TelAztec is structured around the design and fabrication of nanometer-scale microstructures with unique optical functionality. Specializing in microstructures that provide anti-reflection (AR) and color or polarization filtering, the TelAztec mission is to provide optical systems designers with options for enhancing the performance, lifetime, durability, or power handling capability of a window or optic by replacing conventional thin film coatings with a designed microstructure etched or replicated directly into the window or optic material. For most applications these benefits are achived at comparable or reduced costs. With the approach being one of developing application specific microstructure designs and processes that would subsequently licensed and transferred to larger manufacturing companies, TelAztec is equipped to produce prototype devices and to accommodate pilot or low volume manufacturing during a typical product proof of concept phase. The firm has already entered into license agreements for both AR and optical filter microstructures designed for applications such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), infrared sensors, high power lasers, advanced lithography systems, and passive optical filters.
