In its earlier years, with the Founding President of the firm also on the faculty at Goergie Tech, PhosphorTech had close ties to Advanced Technology Development Center at thatinstiution. After successfully commercializing many SBIR-funded technologies, PhosphorTech has assumed a more independent role and with achieved some recognition in the fields of photonic semiconductors and novel nano-materials for energy-efficient applications. . The organiizing theme of the PhosphorTech is new photonic materials, nano-materials, and advanced technologies for energy-efficient applications (“Green Technologies”) to include solid state lighting and electronic imaging, greenhouse gas reforming into useful chemicals and solar fuels. The company's current nano-technologies also find a range of other applications including solar cells, sensors, biomedical, and water/air purification.
