Lumera awarded new development contract.Lumera Corporation, a majority owned subsidiary of Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVIS MVIS Microvision Inc (Redmond, Washington) ), announced recently that it has been awarded a new development contract with a major supplier to U.S. government agencies. In addition, the company announced that it has finalized a statement of work for a potential contract with a U.S. government agency. Final details are now being negotiated and completion of the contract is expected soon. Details of the contract and statement of work are confidential. "This new work relates to advanced optical modulator An optical modulator is a device in which a signal-controlled element is used to modulate a beam of light. See:
Devices that serve to vary some property of a light beam. The direction of the beam may be scanned as in an optical deflector, or the phase or frequency of an optical wave may be modulated. for commercial applications," said Tom Mino, Lumera's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"These new efforts are the direct result of our ability to provide a tunable range of electro-optic chromophores and polymers." Lumera is developing and commercializing a new class of electro-optic materials and devices that utilize proprietary polymer compounds and processing technologies. These new devices and materials are expected to dramatically improve performance and reduce costs of electro-optic components for telecommunications, phased array antenna systems, optical computing, optical signal processing and optical interconnects. The properties of these materials are expected to enable new applications in other technologies such as organic light emitting diode See LED. displays, low k dielectrics and coating materials. |
