Optical Dynamics
Liquid nano - polymer coating systems

Optical Dynamics Corporation (ODC) has been involved in nanotechnology research since 2000 and successfully launched a consumer product in 2005 utilizing nanoparticles incorporated into thin films less than 100 nm thick. The nanoCLEAR coatings are nanomaterial / polymer based liquid chemistries that are targeted at optical applications. A commercial version of this product is currently in use for ophthalmic optical elements. This technology was a winner of the 2006 Nanotech Briefs Nano50 award. These coatings can be tailored to increase transmission or reflectance from the UV to the IR spectrum.

Optical Dynamics proprietary chemistries provide a high degree of control over the refractive index and they have advantages in cost, ease of use, and curing speed and durability over conventional thin film coatings. Incorporating nanoparticles into the polymer matrix allows the refractive index and the mechanical properties to be engineered for specific applications including optical thin films, without affecting the clarity of the coating. By utilizing metal oxides with refractive indices ranging from 1.46 to 2.7 (with Mohs hardness of up to 9) unique coatings are available in a wide range of refractive indexes. Our engineers and scientists have extensive experience in thin film multi-layer coating development.

Optical Dynamics will develop a system to meet your unique requirements using proven nano based thin film coating materials. Our expertise also includes the deposition of thin films through spin coating technologies. We also have a highly flexible, pc based, coating system that can be used to develop and apply multi layer thin film coatings. These systems are for sale for use in research and small scale manufacturing applications

Optical Dynamics has a large body of knowledge and an IP portfolio including nearly 150 patents.

We are ready to help you with materials, process and hardware development in a rapid product development environment.

The term "Nanotechnology" refers to the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. At the nano-scale, the optical properties of materials differ in fundamental and valuable ways from the properties of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter.

KiloLambda's mission is to create improved materials, structures, devices, and systems that exploit these new optical properties.KiloLambda has two core proprietary technologies, on which its product development is based.

The characteristics of these technologies are:

* Threshold based light blocking
* Threshold based light limiting

With a diverse and powerful team of optics professionals with a wide variety of expertise, the company focuses on the common goal of providing timely, high-quality innovative products to the market.

KiloLambda is concentrating efforts on those markets where applying its technology is expected to yield the highest profitability. Today, the company provides solutions to the telecommunication market as it migrates to all optical fiber, wavelengths switched network and the market for laser protection filters which consist mainly of defense, industrial and medical applications. KiloLambda plans to further extend its technology so it will meet the needs of additional and bigger markets: the semiconductor market towards its imminent migration to silicon photonics and the cameras, windows, mirrors and eyeglasses markets with their unsatisfied needs for better sunlight screening and filtering.

KiloLambda's relative advantage is in developing and providing innovative and unique solutions to optical power control needs. Each of the company's products is usually one component or subsystem, integrated with others. Accordingly, KiloLambda is striving to form strategic alliances , that is, arrangements covering joint product development, production and marketing , with producers of the integrated product.

The partnership KiloLambda formed in 2003 with world leader Molex ("MOLX") represents the type of alliances KiloLambda aspires to form in the future in other markets. Molex and KiloLambda were successful in winning external governmental research and development funding for a joint product development project, in which KiloLambda's novel technology will be incorporated in Molex connector products. The resulting family of products, jointly owned by the two companies, will function as safety devices in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Metro infrastructure applications. Molex capabilities in mass production will drive the manufacturing costs to a minimum resulting in affordable end user prices for the products. Initial sales through the worldwide marketing and sales organization of Molex, are expected by the end of 2007.

KiloLambda considers its optical power control technology to be the main source of its future business success. While pursuing its goals regarding the core power control technology, KiloLambda is engaging in immediate revenue generating activities, based on the company's peripheral technological achievements.

Today these activities include development of Optical Proximity Sensors and High Energy Lasers for defense applications. Revenues from these activities will support KiloLambda's main effort regarding its core technology in face of diverse possible conditions of capital and product markets.

SARFUS is a new quantitative surface imaging technique based on the association of 2 elements:
- A conventional optical microscope (reflection mode, white light illumination) in SARFUS configuration.
- Special sample supporting plates called Surfs.

Surfs are special supporting plates with exceptional optical properties. The sample deposition process is the same as on a conventional glass slide. There are two main kinds of Surfs. The most common one is Standard Surf, which has a glass-mimicking surface (Silica). Hydrophobic Surfs have the same characteristics as Standard Surfs, except that an organic surface treatment has been carried out, making them hydrophobic.

SARFUS increases the axial sensitivity of optical microscopy by a factor 10 to 100, allowing direct visualization of nanometric films and detection of nanometer-sized isolated objects. It is easy to use, non invasive and it allows real-time studies.

On top of our visualization solution, we have developed a software solution permitting to measure sample thickness in the 1-50nm range based on our calibration standard. It is complemented by a 3D display software which gives direct access to the sample topography and allows measuring the local thickness of ultra-thin films.

Thus, it paves the way towards advances in various fields, such as surface treatment and functionnalization, thin layers crystallization, supported membranes, wetting, Langmuir-Blodgett layers, biochips, biopolymers, nanotubes, Soft-lithography …
