Yep, still here. I stop by every once in a blue moon.

Believe it or not, I created this subject 20 years ago to the month, and am still holding a nice little pile of shares from way back when. I've lost track of the company name changes. :)

So now that IHUB has gone toxic, hoping to get some more attention on this board.

[caly] Nothing like a jump in LWLG to bring me back to SI. :)

Post# of 179648 Go

Here’s all the validation I need:

1. USA based foundry saying they’ll be offering polymer modulators in the future

2. Programmable photonics company saying they’ll use polymer modulators when available

3. PIC design company using GF Fotonix telling me they’d love to use polymer modulators

4. Employee of European foundry giving Lebby extremely high praise

5. Tier 1 foundry mentioning that they’ve had discussions on adding polymers to their platform

6. Anthony Yu from GFS saying heterogenous integration of Pockels materials is REQUIRED in the future. If you don’t understand, EOP is the ONLY Pockels material that does NOT require exotic epitaxial growth, etching, or bonding processes. EOP can simply be dropped onto an existing SiPh wafer.

7. Head of Silicon Photonics at NVDIA saying new materials need to be added to SiPh. Specifically calls out BTO as being super expensive.

8. Transceiver company mentioning they’ve in discussions with polymer company (and I know this isn’t LWLG’s #1 transceiver company)

9. Quantum computing company mentioning they’re currently investigating “TFLN and other materials” for their platform.

10. One of the top 10 photonics people in the industry (maybe even more ‘famous’ than Lebby) tells me to my face that he doesn’t doubt EOP will commercialize.

This is all stuff I’ve heard with my own ears or seen with my own eyes.

And your source says he isn’t hearing a peep? What a joke. Oh that’s right…who will open up to a contrarian journalist with a big mouth - especially while under NDA? My sources tell me Mark L has little respect in the industry.

How am I hearing all this and he isn’t? Rhetorical I don’t care to engage with you any more.

Hi Xena… thanks for posting so much detailed and relevant LWLG information. It’s been a couple of years of quite normal consolidation for this stock - in the wake of its rather unprecedented price move from under a $1 to around $12-$15. Since then it has had, what I deem, a very typical Fibonacci pullback of around 62% - though the volatility was extremely high initially after the run, due to the very short time-frame in which that price move transpired. The past year the stock has seen a much tighter range of trading, in my view representing a more realistic and fair valuation for where the company stands in its path to commercialization of its products.

Most investors, and I’m among them, believe 2024 and 2025 will be absolutely critical years for LWLG - with the small scale commercial penetration of their product beginning this year, and a much larger footprint being established in 2025. Many investors on IHUB - lightning rod, microchips, Steven Dice, and others - have pointed out the ease of LWLG being able to become a much larger company without having to outlay a ton of capital, as a result of their product having such a potentially large numerical footprint, with little additional overhead expense (unlike other small micro-cap companies). While I agree with this possible scenario, my experience with micro-cap companies over 20 years always keeps my thought process on the very cautious side.

Consequently, while I’m cautiously optimistic that these other investors point of view is correct, the idea that LWLG will be bought out before their full price potential is reached continues to dwell in the back of my mind.
In any case, this $4-$6 price range over the last year has proven to be a very solid and stable basing and consolidation phase for the stock, as the fundamental and commercial viability of the company catches up and gets closer to reality/fruition. I’ve been invested in LWLG since 2007 or 2008, so I look forward to the next couple of years. Thanks again for posting all the information.

Regards,
Tod

[XenaLives] I would really love to see more discussion over here...

Great posts by Lighteningrod....

Why does slide 28 not give the yield percentage and state instead that they have high yields >1000 units ?

The ratio of good chips to bad chips is called the yield and it's never 100 percent. . Chip companies very closely guard their actual yield numbers the way poker players guard their cards and for the same reason: They don't want to give competitors any inside information. Anything less than 100 percent yield is embarrassing, but every company knows that goal is impossible. Yields of 85 percent to about 97 percent are typical for midrange and high-end ICs. Simple chips will enjoy higher yields, whereas new or complex chips will have embarrassingly low yields.

Now this is a solid clue that production trials were done in at least one foundry. The foundry didn’t want actual yields revealed. If Lebby had done a run in his own foundry at his lab (ha ha this is such a ridiculous idea) then he would have disclosed the percentage yield exactly so the foundries would know they were getting good run rates with high yields.

No this is the language of production trials in at least one foundry and therefore achievable at many other foundries in time.

The language of foundries is only possible to understand if proper research is done.

_______________________________

Foundries are NOT going to release any information about progress in photonics for PVT or MVT trial runs or about PDK successes for that matter. They must hold their cards tight like a poker player if they are to gain an advantage in the industry.

Therefore Stop finding fault with Lightwave Logic for failing to provide clarity on foundry work and progress with PDK’s. That simply is NOT going to happen and we should not expect this type of information to be released if foundries will not allow it.

Chip companies very closely guard their actual yield numbers the way poker players guard their cards and for the same reason: They don't want to give competitors any inside information.

TWST: Let’s start with some background on both the company and you.

Dr. Lebby: The company started about 20 years ago as the founders spun out of DuPont as a chemistry company designed to generate electro-optic polymers using chromophores.

TWST: And just to help the audience, a chromophore is really a molecule that you can insert that when struck by light reacts and generates electrical flow. Correct?

Dr. Lebby: Yes. An easy way to rephrase that is, a chromophore is a molecule with a “conjugated backbone” with its molecules electrically aligned. This conjugated backbone allows for really fast electron movement, and this really fast electron movement allows light to be switched really quickly.

TWST: Thanks, please continue.

Dr. Lebby: The company spent its first decade developing different types of chromophores that were activated by electro-optic effects. I joined the company in 2015 to look for applications for these electro-optic polymers. The major application and the biggest opportunity is in a device called an optical modulator.

Optical modulators are devices used in the millions today on the internet. They physically stand in front of the lasers we use to generate the light that goes into the fiber optics. A modulator blocks and lets through the light in digital code to generate the information transferred through the internet.

The company since 2015, since I joined, has been making its own electro-optic polymers using chromophores and also putting those polymers into modulated devices that can switch light really quickly.

The big net bonus of using polymer materials or organic materials is that they switch light a lot faster than the semiconductor technologies traditionally used, so you can send a lot more information. And you can also do it in lower power. We’ve progressed a long way in the last few years.

TWST: And your background?

Dr. Lebby: I was born in the U.K., in London, educated in U.K. universities. I’ve got two doctorates and an MBA. I’ve been in the fiber optics semiconductor field since the 1980s. I came to the States in 1985 to join Bell Labs, did some initial research work there on lasers and different types of devices.

Since then, I’ve been working in R&D and production manufacturing of different types of devices that include lasers, photo detectors, modulators, and things that help light to go faster using fiber optics as well as free space light, meaning optical beams sent through the air. You can see applications of that today with sensing and LiDAR.

So I’ve been in the field as a photonics engineer, with specialties in fiber optics and semiconductors and electronics for the last 40 years. And I’ve done various jobs, including running companies, R&D groups, in production and sales, too, so I’ve seen lots of different aspects of the industry.

TWST: Now stepping back to this technology for a moment, can you explain a bit more about chromophores?

Dr. Lebby: The fast electron movement in chromophores allows light to be switched really quickly by changing the refractive index of the material, or how easily light can pass through. When you have a material like a chromophore and you apply a voltage called a bias across it, it acts similarly to an organic light-emitting diode, or LED, another polymer-based material. You place a bias across that and you generate red, green, or blue light.

With our chromophores, if you put a bias across it, you can switch light really fast. In fact, much faster than with semiconductors. And you can also do it at super-low voltages, which saves lots of electrical power.

TWST: And you’re basically saying, turning the light on and off very rapidly.

Dr. Lebby: Exactly. So if you think about the fiber optic internet, where you have fiber optic cables, you have a laser at one end of the fiber that generates the light. Ten years ago, we couldn’t turn the lasers on and off that quickly. We needed to turn them on and off a lot faster. Physically turning the laser on and off doesn’t work very fast. You can imagine just like a flashlight, turning the flashlight on and off takes time.

But it’s faster to put a shutter in front of the flashlight. And if that shutter moves really quickly, then the ones and the zeros, essentially the digital information that goes down the fiber optic cable — light for on, no light for off — that generates ones and zeros. If you have a shutter that works super-fast, then you can send a lot more information faster.

We put our polymers in front of the laser with an electrical bias and we can switch the light really quickly. That allows us to send a lot more information down the fiber optic cable.

TWST: So it’s sort of like the photographic filter that you can control electronically. It used that as a shutter.

Dr. Lebby: Yes, it’s like a shutter on a camera or a windscreen wiper or your eye blinking. You’re blinking really fast, right?

TWST: And the reason that you need the speed of switching the light is you can put a lot more ones and zeros in a row in a given amount of time.

Dr. Lebby: And the easiest way to picture this is we all have internet coming into our homes today via our internet cable. And if we don’t have high data rates, 50 megs, 100 megs and the kids have all got their video streaming going, sometimes we don’t have the bandwidth to keep everything going.

If you have not just 50 megabits or 100 megabits but a gig or 10 gigs, you can have 10 cameras streaming or 10 computers streaming, and not even worry about these things, plus you can have an increased quality. You can have a higher-density or higher-quality image.

And so, more bandwidth is what everybody has really been asking for over the last decade.

TWST: And it’s also important from the provider viewpoint because all of this traffic is being intermingled on its transmission media.

Dr. Lebby: Look at our interstate freeway system. Some cities have got eight lanes and other cities have got two lanes. If you look at the internet as the interstate freeway system, the data centers are the intersections. All the traffic gets routed to a different destination, and it comes back through the data centers. If we can send the traffic faster, it gets routed to the destination a lot faster and we can have our return signal a lot faster.

It’s not just the consumers or the end users who benefit. It’s actually the network providers and the network operators really benefit too.

TWST: Is your material only used on the sending side? Or is it used as a demodulator on the receiving side?

Dr. Lebby: We use this only on the sending side because what we’re doing is we’re modulating the light that generates the information. When the light goes to the fiber, it gets collected by a photo detector at the destination. What we have really helps the transmitter on the sending side.

TWST: And you talked about an aligned backbone. What’s that?

Dr. Lebby: That refers to the idea of a conjugated backbone. Each chromophore is a molecule that is a dipole, with a positive and negative end. In the old LCD digital displays, we would align all the dipoles in the LCD liquid material by putting an electrical bias, or voltage on it. That meant you could go from black to transparent. Ours is a similar concept, except our material is solid, it’s not liquid.

TWST: And then, from what I was reading on your site, you heat the material first, then put on the electromagnetic field, which aligns everything, and then you cool it down to keep everything aligned.

Dr. Lebby: Correct. It’s a thermal process where you can align all the dipoles by heating the organic material, and then you freeze them in place when you cool it down. That allows us to apply very small voltage biases to switch the light really quickly.

TWST: Can you give some idea of how much advantage there is in terms of transmitting information versus using semiconductors?

Dr. Lebby: The incumbent technology today is semiconductors. These are materials like silicon, lithium niobate, or indium phosphide. These are all semiconductor materials used in modulators on the internet today. For an apples-to-apples comparison, we look at the electrical optical bandwidth of these devices, which is a metric of speed performance.

Most of the devices used on the internet today have a bandwidth of about 20 to 30 gigahertz. Our technology starts at 70. We’ve already demonstrated above 100. And we’ve had nice experiments that show that the technology can go out over and above 250 gigahertz. This can be upwards of an order of magnitude faster than technology today — five to 10 times faster.

Also, the incumbent semiconductor technology needs a few volts to drive the modulators. We can drive this polymer technology under a volt. That’s a big power saving.

And if you think about some of the Achilles heels that these data center folks are really struggling with — with the rise of artificial intelligence and the new computational processing overheads that everybody’s all excited about — they need to send information faster, on one hand.

On the other hand, they need to go rein in the power consumption because these things are taking a good percentage of the electrical grid of the U.S. And so, they’re looking for innovative technologies to bring the power consumption down and to send data faster.

TWST: And also, the higher the power consumption, the more heat you have to dissipate.

Dr. Lebby: Exactly.

TWST: So, in other words, some of the industries you’re looking at, it could be data center, computational stuff, it could be telecommunications.

Dr. Lebby: Yes, you’re exactly right. Our initial application is what I call fiber optic communications: telecom, data comm, high performance computing. But it’s the fiber optics part of it, it’s not the processing of the chip, that’s all done by silicon. What we do is take those signals of the chip and then send them really quickly to the destination.

TWST: So it gives you an advantage in terms of companies’ work. They don’t have to replace all of their equipment. It’s not a wholesale change. It’s an exchange of the signaling part. But the fiber optics aren’t different. The computational stuff isn’t different. That makes adoption easier and more possible.

Dr. Lebby: That’s exactly right. The infrastructure remains in place. All we’re really doing is literally changing the modulator.

TWST: Because one of the tough things in telecom or in any sort of computing, data centers, cloud computing, or what have you, is the minute you start saying, “Oh, and you have to replace everything,” they start going, “Oh, wait, we can’t do that.”

Dr. Lebby: No, you’re absolutely right. And we have another advantage here. It’s more architectural, right? So if you can directly drive polymer modulators with a 1 volt or less, you don’t need the dedicated integrated circuits called driver chips. You can directly drive these things from ASICs — application-specific integrated circuits — or DSP — digital signal processing — chips.

Architecturally, you need fewer ICs. You save even more power consumption if fewer ICs go into the network card. It’s a bonus that if you get your voltage to the right level, the power consumption not only goes down from the device you’re using but it goes down architecturally because these data center architects can design these things on fewer chips.

TWST: Is this related to processes that could be used to create polymer semiconductors? Or is that totally out of the realm?

Dr. Lebby: Well, it depends how you define polymer semiconductors. The way we’re using it is, we apply liquid polymer material onto silicon wafers. And then we can cure it onto the wafers, just like you would cure a photoresist in an oven. So, we’re using standard fabrication techniques. Now, some people would say, well, that’s polymer semiconductors, because you got polymer onto a semiconductor.

TWST: But that’s not a polymer being a semiconductor, that’s polymer sitting on a semiconductor.

Dr. Lebby: That is absolutely correct. Look at it as a polymer semiconductor.

TWST: I mean, otherwise, it would be the same as saying that spreading peanut butter on a piece of bread turns the peanut butter into bread.

Dr. Lebby: Yes, that’s a really good analogy.

TWST: Now, what are the market dynamics here? You’ve been at this, the development, for a very long time. And your financials make clear you haven’t brought in revenue. So I’ve got to think that it’s been a long stretch to get up to the point where you can actually start to go to market. Is that correct?

Dr. Lebby: When I joined the company back in 2015, the designs of the chromophores and the polymers at the time were for the telecom market. The telecom market requires 20-year lifetimes and extreme temperature ranges. If you look at the requirements of the data center market, the reliability doesn’t have to be 20 years.

TWST: They tear down outmoded data centers in five to 10 years and build new ones.

Dr. Lebby: Exactly right. And in the temperature ranges, 0- to 70-degrees Celsius, which are much more amenable for polymers. So when I looked at the opportunity in 2015, I thought, wow, the goalposts have changed. This is a really nice situation for polymers.

And polymers have been tried before, but I think they lost out in competition with semiconductors, even though they had really good performance.

Nowadays, from a market standpoint, we have the performance in polymers and the end users, the customers, all know this. What we’re going through right now is what I will call the customers wants to see, a “reliability dataset.”

TWST: They want to see somebody else has used it already, right? I’ve been a little flippant there, but they want proof that it’s going to work for an extended period of time.

Dr. Lebby: And it’s exactly the same as 10 years ago, when we first got OLED displays in mobile phones and TVs. There were LCDs, but they had their own problems of fast switching, and you could see it in sports on TVs.

What the OLED industry did 10 years ago was put out a reliability dataset. “Look, this is the reliability data of all these OLED polymers. And look at it today, I mean, do you ever see an LCD display that much?”

We’re going to do the same education for market acceptance. Once the market sees a reliability dataset that we’re putting together right now, I think my plan of getting the electronic polymers ubiquitous is going to be successful.

TWST: What are the financial considerations on their end? How much do they gain versus how much does it cost them to gain?

Dr. Lebby: Our business model allows licensing, tech transfer and actually selling devices.

If you’re one of these folks that are putting together what we call a fiber optic transceiver, which is a little box that contains the modulators and lasers and some of the other components, you’re really just swapping out a chip.

But replacing the chip is in some ways like an old four-cylinder motor car and putting a V8 in it. Our chip represents putting the V8 into the motorcar. You’re just boosting up the performance and lowering the power consumption.

And that’s really what we’re doing. We’re not really changing a lot of the infrastructure. We’re just putting a faster solution in existing transceiver boxes and in existing networks.

TWST: What’s the cost differential for that?

Dr. Lebby: We can scale our technology economically. And we certainly can beat some of the costs that are going into the transceivers today. But what we’re actually doing is providing an incredible performance increase. That will allow us to raise our ASPs — average sales prices — and keep our margins. And it’s really all about the margins, making sure that we can maintain our margins while we scale in volume.

We’re comfortable we can do that because our advantage is lower power and much higher speed, as well as a small footprint in a very small size so these components fit into these boxes.

TWST: So you’re looking at value pricing, where the part might be more expensive, but you’re providing more performance and using less power, and as a result it’s going to be less expensive.

Dr. Lebby: Also, you’re saving the customer architectural IC designs. You don’t need driver chips and they are really expensive, way more than what a device would cost. And so, you’re providing that advantage to network operators.

TWST: When do you think these sales are actually going to start? How long for you to become a product company with regular revenue?

Dr. Lebby: In terms of the public guidance we’ve given, we put out a press release back in May for our first commercial licensing of our technology. That was our first public commercial deal. The business model allows us to license our chromophore materials as well as put our materials into devices and sell those devices.

Commercially, we’ve begun that road. We haven’t given a lot of guidance into the details of the revenue expectations at this point. But commercially, we were in a new phase since May this year.

TWST: Do you see your ideal customers like Cisco or whoever makes these particular modulation devices? Are they the ones who are going to buy?

Dr. Lebby: Yes, they will — a lot of these larger companies. The Ciscos of this world as well as the Intels and the Cienas, these types of players, Googles and others. A lot of these folks are actually vertically integrated. So they actually do a lot of the things themselves. And some of the parts they send out to foundries or to contract manufacturers.

As I see the business model, you need to be flexible, because some of these guys will want to buy from you direct. And other ones who will say, go work with our contract manufacturer or go work with our foundry, get qualified there, and then we’ll give you the business.

And so, we have to be flexible with these large guys, because they have different working models.

TWST: Can you explain the jumps in stock price? In 2021, it suddenly shot up — or starting 2021. And it came up to $18.47 according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Then you had ups and downs. Right now, you’re around $6.70 a share. What’s been going on? What’s been driving the changes?

Dr. Lebby: Well, I can’t answer stock price questions because I have no idea why the stock price goes up and down. But what I can tell you is back in 2021, we actually went public with a plan to scale up our technology. We provided more insight into the impact of our technology with the data centers in 2021. And I think there was definitely a lot of interest.

We actually did an organic shift upwards from the OTC boards to the NASDAQ board without raising money, without doing a reverse split. And as far as we can tell, that was extremely rare. So that was really exciting.

What you’ve seen over the last two years is that we were still essentially a pre-revenue company. Our stock price is not based on quarterly financials like most companies. What we’ve been focusing on in the last two years is getting the technical job done. That’s really where my focus is.

And yes, you’re right. The stock price has varied quite a bit. And I’m sure there’s some folks who play it. But one of the things that we have that a lot of companies don’t have, we have a huge retail investor base that are very loyal. So loyal that every day I get emails from investors asking questions, either getting excited or not excited. I mean, they’re really showing a lot of interest.

In our annual shareholder meeting, over 100 of these folks turn up every year, which is quite amazing. It’s like a technical conference. And I know this makes it more exciting because when you have a loyal shareholder base that really are excited about the technology, it makes me more excited. I get enthused. I just want to make sure it happens.

Has this had a role in the share price? I think it has. I mean, I’m no expert. I can’t really explain it. I’m sure we have a number of shorts that play the boards just like everybody else. But our goal is to create shareholder value and get this technology scaled, ramped and having the impact with the end users like we expect it to be.

And that’s the excitement. It’s not the how or the what. We know what we’re doing. And we know how we’re doing it. It’s why. Why are we doing this? I want to get this technology ubiquitous. I want everybody to use it. That’s really what’s driving us.

TWST: You said you started a new phase in May. How much longer do you think before you’re really hitting the market and hitting customers in a regular way or in a more regular?

Dr. Lebby: The best way I’ve answered this question before is I’m really expecting 2023 and 2024 to be really exciting years. We go into a different phase of the company now. What was this commercial licensing all about? In May, it was market acceptance. We had market acceptance of this technology for the first time. And that’s really going to snowball. We haven’t given you detailed guidance yet. But certainly, at a very high level, the market acceptance of our material commercially means we’re looking forward to really exciting ’23 and ’24.

TWST: And it’s important to remember that industries move more slowly than people sometimes realize.

Dr. Lebby: Sure. It took some time for OLED lights, OLED displays, but they’re everywhere. And everybody uses it. I expect the same thing with our technology.

TWST: You have something new to the market and it seems to be revolutionary. And still, sometimes companies are slow to take it up because there’s a lot of factors that go into the decision. Is this going to work with what we’re doing? What do we have to change? Is there going to be sufficient technical support? There are so many questions that come up in adopting new technology. So it’s 2023, 2024 may be exciting years for you. It may be that things will take a little longer. It’s hard to tell.

Dr. Lebby: Those are good observations. And I would add one other thing. We are a small company focused on fiber optics. But if you think about free space and you think about LiDAR, you think about sensing, you think about displays or projection displays, our technology has the potential impact in some of these other optical areas, which we really haven’t explored to any great extent right now.

TWST: And I’m also going to bet that your costs are going to go up. You’ll have to hire more people in sales and support the more customers you get.

Dr. Lebby: Without question. But I think one of the things we’ve done so far is we don’t have any debt. And so, we’re financially a very clean company. We’ve managed our run rate and our costs very carefully. And we built the company reasonably steadily and slowly. We want to make a big impact and we’ll hire. We’ve hired quite a few people this year, and we’ll hire as appropriate when we scale up.

Fruno — 6/8/2021 7:45:53 PM

The recent rise in share price is a reaction to the video released on May 27 in conjunction with the annual shareholders meeting. Anyone interested in the company should watch it and peruse the rest of the website.

My summary of what makes LWLG so compelling that I've held shares for 15 years:

20+ years of development has produced chromophores (dye molecules) that react to electricity by emitting photons (electro-optical effect). The photons can be regulated to encode data in a binary manner to convey information, similar to electrons passing through a silicon chip. Photons are faster and require less energy to produce.
LWLG embeds the chromophore in a polymer (plastic) substrate in configurations similar to existing products that use different chemistry, and that are less stable, more expensive, and require more power to operate than LWLG's materials.
The potential applications for the technology are numerous, but LWLG is concentrating on modulators for data transmission in data centers. Modulators translate digital information in the form of electrical signals into light to be transmitted through optical fibers.
LWLG has proven that it's modulators can transmit data at speeds faster than any other commercially available product. In the recent video, it is made clear that they have materials that exceed the speed that can be measured by existing equipment. LWLG worked with an equipment manufacturer to develop the current 'state of the art' - it must now be extended to higher speeds.
LWLG has developed packaging and manufacturing methods that allow their devices to be layered on to silicon chips using existing fabrication technology.
The modulators require a laser as a light source. Current products also require a driver, a separate component to provide power to the laser. LWLG's modulators use less power, and are therefore 'driverless'. They don't need the extra component to provide extra power. This is a huge advantage.
They are working with chip fabs to develop "PDKs", production development kits. These are specs foundries can use to integrate the tech into their manufacturing processes.
All of this tech is well protected by an extensive IP portfolio.
Much of the details of the development of the tech has been withheld due to NDAs with potential customers. In the video, it is explained that sometime 'soon' that should change, with joint PRs with NDA partners.
When the video was released, LWLG had met all the requirements for listing on the NASDAQ except for share price. The recent rise over $4 meets the requirement. Uplisting to the NASDAQ should be announced in the near future.

Lightwave Logic Provides Corporate Update on Strategic Intellectual Property Development EffortsAggressive IP Strategy Designed to Protect All Aspects of the Company's Proprietary Solutions; Continues to Extend Effective Life of Patent Protection on Core & Next-Generation Technologies in Key Global Markets

January 28, 2021

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced a corporate update on its aggressive intellectual property development efforts, designed to extend the effective life of patent protection on both the Company's core and next-generation technologies in key global markets.

"Our technology platform leverages our proprietary electro-optic polymers, designed to help scale existing internet infrastructure by transmitting data at higher speeds with less power, which is absolutely essential as the demand for data continues its exponential growth trajectory," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "The need for technology like ours became apparent during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as stay-at-home orders drove immense internet traffic, forcing some companies to throttle speeds and temporarily disable the option for HD video streaming in certain regions. This is the moment when many began to realize the importance of what we are doing at Lightwave Logic.

"Our intellectual property portfolio, designed to strengthen our freedom of manufacturing in the field, now spans over 70 domestic and international patents and patent applications. As we continue to aggressively develop our intellectual property portfolio in advance of future commercial initiatives, we have added and continue to add a number of exciting new patents and patent applications for technologies we developed to address feedback from our ongoing evaluations with potential customers.

"All of these new inventions over the past year all add to our already robust IP portfolio. The breadth and depth of our patent portfolio is impressive, allowing freedom of manufacturing in today's competitive environment. While prior to today the company has noted publicly that it has over 50 issued patents that support our electro-optic polymer platform, if patent applications and international derivatives are included that number increases to over 70 as noted above," continued Lebby.

"Our portfolio of patents is strongest in the materials segment, where we maintain over 35 patents enabling unrivaled performance characteristics. As we have noted for the past year, we have been focusing on building strong and defendable patents in fabrication of chromophores with polymer materials and in this segment, we have achieved over 7 patents to-date. Designing electro-optical materials into high performing chromophores, and then fabricating them into modulator devices has allowed us to patent a number of high performing designs and structures. This has led us to build our device portfolio to over 15 patents. Electro-optic polymer modulator devices need to be packaged for operation, and we have also proudly generated over 15 high-performance package patents so that our modulators can be prototyped in data centric applications. In addition, we currently are processing a number of new inventions in the materials, chemistry, fabrication, devices and packaging spaces that are currently under review at the U.S. Patent office.

"IP efforts such as these serve to further solidify our U.S. and International patent portfolio, protecting our technology platform and strengthening our competitive position in the industry. As we continue to generate strong interest from industry players, our IP portfolio will enable us to consider complementary revenue opportunities as we progress with potential partners in 2021 to address the telecommunications and datacenter segments of the market.

"I can proudly say that the tireless efforts of our engineers and scientists have created a very strong competitive position for the company. I look forward to continued success on this front as we march ever closer to mass commercialization – a key milestone in our efforts to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Lebby.

Lightwave Logic Announces its Proprietary Polymer Technology Compatible with Standard Integrated Photonics Platforms

Technological Improvement a Direct Result of Feedback from Potential Customers Under NDA

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., October 15, 2020 -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced that it determined that its proprietary polymer technologies are compatible with currently available integrated photonics platforms as a direct result of feedback from several of its potential customers under NDA.

Lightwave Logic’s proprietary electro-optic materials are currently in the prototyping phase and are fabricated onto standard silicon wafers. This advancement, driven by the feedback the company received from potential customers to-date, has allowed the company’s materials to be suitable for additive integration to integrated photonics platforms such as silicon photonics, as well as indium phosphide and other standard platforms – therefore enabling simpler integration by customers.

“This breakthrough allows a polymer modulator to enhance the performance of existing integrated photonics solutions in the marketplace, enabling higher speed and lower power consumption on foundry-fabricated photonics designs,” said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic.

“The fact that our technology is additive to existing platforms such as silicon photonics is critical in today’s data-rich environment, as it means that electro-optic polymers are not actually competing with integrated photonic platforms, but rather enabling them to be more competitive in the marketplace. This improvement, driven by potential customer feedback, is truly exciting as it further validates our EO polymer platform as ideally suited to enable optical networking more efficiently than ever,” concluded Lebby.

Lightwave Logic Issues Shareholder Letter and Provides Corporate Update

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today issued a letter to shareholders from its Chief Executive Officer, Michael Lebby.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

2019 was a watershed year for our company as we continued to innovate, grow and move ever closer to validation from key industry players. As many are familiar, we are building a technology platform leveraging our proprietary electro-optic polymers designed to help scale existing internet infrastructure by transmitting data at higher speeds with less power, which is absolutely essential as the demand for data continues its exponential growth trajectory.

Throughout 2019, we experienced breakthroughs with our materials and devices, which are garnering a significant amount of attention from key industry players. On the materials front, early in the year we announced our internally engineered electro-optic polymer material, which more than doubled the electro-optic response than our previous material. This material will continue to be tested and shows great promise for future iterations of our technology. Later in the year, we also presented data on our material stability and reliability, showcasing improved thermal stability of our internally developed materials at 85 degrees Celsius. In 2018, we talked about a modulator device with a speed of 40 GHz that could support 50-400 Gbps applications, depending on modulation scheme and integration. As we moved through 2019, we significantly improved our capabilities, showing data that our modulators could exceed 80 GHz—which is faster than currently available commercial solutions—while also being capable of supporting industry-typical 100-800 Gbps applications. We continue to discuss prototype modulator specifications with potential customers, and to-date, the feedback has been very positive.

Technology & Customer Discussions
On the technology front, we continued to push our modulators to extreme speeds while maintaining data quality and our low-voltage characteristics. This unique capability, which is paramount to our competitive advantage, already exceeds what many thought was possible with currently available commercial technology solutions. As we move through 2020, our main focus is squarely focused upon refining the performance characteristics of our technology platform, primarily surrounding better signal quality and lower voltages. We firmly believe that these final steps on our next-generation modulators will position us favorably for testing, and ultimately, market acceptance as we push to deliver an enabling solution that the data communications and telecommunications markets are rapidly working to solve.

Today, we are currently working with leading integrated circuit (IC) vendors under NDA to validate our technology with their driver chips, with the goal of providing potential customers with prototypes that can be evaluated in their systems. Typically, a customer engagement process can be lengthy, but ultimately, very rewarding over the long-run. Having been actively engaged in the NDA process and prototype specification, testing and optimization, our next steps include more detailed discussions, performance feedback and further optimization towards an initial design-in. Due to confidentiality, we are unable to disclose details of our work with potential customers under NDA; although, we continue to introduce our technology to new potential customers such as silicon photonics foundries, component suppliers, high-speed module suppliers and networking equipment companies. Initial feedback has been very positive, and we plan to provide further announcements on this front as we are able.

As we move forward, we expect our multi-pronged business model to provide Lightwave Logic with the flexibility to drive sustainable revenues over the long-term. Among these options are potentially an asset-light technology licensing model, the production and sale of components, or via a technology transfer with certain strategic customers.

Our Continued Innovation
Our in-house chemistry team continues to create new materials, in addition to those we are using in current devices. As you may recall, in spring 2019, our team announced an internally engineered electro-optic polymer material for lower-power consumption communications. Initial tests have gone very well and the material continues to look promising for meeting our performance and reliability targets. More importantly, our prospective customers are highly encouraged by our ability to engineer electro-optic polymers with specifically desired properties optimized by application. Furthermore, our anticipated ability to engineer organic polymers to suit specific applications is a key differentiator compared to inorganic materials. Due to these expected capabilities, we have seen an uptick of interest from several new markets outside optical communications, including automotive LIDAR, display/scanning, AI accelerators and quantum optic applications. As a technology platform company, this capability is essential, and we will continue to innovate while aggressively building out our intellectual property portfolio with new technological achievements.

Enhanced Investor Relations Initiatives
In 2020, we are expanding our commitment to the capital markets and to Lightwave Logic shareholders through enhanced investor relations initiatives to increase market awareness of our successes. To spearhead these efforts alongside the executive team, we have engaged investor relations specialists MZ Group to lead a comprehensive, strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets. Augmenting our operational achievements with a strong capital markets awareness campaign with MZ will elevate our institutional profile with the investment community, while driving growth and building long-term shareholder value.

MZ is completing a thorough revitalization of our investor presentation, which will we completed shortly and we encourage all investors to review it once it is posted on the website. We also plan to conduct a comprehensive revamp of our corporate website.

In 2020, we will expand our presence at key investment conferences and in non-deal roadshows with institutional investors worldwide. We will provide additional details on these initiatives as appropriate, and believe our increased interface with the capital markets will benefit all Lightwave Logic stakeholders.

Final Thoughts
Industry analysts and potential customers expect the next several years to bring continued growth in the global photonics components and fiber optic transceivers markets. We believe the breakthroughs we've experienced with our technology platform could not have come at a better time as we focus the year ahead on advancing and forging relationships with some of the largest players in the industry across every level of the value chain.

As we look ahead, we will continue to interact with key players in the industry, while focusing on the key milestones we believe are most important to our business. Among these milestones in the sales cycle are collecting more stability, reliability and performance data for our packaged modulators, continued innovation of our materials, delivering packaged prototypes to potential customers, gathering feedback from those potential customers, meeting specifications the customers require, and finally, design-in and sale of our devices.

In conclusion, our goal is to forever enable and revolutionize the data transmission landscape and the future of several industries. I am proud of our team's accomplishments in 2019 and excited about our continued execution into 2020. On behalf of the entire team at Lightwave Logic, we would like to thank our fellow shareholders for their continued support. Together, we look forward to creating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.

Sincerely,

Michael Lebby
Chief Executive Officer

Energy savings drive Photonic IC roadmap to polymers

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG) is pleased to report that energy-saving polymer technology is highlighted in the recently published Integrated Photonics Systems Roadmap – International (IPSR-I). This important industry roadmap was defined jointly by a global network of Industrial and R&D partners. The roadmap model is based on the highly successful roadmap that has enabled the CMOS industry to navigate Moore's Law for decades.

Under pressure to produce improvements in Cost, Size, Weight and Power consumption (CSWaP) simultaneously, the photonics industry is using the roadmap to define how multiple technology and systems requirements can be coordinated to enable faster developments. These improvements are required to control the total cost of ownership for fundamental datacenter and sensor infrastructure that is under stress by rapid growth of data, compute and sensing.

"This roadmap highlights exactly the applications that we are tackling, as well as the challenges we and our counterparts around the world are facing," said Michael Lebby, CEO of Lightwave Logic. "Our differentiation lies in the use of polymers for high-speed active devices." Polymers are on the roadmap for both passive interconnect and active devices due to unique benefits they bring to meet the current and future challenges.

The roadmap is needed to create a common platform that spans today's most urgent need for high-volume low-mix datacom transceivers to the rapidly emerging high-mix market of Industrial Internet of Things ((I)IoT) sensors. Unlike for CMOS, the challenge is to span a wide variety of photonic technologies which each contribute specific functions. For many applications, increasing the speed of devices provides reduced cost, size and weight—but tends to increase power consumption. Hyperscale datacenters are constrained in growth by their power consumption.

"The big problem across multiple applications is that as device speeds go up, the power consumption skyrockets. If you look at the called-out requirements for datacom and, in a completely different section of the roadmap document, the requirements for RF applications, they are both asking for a roadmap to 100 GHz at low voltages that can come directly from CMOS," said Lebby. "That commonality is where you see the incredible power of an industry roadmap."

Lightwave Logic is aiming squarely at the 100 GHz, direct-drive target with a proprietary material with high electro-optic activity, meaning it can operate with very low voltage: a truly green low energy solution. Earlier this year, the company had announced a breakthrough that doubled the electro-optic activity of its material. This highly stable active polymer material enables extremely high-speed and low power optical modulators that convert data from electric signals into optical signals for transmission over optical fiber or free space.

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.

Slides from the presentation can be found at LINK to LWLG presentations. For more information about Lightwave Logic, please visit the Company's website at lightwavelogic.com.

Lightwave Logic Makes the Case for its Energy-saving Designer Molecules at ECOC 2019

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.

Zoro99 — 1/11/2019 12:26:45 PM

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.

Michael Lebby

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.

Lightwave Logic, Inc. CEO Sends Open Letter to Shareholders

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
