ENGLEWOOD, CO, Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) announced today that it sent an Open Letter to its Shareholders.
Open Letter to Lightwave Logic, Inc. Shareholders
Fellow Shareholders,
I would like to take the opportunity to bring all of you up to-date with the incredible progress we have been making this year. With so much going on, I have decided to begin to provide quarterly shareholder letters. You can expect to receive the next letter in January 2019.
In this quarter we have received terrific feedback from prospective customers, the team is energized and motivated by our continued progress. In all ways, we are encouraged by the validation of our belief that we are positioning ourselves ahead of our competitors.
Let me bring your attention to this last statement: positioning ahead of our competitors. Recall that 2 years ago we were aiming for a 3 Gbps polymer modulator. We have successfully caught up with the competition since then. In my personal experience in this highly technical and complex field, this is an almost unheard-of short period of time. Since then we have progressed very quickly from 10Gbps operating modulators in early 2017, to 25Gbps operating modulators in mid-2017, to 50Gbps operating modulators by late 2017, to packaged 50Gbps modulators in May 2018. Per the presentation at the ASM, we are continuing our development of the 50Gbaud (capable of 50 Gbps and above, see [1]) packaged modulator prototypes, and we are looking in parallel to accelerate work on 100Gbaud polymer modulators which are well ahead of any existing products on the market.
By being ahead, we appear to be gaining significant market leverage through technical advantage. Market leverage in this sense does not relate to financial leverage but to a specific competitive strength. For example, a technology or product may be perceived by customers as being unique rather than competing head-to-head with standard products.
Our position must be protected, and we do that with a combination of a strengthening patent portfolio and increased number of protected trade secrets and know-how. For example, one of our recently published patent applications [2] teaches the use of low voltage, very high-speed polymer modulators that embodies our market leverage. Other modulator technologies are struggling not only to achieve 100Gbaud but also to get their voltage level down to 1V.
We have received feedback that our P2IC™ platform with tiny 100Gbaud polymer modulators with low voltage electrical bias are extremely attractive for the next generation fiber optic transceivers. At the recent ECOC conference (European Conference on Optical Communications) we heard potential customers express concerns about technological limits of conventional technologies. This prestigious commercial trade show is where leading companies market their products and plan purchases of optoelectronics equipment. Our talk there spoke directly to addressing those concerns. In the highly visible Market Focus session [1] we showed that our polymer modulators have industry-matching performance at 50Gbaud, but also the capability of breaking these technological limits at 100Gbaud. A Tier 1 customer prospect for our modulators said, “you guys are in the forefront right now”.
Our Lightwave team at continues to have extremely high esprit des corps and is working diligently to meet our goals. We design, fabricate and characterize our modulators at our new HQ facility in Englewood, Colorado. We are still working closely with our packaging partner for the 50Gbaud prototypes, and we are advancing our reliability and characterization efforts to support our prototyping. We are actively engaged with test equipment manufacturers to deliver the most advanced test equipment for our state-of-the-art polymer results. Based on our experience in this industry, we expect the customer design-in process to start with initial evaluation of our samples and reliability data, proceeding to more extensive evaluation, optimization, and possible customization.
We continue to fine tune our business model with target markets, customers, and technical specifications. Discussions with prospective customers are validating that our modulators are ideally suited for the datacenter and telecommunications markets that are over 10km in length. Details of what they want from a prototype are fed back to the technical team. The team is more energized and focused than ever.
We are happy to report that we are making excellent progress and are on track to achieve the goals we set out at our ASM in May 2018.
Looking forward
We know that our shareholders believe this is a very slow a process, but in my experience at being both an industrial entrepreneur and intrapreneur (an intrapreneur is an entrepreneur inside a big corporation), our progress over the past couple of years is no less than incredible. We have a world-class team, and we are focused on our goals. I am personally proud of everyone on our team and our board. We appear to be poised to become a market leader with 100Gbaud, 1V tiny polymer modulators.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Michael Lebby
CEO

| From: Paul Lee | 12/12/2018 8:09:08 AM | | | | | | Lightwave Logic Targets 10 km and Greater Market
GlobeNewswire•December 12, 2018
Englewood, CO, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. ( LWLG), today announced a 50 Gbaud polymer modulator offering to address fiber optic communications needs for links over distances of 10 km or longer.
The company designs proprietary electro-optic polymers which enable optical components with superior speed, stability, low power and cost-efficiency. On top of the differentiating materials, it builds a technology platform including its own devices, packages and processes for manufacturability. The 50 Gbaud device is capable of base data rates of 100 Gbps when used with PAM-4 modulation, and of supporting aggregate data rates of 400 Gbps when implemented in an array.
Lightwave Logic CEO Michael Lebby said, “While we explore other multi-billion dollar markets the benchmark market opportunity for fiber optic link distances of 10km and greater is worth over $1B over the next decade. As data rates increase, we see a growing technology gap at these longer reaches that our modulators are ideally suited to fill.”
There is an increasing need for high performance interconnects over 10km between datacenter buildings. 5G mobile upgrade, autonomous driving and Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to increase the need for data stored and processed geographically close to the end user in edge data centers. These growing applications also require optics capable of very high speeds and greater than 10 km reach.
The company is engaging with prospective customers with a generic packaged prototype for preliminary evaluation. The company has the capability to further tune the modulator to meet specific customer needs by leveraging its in-house vertical integration that ranges from synthesized polymer materials to device fabrication and package design.
In line with roadmaps presented last May at its Annual Shareholder Meeting, Lightwave Logic is developing a platform consisting of materials, device and package approaches that are capable of extension up to 100 Gbaud, which is twice the data rate of today’s 50Gbaud modulator. The company believes target customers value the longevity of the polymer roadmap compared to those of incumbent technologies such as silicon (Si) and indium phosphide (InP) as they look to extend their own roadmaps. The 50 Gbaud modulator is its first announced offering on this platform.

| To: Paul Lee who wrote (1769) | 1/11/2019 12:26:45 PM | | From: Zoro99 | | | | LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC. CEO SENDS QUARTERLY OPEN LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
ENGLEWOOD, CO, Jan. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) announced today that it sent an Open Letter to its Shareholders.
Open Letter to Lightwave Logic, Inc. Shareholders
Fellow Shareholders,
I would like to take the opportunity today to bring all of you up to date with the excellent progress we have been making over the past quarter. This is a follow-on shareholder letter from the previous quarterly letter in October 2018. You can expect to receive the next quarterly letter roughly 3 months from now.
During the last quarter of 2018 we have continued to receive technical feedback from prospective customers, and the team is energized and motivated by our continued progress. As we noted in the prior quarter’s letter, we are encouraged by the validation of our belief that we are positioning ourselves ahead of our competitors as we noted in our recent white paper [1].
We are positioning ourselves ahead of our competition with our 50 Gbaud polymer modulator. From 3 years ago, we have successfully caught up with the competition by advancing from a 3 Gbps modulator to packaged 50 Gbps modulators in May 2018. In my personal experience in this highly technical and complex field, this is an almost unheard-of short period of time. In accordance with our annual plan presented at the May 2018 Annual Shareholder Meeting (ASM), we continue our development of the 50 Gbaud (capable of 50 Gbps and above) packaged modulator prototypes, and we have accelerated work on 100 Gbaud polymer modulators which are well ahead of any existing products on the market.
By being ahead of the competition, we believe we are gaining significant market leverage through technical advantage and performance of our polymer modulators.
Our market leverage means that Lightwave Logic has productized technology that customers not only want, but they see Lightwave Logic as the only place to access it. This means our products are not just slightly more attractive, they are technologically more attractive than the established technology. We see that competitive incumbent technology and its products simply cannot do what Lightwave Logic’s technology and products can.
Our position must be protected, and we do that with a combination of a strengthening patent portfolio and increased number of protected trade secrets and know-how. We are pleased to report that in December 2018 we were granted US Patent number 10,162,111 entitled, “Multi-fiber/port hermetic capsule sealed by metallization and method” [2]. While this brings our total portfolio to 30 patents, the greater significance in my opinion is that this is a packaging and integration patent, and moreover one that leverages established semiconductor manufacturing to solve photonics challenges. The novel package described in the patent reduces cost and size, but also simplifies assembly and increases reliability. We believe that this patent is especially significant for us because improved packaging and manufacturability are essential for photonics to reach the volumes and cost points demanded by the datacenter and 5G markets; and we believe this particular patent will protect our competitive advantages due to improved cost and volume manufacturability. We are very protective of our trade secrets and our proprietary information on our electro-optic polymers, particularly as we go out to market. Our patent portfolio protects our enabling technologies ranging from our electro-optic polymer material through packaging.
We are building our intellectual property with the view to maintaining our competitive position in the years ahead. Another of our patent applications was published late in the third quarter of 2018 [3]. This invention relates to the power and cost saving potential of a high performance 50 Gbaud (and potentially 100 Gbaud) direct drive polymer modulator. With these attributes we hope to gain significant market leverage at 50 Gbaud and beyond. Presently, other modulator technologies are struggling not only to achieve 100 Gbaud but also to get their voltage level down to 1V.
We believe our P2IC™platform with tiny 100 Gbaud polymer modulators with low voltage electrical bias are extremely attractive for the next generation fiber optic transceivers. We also continue to believe the market will value our small form factor 50Gbaud polymer modulators.
In the last quarter, our communications included an announcement of participation in influential industry groups which include potential customers. We also announced our intention to participate in the medium-reach (10 km and above) fiber optics market in addition to the other market segments we target. These and future press releases are, or will be, available on our website www.lightwavelogic.com. We have begun adding supplementary information to our website and plan to continue to add more material. The latest published content is highlighted on the homepage. We encourage you to sign up for “All Communications” via our website to receive direct notification of press releases and new website content as they are published.
We are working diligently to meet our goals as laid out at the May 2018 ASM. We are designing, fabricating, and characterizing our modulators at our HQ facility in Englewood, Colorado.
This work includes increasing the efficiency of our electro-optic materials towards the goal of lower drive voltage at 50 Gbps.
This work also includes improved and optimized device designs which support the goal of demonstrating greater than 50 GHz electro-optic bandwidth.
We have intensified our device design work around improved launch of light from InP lasers so that our modulators support the goal of designing the PIC platform with InP lasers.
We are working closely with our packaging partner for the 50 Gbaud prototype.
Internally, we have increased our reliability testing capabilities in support of the goal of testing packaged modulators.
Per the stated goal to upgrade our optical testing and characterization laboratory for higher performance measurements (>50 GHz), we are actively engaged with test equipment manufacturers to deliver the most advanced test equipment which have capabilities up to 110 GHz.
We are fine tuning our business model with target markets, customers, and technical specifications. Discussions with prospective customers are validating that our modulators are ideally suited for the datacenter and telecommunications markets that are over 10 km in length. This first target market is expected to be worth over $1B over the next decade. As we noted in the in the previous quarterly letter, the customer design-in process encompasses initial evaluation of our samples, reliability and test data, proceeding to more extensive evaluation, optimization, and possible customization. The potential customers’ technical feedback is provided back to our technical team.
We are working through all our milestones as laid out in the May 2018 ASM, and we are happy to report that we are making excellent progress and are on track to achieve the goals we set out at that time.
Looking forward
Our target markets in datacom, telecommunications, 5G etc., include fiber reaches that are over 10km in length. These markets are forecasted to grow significantly over the next decade. While participating in these markets we will explore opportunities in shorter reach markets that are in the 1-10 km lengths. We will not only scale our polymer modulator products both with technical specifications and high performance, but also in volume to bring the cost in line with customer expectations. The issuing of patents and patent applications that address advanced high bandwidth modulators with low voltage drive together with manufacturable low cost optical sub-assembly packaging will position our company and products well in our target markets. The combination of advanced technological solutions for this market-place as we move forward is perfect to commercialize our proprietary electro-optic polymer platform.
Thank you for your continuing support.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) announced today that it will be providing the first technical results following its prior announcement of a materials breakthrough in February. The company CEO will be giving two presentations at the prestigious European Conference on Communications (ECOC) in Dublin, Ireland next week.

At the heart of Lightwave Logic's PerkinamineTM electro-optic polymers are its designer molecules or chromophores. The chromophores along with their supporting materials are a complex engineered material system which can be designed to target specific applications. The company's new material is being developed for the multi-billion-dollar telecom and data markets supporting Internet, 5G and IoT (Internet of Things) webscale services. The goal is to lower electrical power and hardware cost which have become exorbitant under the insatiable demand for data networking. As a class of materials, electro-optic polymers have excellent natural properties, which results in both unmatched speed and lower drive voltage. The improved material doubles the speed and halves the devices' voltage requirements compared to the company's existing material and industry-wide conventional materials.
On Sunday Sept 22, CEO Dr. Michael Lebby will lead off a workshop on Hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuits with the talk entitled "Polymer modulators enable the next generation of speeds and low power in optical networks." (See ECOC Workshops) Extremely high data rates in fiber networks for datacenters are a hot topic at the ECOC, one of the most prestigious and long-standing technical conferences and tradeshow events in its field. This forum combines the latest progress reports from the world's top research laboratories, commercial product demonstrations from major vendors and application requirements from giant service providers.
On Tuesday Sept 24, Dr. Lebby will give a presentation in the ECOC Market Focus program entitled "Polymer modulators with >50GHz performance for power consumption reduction at 400, 800, and 1600 Gbaud aggregated datarates." (See Market Focus Program) Based on the previously published abstract, this talk will present measurements of over 50GHz bandwidth which exceed the speeds currently used to support the latest100 Gbps PAM4 datarates. Higher optical speeds can reduce the power consumption and cost which goes into compensating electronics at both transmit and receive ends of the link. It will also discuss the potential to drive polymer modulator bandwidths in excess of 80GHz. It will also put these results in the context of the latest work in photonics roadmaps (IPSR – International Photonics Systems Roadmap process, 2019) that look out towards 1600Gbps with polymer-based technologies.

| To: Zoro99 who wrote (1776) | 9/26/2019 9:45:09 AM | | From: Zoro99 | | | | Lightwave Logic shows ultra-highspeed performance and robustness for optical communications
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) announces that it presented positive technical results on its high-performance material for optical communications in two talks at the prestigious European Conference on Communications (ECOC) in Dublin, Ireland this week.
CEO Dr. Michael Lebby said, "One of the key challenges that came out loud and clear at this year's conference is the need for breakthroughs in new materials to better scale to higher data rates."
The company had announced a new material that promised significantly improved performance in February. In the first public release of data on this material this week, Lightwave Logic showed measurements of the improved speed that exceeds 80 GHz. This speed can support both 100 Gbps NRZ and 200 Gbps PAM4 single-channel serial datastreams and by aggregation to multiples of those data rates such as 400 Gbps, 800 Gbps and 1600 Gbps. The data included the ability for the device to convert electrical data to optical data with excellent fidelity over a wide frequency range from low speed to high speed. This attribute is required for use with digital data. The presentation showed measurements of material response over frequency and the resulting the optical data bits stream.
The company also presented thermal stability data of the activated (electro-optic) states of these materials. In his presentation, Dr. Lebby explained that these materials are poled into a metastable state in order to activate their data-carrying characteristics. The data confirmed that the engineering of the new material resulted in higher stability.
The two well-attended presentations were both given at the European Conference on Optical Communications in Dublin, Ireland on Sunday September 22 and Tuesday Sept 24.
