This $250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program aims to develop a novel nanolattice material with a low refractive index and high mechanical stiffness for integration into photonic waveguides for augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications.
The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year grant include: (1) optimizing the optical and mechanical properties of the nanolattice material, (2) developing high-yield integration processes to embed the nanolattice material into photonic waveguides, and (3) demonstrating scalable manufacturing and benchmarking throughput with industry partners. If successful, this project will enable the commercialization of nanolattice materials to support the growing AR/VR industry's demand for more efficient, higher-performance wearable devices.
