In July 2007, NanoOpto Corporation was acquired by Canadien firm API Nanotronics Corp. NanoOpto Corporation is applying proprietary nano-fabrication technology to the rapid design and high-volume manufacture of nano-optic devices for optical components and systems. The companyâs nano-meter scale optical function design capability combined with wafer-based manufacturing methods delivers optical components that allow more rapid prototyping, higher performance, and lower overall system cost. Both independently and with industry partners, NanoOpto uses its technology to produce superior versions of standard optical components and new classes of integrated optical subassemblies for both custom and general applications. NanoOpto Corp. is applying proprietary nano-optics and nano-manufacturing technology to design and make optical components for consumer electronics and potentially for optical systems and networks. Based on years of research, the company's technology allows orders of magnitude more rapid prototyping, higher performance, and lower overall system cost. Both on its own and with corporate partners, NanoOpto's strategy is to use subwavelength techniques to produce better conventional optical components and also to create new classes of integrated components
