Lightwave Logic Inc (LWLG) News

Jeunke, yes I read and heard about that. If LWLG polymers was mentioned I would have been buying shares with all my cash.

Mark L is getting paid to promote tfln? Proto is getting paid to promote lwlg? Who knows how many others? The only thing I know is I'm not getting paid to hold this train wreck year after year. Get something commercialized!

WRONG!! the real question is how marky boy comes up with TFLN as his choice to win as the next-gen material when it pretty much sucks in comparison the LWLG materials!! here YOU MUST HAVE MISSED IT because I already asked teddybear to talk to his bff about it

Ha!!! Too funny!!! here teddybear are the FACTS, why don't you get your bff marky boy to answer to the following,

First of all, please tell me if marky boy is being paid to promote TFLN, sure seems like it to me!!!

I only ask this question because TFLN pales by comparison to LWLG Polymers in EVERY competitive aspect, FYI here are the FACTS

1) TFLN is MUCH larger (8 TFLN fit in the space LWLG fits 120 or more)
2) TFLN requires more Voltage and thus CANNOT eliminate the power hungry & expensive Driver chip like LWLG's Polymers
3) TFLN has much high Optical Losses (extremely important in limiting DSP needs)
4) TFLN is not nearly as compatible in Standard Silicon Foundries (if at all!!)
5) and then there was this comment coming back on TFLN from a Silicon Foundry reported by Michael Lebby in the 2023 ASM presentation was this "At our foundry we are worried about the investment into TFLN: it may only be for one generation"

So the FACTS are that LWLG Polymers are clearly the TONS THE BEST solution HANDS DOWN for the Industry today!!!

oh, and btw, many here believe this was the kerrisdale poster that that came on to this message board after the FALSE & MISLEADING report that YOU continued to quote a thousand times even after it was REBUKED SUMMARILY in an SEC FILING!!!!

Th, why do you think TSMC just announced they would get into silicon photonics from 2026 onwards?

After years of globalization US is only No. 1 in chip design. On manufacturing of chips US is not even on No. 2 spot. The chips Act is trying to establish more chips manufacturing capacity in America.

But Intel and TSMC all run into difficulties to open the new facilities, postponing to 2017/2018 now.

Once a country can produce 7 or 5 nm chips most likely would have no problems in design of 3 nm chips. Manufacturing of it requires appropriate machinery.

When the stakes are so high, one way or another, you'll find lots of people with agendas. You and Mark L. are likely to not support the same polymer that most of us here do believe will win in the end. Fine. I wonder though whether the peoples that are "shorting your agenda" are also so noisy on the site where your polymer is being discussed. Is anybody here shorting Paul's Polymer?😂

So lebby had no clue that negotations with a big ass company takes much longer compared to a small tiny company. Lmao Mr. Naive 🤣

You can watch.

Is the optica event available to watch or do you have to be a member?

No one cares who is buying at what price. Where is that knucklehead Khalid who get telling everyone to hold the line. Rumor has it he deserted his post and is now being held in a Siberian prison.

Obviously, you do... LOL

who cares

Can’t give you a precise indication. What I see is that the environmental requirements which we see are requiring tremendous changes in the way the big internet companies operate. The competitive situation in the industry is nearing boiling point. Friend and foe are looking for solutions even outside the old boxes,

Radical solutions are necessary. Lightwave’s timing has not changed. When Lebby was asked if the PR 4 december was a mistake? He said:
No, no mistake. In hindsight it would have been better to have communicated that Tier 1’s take more time to decide. It’s a bottom-up and a top down process. It’s a strategic decision and it needs executional effort.
Personally, my interpretation? The announced deals in December are still in the works to be concluded.

When I first invested in LWLG you were speaking out of the other side of your mouth. Beware of opportunists that change their stripes.

Jeunke,

Congats on the new shares. Wish I had more ammo to buy, but out of $$$. Do you think we could hear some good news before the shareholders meeting? Also in your HUMBLE OPINION are we months away from a Contract or partnership, or could it take the rest of the year 2024?

Just bought a nice bunch of shares at fire sale prices.

Apparently not everyone has patience!

Let's get this straight:

( all as per your own words)

You are a very emotional type of "investor", you are only into stocks since a few years, you were long originally, ( decided to buy only after "watching some presentations and reading this forum") then you got impatient and emotional, sold and went short....although you (again as per your own words) "didn't know much about shorting or any other tricks of the trade"

Now you are making claims about Mark L and Dr. Lebby...only trying to influence other people, worthless claims, nothing to do with reality.....

You are a typical short, stupid and/or dishonest and probably both.....

Prov, hope so, but Gallium Nitride is for quantum chips over there.

They are installing "Smart Meters" on homes and I suspect it will give the electric utilities a way to throttle down household usage during high demand. Electric utilities are also offering free "Smart Thermostats" to consumers that definitely give the electric utilities to remotely adjust your electric heating and cooling. I don't live in CA, but I know that last year, they were encouraging people to reduce the use of their AC and discouraging them from charging their electric cars during peak demand. Updating our grid needs to be a top priority, but wind and solar power won't satisfy our growing energy needs. Natural gas isn't going away and we need more nukes.....

Chinese claim gallium arsenide is their photonic solution…
But, it seems obvious going forward, the U.S. will need a solution whose raw materials can be locally sourced (not embargoed in our fruitless war of sanctions) easily integrated into the CMOS process, and malleable enough to be applied to multiple future applications.

TH,

If you look at the spider charts that LWLG has posted, Perkinamine is far and way superior to all these other materials.

Maybe I misinterpreted, but I did not read his comments as “belittling” Lebby. To the contrary, he seemed to me to have been very complimentary of Lebby; but felt, in his opinion, that TFLN would rule the day. Definitely not disparaging.

We are. Somewhere, in a far tiny corner we the solution that is worth 40k so far and solved with by the likes of polariton.

The corner os far away and very small now. But soon it will be bigger and better.

Hope Gallium Nitride made chips would come late, not before LWLG polymers get adopted.

Another one: microwave photonic chips based on lithium niobate crystal.

Not basher or pumper, just try to watch out for my investments here.

Let's get this straight .. mark L ... Respected and well known in the industry.. belittles lebby and puts him in his box with rest of his carrots! And the longs on here start questioning mark L and his credentials???? I can guarantee if mark L had give lebby some positive shout outs then the whole of this board would have been saying how mark L is amazing and well respected in the industry.... Oh .... Looks like the market is running with mark L today though They ain't mugs !!!!

It seems that a good way to talk about the impact our technology would enable would be to make common the metric of “bits per kilowatt hour” as an easily digestible way for the layperson to understand the transformational nature of photonics (specifically EOP).
I’m no mathematician but a 3x improvement in speed, combined with a 90% reduction in power would read like 27x more bits per KW hour.
Good marketing language for Tier 1’s, and the average retail investor.

How about a large investment from a big company to bring this to completion?

Qualcomm invested heavily and publicly in Himax’s 3D optical engine 7 years ago.

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2017/08/qualcomm-and-himax-technologies-jointly-announce-high-resolution-3d-depth

I just hope we are part of the solution somewhere !! This dead money thing is old

I believe in certain states in the US they will be restricting the electrical usage of citizens long before they throttle down the datacenter electricity consumption.

tkg I believe a 25% data consumption usage is absolutely unattainable as restrictions on data center upgrades would ensue. Our power grid system could not handle that and there would be regulatory pushbacks.

The U.S. power grid is not in good shape. Most of the U.S. power grid system was built in the 1960s and 1970s and currently 70 percent of transmission lines are over 25 years old, getting close to needing replacement. The system is approaching the end of its typical 50–80-year lifecycle. It takes anywhere from 5-15 years to plan, get approval for permits and build out new, more power infrastructure. This process would get speeded up if doing so became more of an urgency but considering the age of our power transmission system, it couldn't happen by 2030.

What this means is that data centers MUST solve a big portion of the power consumption problem and get on the ball sooner than later. Using LWLG technology and Linear-drive Pluggable Optics are both being looked at as options to lower power consumption. For data centers, lowering power is important but functionality will also drive the the choices and we have to wait to see how each technology gets developed.

Thought so; I have a position in OLED and my guy has a target of $210 on it. I've owned LWLG since 2015, my largest position by far. Recent presentations give me a nice security blanket that we own a big winner with LWLG.

yes, because they are in passive organic polymers for displays ( TV, Iphones,computer screen etc) and Lebby often has referenced their business model as being what Lightwave had in mind. Interesting comparison for several reasons. One, the OLED market is dominated by two Tier 1 companies : Samsung and LG, and 2. TV screen saw only a few technical breakthroughs in almost 90 years: Cathode Ray Tubes, Plasma TV, LED , OLED. Organic Polymers.
The Internet saw none yet and in my opinion will opt for organic polymers as well and maybe dominated by a handful of very big companies.

Yes

When you refer to OLED, are you saying Universal Display?

Every analyst that covers OLED should cover LWLG. (I'm an old PANL guy)

Very patient, been a shareholder for a while. Just funny no one like Proto isn’t working overtime sending Lebby’s decks to real tech heggies that might take an interest instead of positing the same crap day after day.

Proto, that’s your new project, keep us posted, start with Coatue !!!!!

Just be patient dear, the result will be amazing!

Why don’t you send the slide deck to tech hedge funds, tech investment folks that are looking for massive returns for their shareholders (all accredited investors) like Coatue in NYC, so many others.

www.coatue.com

Seems like they should be on the LWLG bandwagon !

Than we only can hope that the buy-side research analyst visitied lwlg. Hopefully, they will come with a buy reconmendation soon to bring reversal to the down trend lwlg is in.

Hope you guys noticed that the LWLG investor slide deck mentioned 'research analysts' visiting the OFC live demonstrations. In Belgium Michael Lebby told us that these analysts have been following Lightwave seriously since last year's OFC. Analyst attendance kind of neutralizes the argument, often mentionned here, Wall Street would not be seriously interested and would not do any research. To the contrary Wallstreet is interested and is seriously following Lighwave Logic already for quite some time.

Jose Pozo needs to add Michael to the LPO event after that callout from Mark L.

LWLG beats ALL Next-Gen Competitors hands down!!! Let's compare,

Understanding Figure of Merit (FOM) the BEST place to be on the chart shown on Slide 47 is the TOP and RIGHT of the chart, and notice this is EXACTLY where LWLG is shown as compared to the competing Next-Gen challengers!!!

https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/23d26d3e-c498-431f-ba5c-2250e5f374cb/9bec8dfc-0108-5227-4f5b-d31f67ae623a?origin=2

LWLG tops ALL competition in FOM scores by far!!!!

Let's discuss the Competition >> from the ASM video starting at about 21:06 investors learn that amazingly there is no REAL competition to LWLG's technology for transmitting data!!! The first slide on competition shown is #25 and it has columns for each of the competitive products and then down the page a list of attributes along with the comparable Ratings for each of them, LWLG's Polymers are by far and away TONS THE BEST versus ALL the competitors!!

Let's review each of the attributes and see why LWLG's technology is SO SUPERIOR to any/all of them

1) SPEED >> LWLG is TONS THE BEST with speeds over 100GHz with HEADROOM to go MUCH FASTER!!!!! The rest of the competitors MAX OUT in the 30GHz - 70GHz range!!!

2) SIZE >> LWLG's slot modulator is the smallest, InP comes closest, but LNb, TFLN, and BTO are all MUCH BIGGER, in fact in another slide Lebby compares LWLG's slot modulator array to TFLN and in the space where 8 TFLN modulators sit, there could be 15 times as many LWLG slot modulators (120 modualtors!!)

3) POWER (Voltage) >> Only LWLG's technology is at sub 1 volt, SiP up to 5 volts, InP up to 7 volts, LNb up to 40 volts, TFLN up to 5 volts, BTO up to 3 volts

4) OPTICAL LOSS >> again LWLG slot is BEST with 3-8Db, SiP up to 20Db, InP up to 10Db, LNb up to 12Db, TFLN up to 15Db, BTO up to 12Db

5) ENERGY CONSUMPTION >> LWLG is BEST again with just 5pj/bit!!! SiP up to 20pj/bit, InP up to 40pj/bit, LNb up to 100pj/bit, TFLN up to 20pj/bit, BTO up to 20pj/bit

6) STABILITY >> again LWLG is the BEST, while SiP and InP are also very Stabile, the newcomers BTO and TFLN are NOT stabile enough for commercial acceptance!!

7) FOUNDRY COMPATABILITY >> Only LWLG and SiP use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication", InP, LNb, TFLN and BTO are NOT able to use "Standard SiP PDK Fabrication" they all require their own Foundries

8) REQUIRES DRIVER (Expensive & Power Hungry!!!!) >> Only LWLG at sub 1 volt can ELIMINATE THE DRIVER!!!!! This is HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!!

Lebby also illustrates all of this at 25:18 marker with Slide #29 where the BEST technology would be found as HIGH UP and as FAR TO THE RIGHT as can be, notice ONLY one technology is placed there and it is of course LWLG in the light green shaded rectangle!!!



Folks, see it for yourselves starting at 21:06, LWLG is the hands down WINNER of the TRUE NEXT-GEN competition!!! NOTHING else is even close!!!!

Staggering figure....25% by 2030!

With this surging demand for AI chatbots and AI training, Arm CMO Ami Badani predicted that data centers could account for 25% of US electricity consumption by 2030.$ARM $NVDA $AVGO $MSFT $AMD $AMZN $GOOG https://t.co/qSSNdFN6JF— Beth Kindig (@Beth_Kindig) April 28, 2024

It seems like you could use some encouragement/ support while you're searching. In addition to the focus of language interpretations, there are also framing techniques which are sometimes difficult to see through and these influence the 'provision of information' and desperate needs lead to desperate deeds.
Relatively speaking, due to our unstoppable data hunger, much more information will flow in and out of the data centers and for the reliability of the ecosystem: eyes must be open!

This is the way.

I do not think that Mark Lutkowitz Linked-In post would have made it through a peer review process either LOL

Yes that is correct.

The leading edge to my knowledge is Huawei bonding 6 inch TFLN wafers to 8 inch silicon wafers and they believe the same process can be applied to future 8 inch TFLN wafers.

Lightium claims to be using 200mm but they’re a brand new company with only a few people so who knows what is actually going on.

For some reason Huawei’s upcoming paper on the topic at CLEO has been withdrawn. So I wonder if it didn’t make it through the peer review process.

Right on Lew. All good brother.

Lightwave Logic was instrumental in two chapters of the IPSR-I, serving as co-chair of the "Transceivers" chapter and chair of the "Polymers" chapter. The company also contributed to the "Interconnects" chapter.

This is HUGELY important!!! Why would Lebby being CHAIR of the TRANSCEIVERS section of the Roadmap, for the last handful of years Lebby was only writing the Polymers section!!! It is OBVIOUS that Lebby is now CHAIR of the Transceivers section because LWLG is going to become the UBIQUITOUS heart of Next-Gen internet transmissions!!!

from the IPSR, “TECHNOLOGY FORECAST OF ELECTRO-OPTIC POLYMERS
In the field of active electro-optic polymers, there has been significant technological and commercial progress. There are now commercial companies that are supplying active electro-optic polymer material as well as commercial companies supplying silicon slot and plasmonic slot modulator devices, and devices embedded into photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platforms.”

Yes, indeed investors are learning that LWLG and Lebby are now involved with more than just the Polymer Modulators they can now mass produce their 4x200 devices on 200mm Wafers in several large Foundries!!!

Lightwave Logic Demonstrates Thought Leadership with Critical Contributions to Global Integrated Photonics Industry Roadmap

8:31 am ET April 16, 2024 (PR Newswire)

Integrated Photonics System Roadmap Defines and Creates Future PIC Technology and Systems Requirements for Industry that Span out to 2040

Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, substantially contributed to the recently published "Integrated Photonics System Roadmap - International" (IPSR-I) to accelerate the high-volume commercial manufacturing of high-value integrated photonics over the next decade and beyond.

Led by foundation PhotonDelta and the Microphotonics Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the IPSR-I is based on the highly influential semiconductor industry roadmap that outlined research priorities and has enabled the semiconductor industry to navigate Moore's Law for integrated photonics. These non-competitive industry roadmaps also serve stakeholders, investors and research analysts as a resource for industry trends, research, and commercial opportunities.

More than 400 technology, academic and industrial organizations from around the world contributed to IPSR-I. The IPSR-I describes a route toward building a global, aligned integrated photonics industry with the ability to help solve major societal challenges. It includes a comprehensive overview of major technology gaps for volume manufacturing of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and a detailed analysis of the challenges that the integrated photonics industry needs to overcome to achieve its potential.

Lightwave Logic was instrumental in two chapters of the IPSR-I, serving as co-chair of the "Transceivers" chapter and chair of the "Polymers" chapter. The company also contributed to the "Interconnects" chapter. 'Transceivers' are a critical commercial pluggable optical engine, for example in hyperscaler datacenters, telelcom networks, and high-performance computing. 'Interconnects' focuses on optical fiber links that connect pluggable optical transceivers together for routers, switches, computational systems etc. 'Polymers' focuses on active electro-optic polymers for optical modulators as well as passive polymers that guide and manipulate light in fiber optic communications markets.

"We were privileged to be invited to contribute to the updated IPSR-I to establish and sustain a trust based global network of industrial and R&D partners, working together to create PIC technology and systems requirements," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "These requirements comprise the commercial factors that will compose and grow the accelerating photonics industry going forward for all companies, with our focus on our Perkinamine(R) Electro-Optic polymers. The integrated photonics roadmaps both plan and anticipate commercial opportunities as well as potential roadblocks and/or critical needs on the way to scaling the manufacturing of integrated photonics through 2040. The silicon semiconductor industry has relied on these types of roadmaps for the past 50 years and with IPSR-I, the photonics industry is becoming organized and more influential as well."

"With our first commercial material supply and license agreement for our electro-optic polymer materials and ongoing efforts to build on this commercialization momentum, we continue to believe Lightwave Logic will become a stronger technological and commercial leader in the photonics industry," concluded Lebby.
