Soluxra LLC was founded to commercialize technologies developed at the University of Washington in the laboratory of Professor Alex Jen. The company works with device designers, meeting their needs for performance and stability in the fields of electro-optic materials and organic electronics. Soluxra's electronic materials development is focused on integrated systems that optimize device performance. Their materials systems are designed to greatly enhance the performance of flexible organic photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, and display devices, making them more efficient and capable of meeting the demands of device designers. Soluxra's electro-optic polymers have superior properties, enabling high speed data processing and communications in next-generation devices. These materials have low optical loss and tunable refractive index range; are solution- and/or imprinting- processable; have exceptional compatibility with suitable cladding polymers, silicon slot waveguides, and/or other materials and substrates in the system; have excellent thermal and mechanical properties over broad temperature range. They are CMOS process compatible and adaptable for large-scale photonic integration. Applications for this technology include: switches, modulators, optical chip-to-chip interconnects, couplers, sensors and waveguides.
