an innovative entrepreneurial small company like Lightwave Logic. Someday Intel will decide it is time to adopt photonics and will be able to create a new technology that does infringe on any of Lightwave’s patents.

Finally, it appears you believe that Dr. Lebby, Fred Leonberger, Joe Miller, and all of the others on the BOD and Advisory Board are clueless about where the market is heading.

I must say I admire you for your courage to go against some of the most accomplished technologists on the planet.

Why Intel would think 20 years ago that polymers had promise, but not now,, you say because it is too soon, just does not make sense.

Remember that Lebby RECENTLY studied the entire industry, Turned down a few offers, then joined Lightwave and threw down patents like a wild man to lock down the Polymers to a level that he now sees as freedom to manufacture with anyone. So Lightwave can work with the foundries by supplying the Perkinamine to them, they apply it and anyone that wants a modulator on their chip can order one that is 3 times the speed and uses 1/2 the power.

Honestly though I think Intel KNOWS they are going to lose their hold on the industry. NOW they are sponsoring a bunch of universities to try and catch up, sounds like they lost their way, realized that what they have on the shelf in the lab is yesterday's technology. Why Else? Why Else? Why Else.

I do think Intel will be involved in this one way or another though. But I agree not yet.

December, 2021 - Koog. "Photonics may be important in the future but that future is too far out to be betting on it now,"

March 2022, Global Foundries Announces Next Generation in Silicon Photonics Solutions and Collaborates with Industry Leaders (CISCO, Broadcom, NVIDIA) to Advance a New Era of More in the Data Center (https://gf.com/globalfoundries-announces-next-generation-silicon-photonics-solutions-and/)

Totally, demonstrably wrong but still speaking as if you're well-versed on the subject. Quite a combination.
