VadientOptics, an MBI tenant company that fabricates freeform gradient index nanocomposite optical elements, will present “Printing High Quality Optics” on Friday, May 29 as part of MBI’s noon seminar series.

Printing High Quality Optics
Metolius Room, Microproducts Breakthrough Institute
1110 NE Circle Blvd. – HP Corvallis Campus
(Directions to MBI)

Abstract
VadientOptics, a Voxtel company, is doing research in Corvallis in lab and office space at the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute (MBI). We have developed materials and processes under DARPA and NASA research contracts to develop the volumetric index of refraction gradient optics (VIRGO) process, using nanoparticles in polymers to print optics. This has involved the development of materials, equipment, and algorithms that produce a final, useful product. We will give an overview of this research in this seminar.

Speakers
Four members of the Vadient team will speak:
Dr. Sang-Ki Park
Dr. Charles Dupuy
Dr. Ngoc Nguyen
Paul Harmon
