Boulder Nonlinear Systems focuses on research and development of custom light control solutions, with more than 25 years of experience in delivering practical devices and systems to government, academic and commercial partners. This includes non-mechanical beam steering and modulation devices based on next-generation liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) spatial light modulators and liquid crystal polarization gratings. The firm specializes in two core technologies: liquid crystal on silicon and liquid crystal polarization gratings. Prior research has been sponsored by the DoD, NASA, NSF and NIH, as well as contracts from industry leaders and prime defense contractors. BNS has worked with aerospace sensors and imagers, medical components, tools for fundamental biology, volumetric displays, data storage, basic science research, and defense systems. BNSs liquid crystal devices are constructed in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lafayette, Colorado. This advanced Class 10 clean room allows us to maintain the most demanding standards necessary for producing high-quality optical components
