This Small Innovation Research (SBIR) project will bring to market a low power, point of use (PoU) water disinfection system designed to retrofit into existing passive (non-germicidal) filtration systems. This project will use ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs) along with a novel and proprietary flow cell design, resulting in PoU water disinfection.

 Integration of Langmuir-Blodgett Quantum Dot Films Into Optoelectronic Device Heterostructures

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will drive the incorporation of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (SQD) into inorganic semiconductor optoelectronic devices.

 Dot Metrics' success was recently recognized by Dr. Tether, Director of the Defense Advance Research Project Agency in the 2005 awards ceremony. The company received the Award for Small Business Innovation Research for demonstrating a new method of introducing deep-green luminescent nanostructures into semiconductor materials for light emitting diodes. "The technology achieved by Dot Metrics will directly translate into solid-state lighting devices that are more weight- and power-efficient," explained Tether. "The technology will be part of a DARPA program to install innovative lighting systems on U.S. Navy vessels."
