Spun out of research conducted at Princeton University on meta-materials, Etaphase Inc. develops optical processing devices (photonic integrated circuits) that are used in materials for the Internet infrastructure. The company's technology also can help solar panels capture and convert more energy in photovoltaic devices. The company's high performance filters can provide precisely tuned data and image communications and processing for applications in displays, communications links, power transfer, and imaging systems. The technology offers passive and dynamic tunability, and have applications including infrared, visible, ultraviolet, terahertz, and microwave ranges of the spectrum. Lastly, Etaphase is pursuing applications of its technology for the paint, ink, and dye markets.
