Dr. Mary Potasek will be presenting “Engineered Nanostructures Exhibiting Enhanced Optical Nonlinearity”, at the Quantum Dots, Particles, and Nanoclusters section of Photonics West 2009 in San Jose, CA.
08/08 Simphotek awarded STTR Phase II contract
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research has awarded Simphotek Inc. a two-year STTR Phase II contract to develop innovative optical CAD software. Such software is needed to greatly reduce the time and money required to design new optical materials and devices. For example, new optical materials are desired by the Air Force in order to protect personnel and sensors from intense laser beams. The completed Phase I effort demonstrated the feasibility of designing optical CAD software that divides the computation of complicated light-matter interactions into a series of simple computational modules or blocks. In Phase II, prototype computer software based on this modular approach will be developed, tested and validated by comparison to experimental results. The new software will have a general purpose computational algorithm and a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows material and experimental input parameters to be easily modified.
06/08 Simphotek receives an Incubator Seed Fund Grant from the NJCST
The New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology (NJCST) has awarded Simphotek Inc. a Incubator Seed Fund Grant to enhance the company’s intellectual property and to speed the development of a simulation software prototype, and a STTR/SBIR Bridge Grant.
08/07 Simphotek awarded STTR Phase I contract
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research has awarded Simphotek Inc. a nine-month STTR Phase I contract to investigate new methods for computer simulation of optical materials. The goal of the Phase I effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of designing optical CAD software that divides the computation of complicated light-matter interactions into a series of simple computational modules or blocks. This modular approach can greatly simplify computer modeling of light-material interactions.
