The project brings a $900,000 investment for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) project, along with an additional $1.41 million in matching funds from AIM Photonics industrial members.


“With this DoD’s investment, AIM Photonics is harnessing the skill and know-how of Rochester’s top photonics and sensor researchers at the University of Rochester to take this technology out of the lab and into real-world applications and devises," Schumer said in a statement. "AIM is focused on leapfrogging the U.S. ahead of overseas competition to corner the market on the next-generation photonic technology that will drive smarter, better, and faster devices and technologies in the decades to come."
The University of Rochester leads the partnership, which includes the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy Research Lab, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Analog Photonics, the University of Tulsa, PhoeniX, the University of California-Santa Barbara, and OndaVia.
