Why did he buy if he knew it was years away?????
Possibly true. At that time, however, it was impossible to know what the ground truth actually was. You had Lebby, Proto and many others. touting Lightwave’s commercialization was imminent and ready to roll. Remember deal time, deal time it’s here?
I suspect GP suddenly crows about selling at 15 because he wants to elevate his credibility as his credibility has been questioned for at least the three years I have read this board. With elevated credibility I think he believes his scam messages will have more of an affect.
They should be embarrassed at the dam meeting
was it you who retired early?
to then spend all that time on a board that sucks...
think about that....
total BS, hitting 20 was the blink of an eye, here's the VWAPS that tell the TRUTH
Here's the FACTS on LWLG trading, the VWAPS don't lie like the Shorts
Historical LWLG Price Data

I should have sold every dam share I own on the big run . Lessons learned
Guessing ??? Maybe stop guessing and start telling the truth ????
And bring some value and bs everyday !!!!
Probably you will be in the audience of the one man show, laughing with jokes you dont understand ….
The joker !!
The shorts have been making a killing since we hit 20. Imagine shorting LWLG at 20, 15,10 etc. Those shorts have covered by now.
Can you imagine that nobody cares what you say or think ??? Can you ???
As we true longs have our strategy of investing ???? Can you ???
Nobody gives a f*** what you believe !!!
But ….
Tell me ? I can almost wanted to add ‘ honestly ‘ … sorry for that …
Tell me ? Why do you spent hours each day on a board telling stupid things on a stock you dont own ??? Tell me ???
Because you tell bs, you are short and tell lies !!!!
But I must say you are funny and more funny every day …..
The joker !!!
I am guessing the flight cancellations have started today. By next week the AGM will be held at a gas station nearby. For entertainment X will show the awestruck guests how to skin and eat a squirrel. Proto will host a copy&paste section for the challenged and the Belgians will give advice on how to make hundreds of millions while your P&L goes into the abyss. Thrilling stuff and the lunch will be catered by J&M Food Services. Marcelli will get the lab people to serve squirrel pau chicken and raccoon dumplings 6% off.
Good things coming to Colorado.
Imagine a strategy where you buy and hold for a reasonable amount of time, for a reasonable amount of return. I know its tough. It's not the strategy of buying a penny stock, holding for 20 years, and putting your head in the clouds and dreaming of ubiquity.
You must start a one man show !!!! I’m sure there is an audience for you !!!
You get more pathetic by the post !!
The joker !!
Awwwww, you're cranky. Time for your diaper to be changed and a nap.
Mister high level has spoken !!! Be aware investors, this is the level of the shorts !!!! Can you imagine their investment strategy ???
The joker !!!
I could but I dont !!!! Chief kindergarten is speaking !!! And you have comment on our Ceo, I think he’s having a laugh with you at this ver moment !!!!
The joker had spoken ;))
I could, but I won't, because this board sucks. I'll give ya a hint--one's a small cap biotech that starts with "a". It's not a penny stock, so no one here will be interested in it.
teddybear AGAIN FOR 10th TIME!!!! >>> I've called you and your bff out multiple times now to defend WHY anyone in their right mind would say TFLN will be the material that is the winner in Photonics!!! It is ABSURDLY stupid as those that would TOUT IT!!!!
here once again for you and marky boy, you guys MUST HAVE MISSED IT... AGAIN!!!!,
oh teddybear trying again to baffle them with your bullshit, along with a HIGHLY DISREPECTED JOURNALIST that Jose had to PUBLICLY SHAME AFTER THE YOUTUBE FEED WAS CUT OFF, but for PARTICIPANTS ON THE ZOOM MEETING it was heard LIVE!!!! Here's the TRUTH folks!!!!
TFLN? here worth another LQQk,
TFLN isn’t ready. Unless HyperLight drastically expanded their production line and figured out their stability issues, they aren’t able to supply the market.
Liobate. No. Luxtelligence and it’s customers. No. Lightium is the new guy. No, years away. Rapid Photonics. Who? Ori-Chip. Maybe if anyone. NanoLN…monopoly on TFLN wafers hence why Luxtelligence and Lightium exist. Eoptolink uses HyperLight’s PICs because their own Chinese suppliers can’t supply…and Eopolink isn’t selling. And why is that…go to the paragraph above.
“The volume will act as a barrier.” LOL for TFLN you mean Markie?

Hyperlight is showcasing its TFLN GOLD BOX modulator as their PRIZE DEVELOPMENT!!!
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Hyperlight is supposedly the #1 TFLN company in the world!!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
This is where LWLG was about 5 years ago!!!!
here's a sample meeting of a Google/Amazon/Nvidia etc CEO with their Chief Engineer of Photonics
CEO, so what do you think we should use for our true next-gen internet transmissions solution?
ENG, well we've been working hard to help you decide the BEST solution and here's what we've got, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, so then TFLN must have all those things we spoke about right? Is TFLN incredibly small so as to free up space in the Transceiver box so we don't have to implement Co-Packaged Optics any time within the next several generations?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers fit 120 devices in the same space TFLN fits only 8, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must be using the least power right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers is the ONLY solution operating at sub-1Volt that ELIMINATE the power hungry and expensive Driver Chip, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well then TFLN must have the lowest Optical Losses and will save us money on requiring less DSP usage right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers has MUCH LOWER Optical Losses, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok well TFLN must be SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries right?
ENG, well no, actually LWLG Polymers are SUPER COMPATIBLE with Standard Silicon Foundries and we are not sure whether TFLN can be "shoehorned in" to a Silicon Foundry PDK yet but there are quite a few companies trying to do that right now, but Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, ok, well I've heard that TFLN does not yet have a 200Gbs device capable of being mass produced at a large SiPh Foundry on 200mm Wafers?
ENG, sorry sir, NO they don't yet, but they are working really hard on that right now!!
CEO, what about LWLG Polymers, can they mass produce a 200Gbs device on 200mm Wafers at a large Foundry?
ENG, well YES sir, they just got done demonstrating perfect Open Eyes of that very device at OFC to MANY Tier1's along with Research Analysts, etc, it was VERY IMPRESSIVE indeed, I was there!!! BUT may I remind you, Mark L says TFLN is going to be the winner of all the materials out there
CEO, well I actually know Michael Lebby and I know of all his credentials in leadership of the Photonics Industry, but I really hadn't considered what you are telling me about Mark L telling everyone that TFLN is the way to go, interesting, well I've come to my decision
ENG, well did I convince you? Are you going with TFLN as Mark L says is going to be the winner?
CEO, no actually I'm going with Lebby/LWLG and YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Oh and one more thing, LWLG's technology has HEADROOM for at least a decade of future generations!!
TFLN does NOT!!!
Here from the 2023 ASM Lebby quoted a Foundry as saying the following "At our Foundry we are worried about an investment into TFLN, it may only be for one generation, but with (LWLG) Polymers our investment would be worthwhile and a better ROI"
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!!!
Post of the year.
The tour includes moving a laser light against a blank wall and watching the rabid cheerleaders chase it for fun and exercise.....many will have a heart attack...but the survivors do get the fireworks. No gifts. Gift giving is a one way street to Lebby/Marcelli only
So what happens if the gap is closed??
Down tot 3,45?
Name me 1 stock with a better risk/reward ratio
one
pretty good Ted. a little too close to the bone for the club, so you can expect the usual impotent blow-back.
at least you're having some fun.
Any long with a sizable position is trapped like a rat on a sinking ship. There’s not even enough liquidity here to dump 100,000 shares without sending the price crashing down 20%.
Trapped and praying for a miracle from the TROPE!
#scam
There is just zero interest. All these conferences and slide decks have done absolutely nothing. The industry knows this is years out if ever. If it were close and happening as the kool aid kids claim every techie and engineer would be piling into the stock and that simply is not happening.
Therefore it’s NOT HAPPENING!
#scam
Brutal day again ! The market isn’t even down much .
lovelwlg. for the lebbyites the tour will be seen as amazing, further evidence their leader is presiding
over a tech gold mine. a smile, a wink, a nod, the projection of confidence and optimism, they'll
depart as they came.
meanwhile, in the world where companies go into business with each other, the world where money is
made...
doesn't matter what anybody thinks, this puppy is primed.
Mr. Dishonest strikes again! You were on here daily telling people this was a scam and to sell at 60 cents. You were not a penny long, all one has to do is go back to 2021 and look at your posts.
TOP 5 REASONS TO BUY LIGHTWAVE:
1. The Thrill of the Unknown!
With Lightwave you never know where things stand. For every wink or claim of excitement there are dozens of unanswered questions. As the mystery unravels you'll have goosebumps with all the twists and turns, just like being on an screeming roller coaster!: Who saw the massive bonuses and director sales only months after being told they were in Foundries in 2021? Who knew that PDK's had a flip side that took another year to cook and still aren't done? Who expected deal after deal once the first one was announced - and on the very day of ASM?! How exciting! And we all STILL can't wait to hear who it was with!
2. Live the Life of Luxury!
Own one of the most expensive pre-commercial stocks on the entire market as a simple screening for market cap will show! Don't let the falling price fool you - it is still VERY expensive and you get to own it! Trading 9 times it's historical market cap and sporting one of the highest percentages of short ownership in the market, you'll feel like a real King or Queen with this shiny one! Ca-ching!
3. Fun in the Sun!
Trek on down to Florida to hang out with your fellow longs outside the iron gate to Mr Marcelli's beach house that he bought with his $2.6m cash bonus after the ASM 2021 surprise. Watch the Millionaire's Club play volleyball on his private beach. Mr Leonberger has a mean spike - it goes careening off of ML's noggin every time as he tries to block it with 2 wiggly fingers. What fun!
2. Make Friends and Influence People!
It's a true Dream Team. A more devoted group you'll not find in this stock. 15 years of denial creates a bond of togetherness and steely conviction like no other! True believers. You'll laugh together, drink wine together, and pray for relief from the endless pain together. Hearts will bond forever as you advance through the Higher Levels of Enlightenment. The Word is that when you reach the Top Level you'll know how to interpret the secret hand signals from the Great One Himself.
1. Making the World A Better Place!
Everyone knows of course that It's all for naught if we don't give back, right? And who better to give to than LPC - the guys that make it all happen year after year? These folks have been selling retail shares going on 12 years now, and they are very very happy. As is the Millionaire's Club too, of course, who knows just what to say and what not to say to keep people cutting and pasting THE DREAM day in day out. You truly will be living the dream when you help others do the same. May the Great One Bless You Forever and Ever. Amen.
Better be one hell of a tour with fireworks and parting gifts.
Pumpkin, you are so full of s--t. You were never long. You were posting bs all the way up, you stopped when it was around 15 and went away until it fell
not need to spend more words on you
Absolutely spartex,
"Lebby clearly said a few years ago (believe in Belgium) that plasmonics are more complicated/complex (likely means more expensive too) to make and not a good mass production product like he is working on in the Foundries"
History teaches us many things as to what one might expect in a competition of materials to become the next big thing.
Think Betamax vs VHS. Betamax produced a better visual experience. Sony was the only manufacturer as they wanted a monopoly. JVC behind VHS technology licensed it to numerous manufacturers of VCRs and tapes making it more widely available to the consumer market and less costly. It also helped that VHS tapes ran longer, better for movies.
Lightwave's polymers are easily integrated into CMOS manufacturing technologies making it theoretically available to most foundries and offer well known advantages regarding speed, power reduction and size.
Like VHS over Betamax, wider availability and lower cost was a winner. For LWLG that also will matter and on top of it all, polymers win out over competing materials for the desired next generation applications. Widespread use is inevitable.
MMs ? Hello ? Anybody home ? What's going on ? Are you guys not able to close that gap to $3.96 or what ? You can do better than that , no ? Chart dude, where are you ? ... C'mon let's go ... LOL
Tick Tock ... Tick Tock ... Tick Tock
Heading to $4,82

Seems like you played with money you can't miss
Done with ne...are you drunk? Lebby only Lebby is the reSON FRO THIS TERRIBLE STOCKPRICE not ME ASSHOLE
Nice. The Vulcan let you off the leash. Enjoy your day of freedom.
If we don't get news, they feel safe, taking it down. Stinks.
Didn’t they report about 17 million shares a few months ago?
No walk today. Weights today. Early game
I’ll buy you a beer. Just leave your hood at home
Have not had a count on Blackrock and Vanguard in quite some time. You add so much to the conversation here. Did Dr.Lebby put a muzzle on you when you two were out walking.
I’d advise you to run the chlorine higher in JM’s pool you bought him this season. You don’t want an algae outbreak occurring from all of the slimy insiders bathing in the water.
#scam
And your posts are enlightening. Stick to your bigotry. Your good at it
Great , now I have to look at the 3s again
Sell and move on, or talk to Vein and make a private board for the two of you where you can complain to each other as much as you want
Geez, now you are trying to sound all well informed and with it, but really actually silly, as all well informed Lightwave shareholders already know plasmonics are not going to be the big product to launch in the near term by numbers! lol.
Lebby clearly said a few years ago (believe in Belgium) that plasmonics are more complicated/complex (likely means more expensive too) to make and not a good mass production product like he is working on in the Foundries, and soon to be announced with big Deal(s)! Transceivers w/ Lightwave's Polymer slot (new innovative material, patented device/PIC for easy Foundry mass comm.), OrAnGe FrUiT, they will be the PLASTICS of the FUTURE! Hahahaha! 💯🚀🛸
Posters who have faded into oblivion with nonsense posts.
X,Tieprathy,Astro,Spartacus,Proto. Only positive working with this crappy stock price.

The need for Lightwave Logic’s proprietary electro-optic polymers is more evident than at any prior point in history, with internet infrastructure coming under increasing strain due to increased online activity. For example, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, leading platforms such as YouTube prevented high-definition (HD) streaming in Europe due to data throughput issues in existing internet infrastructure.
The Company’s current focus is on the datacom and telecommunications hardware supply chain for the 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps fiber optics communications market, seeking to integrate its proprietary materials into the devices that comprise key components in today’s internet infrastructure. Lightwave Logic’s unique value proposition, including ease of manufacture relative to traditional solutions, has driven several tier-1 and tier-2 potential strategic partners in the data and telecommunications markets to enter into non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with Lightwave Logic to evaluate its technology for use in their devices, validating the demand for the Company’s solution in the marketplace. The Company expects to introduce its technology into the commercial marketplace in the near future.
Lightwave Logic is a wholly U.S.-based company with in-house materials synthesis, device/package design, wafer fabrication and testing capabilities at its Englewood, Colorado headquarters.
Having the modulator and integrated circuit development in-house has informed the materials development direction and vice versa. This vertically integrated business model enables a superior platform by aligning the design for manufacturability from materials to complex circuits with the following benefits:
Materials are called electro-optic when they enable interactions between applied electric fields and light passing through them. Notably, they change the refractive index seen by the light with minimum loss. The result is an instantaneous and accurate conversion of an electrical signal to an optical signal. Optical signals are better for transmission over distance: an increasingly useful feature as digital signal speeds are now reaching the GHz and THz ranges and the corresponding electrical transmission distances are shrinking to meters and centimeters.
EO polymers are intrinsically superior in speed and sensitivity to electric field to traditional electro-optic materials such as Lithium Niobate, Indium Phosphide and Silicon. They are engineered materials, made by embedding a variety of specially designed electro-optic chromophore molecules into a wide range of standard host polymers.
Chromophores are complex, large molecules, on a scale akin to drug molecules. They are hyperpolarizable, meaning their electron clouds are easily pulled into a different shape by the applied electric field, changing their optical properties such as index of refraction.
The material is poled to become electro-optic by applying a strong electric field along with heat. The hot material is relatively soft, allowing the chromophore molecules suspended in the host polymer to align in the same direction (poling). Cooling the poled material after the molecules are in place traps them in their active state even after the poling field is removed.
Although the electrons in the material respond to any applied electric field, they remain tightly bound to the molecule. The response to an applied signal is almost instantaneous response and recovery– like that of a tight spring– unlike materials that involve much slower macroscopic movement of free electrons.
Another key difference from traditional crystalline materials is the performance of EO polymers continues to improve as chemists explore the almost unlimited design space. Combinations of chromophores and host polymers can be tailored for specific applications.
In addition to innovating the EO polymer materials, Lightwave Logic takes its technology platform to the next level by developing ancillary materials and processes. These elements are brought together and demonstrated in advanced high-speed optical modulators.
The polymer is spun onto silicon wafers and standard microfabrication techniques are used to deposit and pattern metal electrodes and optical waveguides.
One well-known optical modulator device is the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light output is changed by changing the relative phase between the two arms. One common trick to double the effect for the same available drive voltage is to drive the two arms in opposite directions (push-pull mode). Polymers have an interesting advantage over most other electro-optic materials which are crystalline. The direction of polymer’s electro-optic activity is entirely determined by the direction of the applied poling field. By poling the two arms of the Mach-Zehnder in opposite directions, the resulting device automatically has push-pull operation with a single applied signal.
Once the modulator chip is made, it is packaged for mechanical protection and also to ensure signal quality for electrical and optical connections.
Below is a polymer optical modulator with >60 GHz bandwidth packaged with high-speed electrical connectors and optical pigtails.
Inspired by the remarkable record of integrated microelectronics, the opto-electronics industry has great interest in developing photonic integrated circuits (PICS). Photonics refers to devices that manipulate photons—that is, light—rather than electrons.
Even the best individual devices can be made more functional by integrating many together. Integration has many benefits, the most notable being dramatic improvements in size and cost. Yet, photonic integration has only recently come into the spotlight. The primary applications for photonics used to require stand-alone, high performance components such as used for long-haul telecom.
Now, photonic integration has suddenly come into the spotlight as electronic interconnects struggle to keep up with speed increases of electronic chips. Photonics is being looked at to replace electronics in already highly integrated applications such as chip interconnect. Co-packaging of electronics integrated circuits (ICs) with photonic interconnect, considered unlikely a few years ago, is now viewed by many as inevitable. However, this requirement poses new challenges that are acknowledged as difficult and that new technologies will be required to meet them.
P2IC™ (Polymer Photonic Integrated Circuits) are ideally positioned to be one of these new technologies. Lightwave Logic’s devices are made using conventional wafer-scale processing such as used for microelectronics and therefore similarly capable of being integrated. In addition, the polymer microfabrication processes are compatible with other materials platforms such as Silicon Photonics and Indium Phosphide which are now starting to become more integrated. In particular, the Silicon Photonics ecosystem has recently accepted that its roadmap will include adding more and more materials, each for their specific benefits. EO polymers’ speed and voltage advantages are attractive additions to this ecosystem.
A fiber link sends data from a transmitter to a receiver through an optical fiber cable. Lightwave Logic’s technology can be used to make a data modulator, a central function of the transmitter.
Datacenters and high-performance computing (HPC) are two market segments that demand the very highest speed optical fiber communications. The datacenter fiber communications segment includes applications ranging from connections inside hyperscale datacenters to fiber links between datacenter campuses.
Optical fiber communication is the infrastructure that supports internet content through its entire lifecycle, between businesses, consumers and datacenters. Behind the scenes, massive amounts of data move between computer processors inside datacenters (or inside supercomputers) as content is generated. In addition to these intra-datacenter links, there are also significant datacenter interconnection links between big datacenters to provide flexible capacity and resilience – all of these represent significant addressable market segments for Lightwave Logic’s technology.
Modulator performance limits the speed of the transmitter, which in turn limits the data-carrying capacity of the entire fiber link. EO polymers have superior speed and sharply reduce the electrical power needed to operate the modulators.
Lightwave Logic estimates that in 2019, the total market for opto-electronic components used in the fiber optics market reached a value of ~$26 billion and is forecasted to grow to approximately $80 billion by 2030.
Above: Market forecasts for photonic (electro-optic) components and transceivers used in optical fiber communications. (Source: Oculi LLC)
The growth in the optical fiber communications market is driven by many factors, primarily:
The historic trend has been a migration from text to graphics, followed by still graphics to increasingly high-definition video. On the accessibility front, the introduction of 5G will enable low-cost mobile internet connections at the same, or higher speeds, as today’s home broadband. This trend continues today as users demand more data at all times.
Recently, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp increase in reliance on video-conferencing services, often replacing in-person meetings. As video conferencing becomes more commonly used, users will continue to demand faster response times to enable no-lag, real-time communications in full HD.
The benefits of EO polymers, such as low power usage, high speed, increased throughput and lower cost make them ideally suited for markets outside of communications as well, including in consumer, media, augmented reality/virtual reality, medical and industrial applications.
Developing, protecting and commercializing intellectual property is central to Lightwave Logic’s identity as a technology company. Lightwave Logic has over 50 U.S. and international patents and applications that are issued or pending.
These patents provide freedom of manufacture for the company’s electro-optic (EO) polymer materials systems and its optical device technology.
