I predict you will be disillusioned with any press release that comes from lightwave logic at this juncture.
I on the other hand I will see significance with each deal signed. Each shipment of PERK is a step towards production then mass production.
PDK’s are a non issue until you deal with the phrase “extremely high yields in > 1000 poles devices".
You can interpret information from what the company puts out anyway you want until you deal with this phrase.
I have comfort and confidence in looking at two different slide presentations on the PDK's where older presentations show "in process" for all 7 foundries then later the slide presentation in Dec 2022 shows only 5 foundries "in process" with 2 foundries no longer displaying "in process" meaning simply that the process is over with in developing a workable PDK. No other way to read that. One in the USA and one in Europe and latest presentations show > 2 foundries.
