Nov. 22, 2005 – Lumera Corp. announced that it has signed a contract with the Pennsylvania State University Electro-Optics Center for development of polymer based electro-optic modulators for the detection of passive radiation ranging from 30Ghz to 10THz.
Lumera will deliver materials and modulators to the center under the contract, which was valued at approximately $400,000. Lumera says its polymeric electro-optic materials show advantages for broadband RF signal transmission, up to the terahertz region, due to their ability to achieve large bandwidth with low driving voltages.
