Magnolia Optical Technologies, Inc. primarily organized around optical technologies that involve the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared part of the spectrum. These technologies are developed for use in advanced military sensors, optical systems, and commercial applications for solar cells. The firm's innovations in materials, devices and modeling take advantage of quantum effects in nanostructured materials to enable novel device concepts that can radically enhance the operation of traditional semiconductor devices. Magnolia Optical is also developing novel bolometer using nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotube and graphene, multi-color focal plane arrays using HgCdTe and novel IR detectors using III-V Type-II strained layer superlattice and nanomaterial enabled photovoltaic devices.
