I've been "riding the wave" since December of 2004. It's nice to see word spreading and interest increasing as evidenced by the increase in the stock price, volume and "chatter."
I wasn't involved in investing when INTC And AMD got going, and I don't consider LWLG to be a "chip" company. Their polymers may be used in chips and other devices, but I still think of them as a polymer company with a potentially revolutionary polymer on their hands.
Relevant information on their business and target markets from the 10K filed on 4/10:
Our Business
Lightwave Logic, Inc., is developing a new generation of advanced electro-optic plastics that convert high-speed electronic signals into optical (light) signals. Electro-optic material is the core active ingredient in high-speed fiber optic telecommunication systems. Utilizing our proprietary technology, we are in the process of engineering advanced electro-optic plastics which we believe may lead to significant performance advancements, component size and cost reduction, ease of processing, and thermal and temporal stability. We believe that polymer materials engineered at the molecular level may have a significant role in the future development of commercially significant electro-optic related products.
Our Target Markets
Our proprietary electro-optic plastics are designed at the molecular level for potentially superior performance, stability and cost-efficiency and we believe may have the potential to replace more expensive, lower-performance materials used in fiber-optic ground, wireless and satellite communication networks. We believe our electro-optic plastics may have broad applications in civilian and military telecommunications and advanced computational systems.
Potential future applications may include:
(i) telecommunications;
(ii) backplane optical interconnects;
(iii) entertainment;
(iv) medical applications;
(v) satellite reconnaissance;
(vi) navigational systems;
(vii) radar applications; and
(viii) all-optical transistors. |
