Photonics Powerhouse / Organic Electronics: Larry Dalton

Photonics Powerhouse / Organic Electronics: Larry Dalton

on July 04, 2004

Larry Dalton is the pioneering researcher behind Lumera's electro-optic polymer technology. His homepage gives the following background on his work:

"Signal propagation and switching speeds in the electronic domain are inherently limited. One area where these limitations are seen clearly is in telecommunications, where bandwidth expansion is desperately needed. To overcome these barriers, we must enter a new computing and communications revolution-this time based on photonics. Photonics plays some crucial and complementing roles to electronics in many application domains. Examples of successful use of photonics can be found in broadband communications, high-capacity information storage, and large screen and portable information display. As demands for information bandwidth increase, information photonics is becoming more and more important in every aspect of today’s technology-driven society...New and improved polymeric materials were found to show promises in generating, processing, transmitting, detecting, and storing light signals."

Materials & Devices for Information Technology Research (MDITR STC) has the following articles about the work of Larry Dalton:

Larry Dalton, like Tom Furness, makes the rest of us regular folks seem like unfrozen cavemen.
