The Optical Materials Department focuses on extending the performance of optical sensor systems and assuring their survival in aggressive environments. Historically, the department has emphasized highly durable and special function optical materials, as well as optically active microtextured surfaces and coatings. These materials are applied as anti-reflective surfaces, cladding for aircraft sensor transparencies, optical hardening layers, transparent conductors, and organic light emitting diodes.

We have recently initiated development of sensor systems for explosives and chemical agents, and lead a large research effort on biomimetic optical lens systems. Advanced optical thin film coating capabilities enable research and limited-rate initial production, supported by extensive spectroscopic and microscopic characterization equipment and expertise.
