Crystal Research Inc specializes in photonic polymers, polymer-based waveguide products, and novel polymer coatings for military as well as non-military applications. CRI develops advanced electro-optic materials and photonics devices. Their products integrate their novel electro-optic materials,photonics, holography, and electronics into systems that meet requirements for the optics, photonics, and fiber-optic communication markets.CRI's Ultra Thick Transmission Gratings (UTG) products provide a new grating platform technology for many important applications. Another CRI's technology is Electro-Optic Holograms (EOH), which can be electrically switched on-and-off through electro-optic effect. These holograms are formed by recording volume phase grating or hologram in a polymer dispersed liquid crystal mixture.
