Lightwave Test Results

Lightwave Logic, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: LWLG) (http://www.lightwavelogic.com/), a technology company focused on the development of electro-optic polymer materials for applications in high-speed fiber-optic telecommunications and optical computing, announced today an update on its current testing results.

The testing of the company's material is complex and requires numerous independent measurements necessary for commercialization. These initial tests may be divided into three general categories, including: Solubility (or Material Integration), Stability and Performance (or r33). Although all tests are not yet complete, results in the first two testing categories suggest that the company's material is well-suited for commercialization. Although performance (r33) testing has not yet been re-confirmed, previous test results indicated a 700% improvement over competitive technologies.
Lightwave Logic's Chief Technical Officer, David Eaton, explains, "Although the process has been delayed presumably due to end of year class scheduling, our preliminary results have been extremely positive, and we expect to produce our initial prototype devices in the short-term."

Two years ago the performance (r33) measurements from this material proved to be seven times the performance of the next highest performing competitive material. The company must, however, repeat r33 measurements to complete the proper testing protocol. The company will publish these results as soon as they become available. After completion of all testing and receipt of successful test results, Photon-X will begin fabrication of our initial prototype fiber-optic modulator.

Due to the time of year and university scheduling conflicts, the company has decided to have the final r33 testing conducted by Dr. C.C. Teng (co-inventor of the testing procedure), after which the University of Arizona will be used to confirm the results and complete additional tests to be used in a commercial device. Photon-X, our partner who has been very cooperative in this process, will also aid in the testing.
