Photonics Products
Our scientists have been advancing the technology of fast ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC) and their applications for more than twenty years. We were the first to sell FLCs commercially and we continue to develop and manufacture FLCs today.
Our photonics group carries out advanced FLC research and development. To facilitate FLC development, we have developed proprietary automated instrumentation capable of rapidly measuring key sets of material properties. We make and sell electronically controllable Photonics devices such as rotators, shutters, and other related devices primarily to researchers and product developers. These photonics devices are the building blocks for optical systems.

Photonics Products
Rotators
Rotators are the basis of all our photonics products. Our devices are electro-optical so they elicit an optical response with an electrical input. We make Polarization Rotators in a variety of aperture sizes and housing types. Our polarization rotators are highly reliable, have <100 microseconds one state transition time, 85% transmission, and a high contrast ratio.
Shutters
Our FLC-based electronic shutter eliminate the vibration typical in mechanical shutters. We make both standard Shutters and Video Shutters in a variety of aperture sizes and housing types. Our shutters are highly reliable, contain no moving parts, have <100 ms one state transition time, and a high contrast ratio.
Drivers
Our drivers designed to obtain maximum performance from our shutters and polarization rotators. We make two drivers:
