Phoebus Optoelectronics focuses on the custom design and commercialization of advanced light and radiation controlling and detecting materials and devices based on the science of metamaterials - a new class of advanced composite materials and devices that exhibit cutting-edge light controlling behavior. Using physical phenomena from fields ranging from metameterials, metasurfaces, photonic crystals, and plasmonics, the firm has the capabilities to design devices that exhibit a negative index of refraction, high permeability, light trapping and harvesting, photon sorting, and phase control. These devices operate throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to microwave. Phoebus' technology is designed for a variety of applications, including: advanced wavelength and polarization filtering, tunable optical components, advanced solar cells and other renewable energy devices, high resolution infrared imaging systems, beam forming and steering, and chemical and biological toxin sensors. The firm has worked with DoD, NASA, and NSF, as well as major defense contractors such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Ball Aerospace. Phoebus has ongoing collaborations with several academic institutions, including Clarkson University's Center for Metamaterials (CfM), Cornell University, the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), and the City University of New York (CUNY).
