So the order here is not exact but the accomplishments are a matter of fact. Lightwave took plastic and modified it to let light pass through it then block those photons when a bias is applied. And it works in both 1310 nm (Data com) and 1550 nm wavelengths (previous EO polymer versions were limited to Telecom). What that means it's that as the electrons are rolling out of the computer, they contain enough voltage to enable Lightwave's material to perform without the need of additional juice by that I mean an additional outside power booster (a driver). Then they took those polymers and modified them to tolerate Lasers hammering them and vast temperature swings, then they modified that plastic to be compatible with Silicon which is what the computer chip is made of and InP which is what the laser is produced on. Understand that Lightwave's magic will sit between the Silicon and InP, furthermore 80% of the space currently occupied by today's modulator's will be empty because it is 30 times smaller. Then they put the patents in place not only on the material, the processes also to make the material, the production methods, the methods of aligning the molecule, the PDK's for the foundries all the while showing the industry via roadmaps a few years back why they better switch because the cost and performance barriers would not work in the near future. The near future is now my friends. Then they had to run testing to satisfy the industry. Oh and they even put it in multiple foundries in multiple countries smart, most would probably have only tried to work with one.
Dang, Dudes, I'd bet that there is no one on this board that could explain how to even go about doing this.
The shorts have some longs shouting yeh what he said, I even saw one demanding that Lebby needed to update the roadmaps prepared the industry because they own shares of Lightwave. Yawn it is truly amazing just how far we have come from the garage in Newport with a few people, no clean rooms, no test equipment, no engineers, just a vision and a few that believed, some still think they know better, I know I don't and am still watching and learning. My gray matter is strained every time I talk with someone at the company like a weightlifter trying to lift a few more pounds than they are capable of lifting.
Yes, it has not been easy, but finally it is the beginning of commercialization. The shorts are running around the track trying to get back shares but the wall that they are facing is commercialization, for the life of me I do not see how they can cover before they run smack dab into the wall. (as info smack dab means squarely as in run squarely into a wall)
