Gold Sponsors The Lehigh Nanotech Network (LNN) was founded by Lehigh in 2004. The LNN is an organization of business, education, and government that facilitates the understanding and commercialization of nanotechnology, bringing members together to learn about applications, research, funding opportunities, and educational initiatives. It enables members to connect to the latest technologiesand initiatives and to others that are active in developing, applying, and commercializing nanotechnology. The LNN supports education and outreach to foster student interest. Membership is open to any company or organization with interest in these areas. The LNN’s mission is to maintain a strong, connected nanotechnology cluster in an opportunity-rich networking environment to advance nanotechnology business, partnerships, and workforcedevelopment. We serve as a forum for nanotechnology researchers, providers, and users in business, education, and government that facilitates the commercial application of nanotechnology through exchanging ideas, creating research partnerships, and connecting value chains. The LNN will be changing its name to the Lehigh Emerging Technologies Network (LETN) in 2015.

Gold Sponsors Applied Research & Photonics, Inc. is the industry leader in CW terahertz (THz) technology. ARP’s proprietary technology offers a wide THz spectral range and highest power terahertz source. APR’s products include nanoscanning, 3D sub-surface imager and time-domain spectrometer, among others. These instruments are used for early detection of skin cancer, transdermal drug delivery, semiconductor wafers’ defect inspection and all kinds of molecular characterizations. ARP provides custom instruments to address many critical needs of the industry and academic research. APR also provides services on a contract basis, to fit your needs and budget. ARP’s terahertz reflective interferometer (TRI) is used for non-destructive, non-contact measurement of paint/coating layers, multi-layered materials’ thicknesses and hidden corrosions. APR can help you to solve many characterization problems. ARP is interested for developing collaboration with industrial and academic partners. Please contact ARP today: 470 Friendship Road, Suite 10, Harrisburg PA 17111 USA. Phone: +1-717-623-8201, Fax: +1-717-566-1177, E-mail: info@arphotonics.net, Web: arphotonics.net

The Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (CAMN) at Lehigh University supports university researchers and companies in need of expertise, laboratory resources, or partnering. Lehigh’s Nanocharacterization Laboratory contains one of the largest and best-equipped electron microscopy facilities in the U.S., with a diverse collection of scanning and transmission instruments for imaging and analyzing at the nanoscale. Lehigh is the only university with two aberration corrected electron microscopes, capable of sub-nanometer imaging. These include the world's highest resolution X-ray analytical microscope, designed for nanoscale analysis and imaging. The facility also houses a focused ion beam instrument, an electron beam lithography system, and an electron microprobe. Specimen preparation facilities include a Gatan PIPS, plasma cleaner, chemical jet polishers, dimplers, wire saws, diamond cutting wheels and a comprehensive metallographic suite. Extensive software for digital image acquisition, manipulation, and data analysis is also available. Access for external users is available through the Industry Liaison Program.

Gold Sponsors The Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (CPN) is a merger of two previous Lehigh University, namely Center for Optical Technologies (COT) and Sherman Fairchild Center for Solid State Studies (SFC). The merged center CPN inherits the faculty, students, facilities, resources, reputation, history, and legacy of both COT and SFC. The success of the former Center leaderships in establishing both COT and SFC as the leading programs in photonics and solid state electronics, respectively, has provided a solid foundation to advance further in the science and technologies of photonics and nanoelectronics. The CPN consists of 15 highly research active core faculty members with relevant expertise in photonics and nanoelectronics, and more than additional 15 affiliated faculty members. Facility enhancement is also part of the CPN’s charge. Significant research activities exist within the CPN, and current strengths include III-Nitride and compound semiconductor technologies, high speed and power transistors, terahertz sources, organic based electronics and photonics, bio-related materials and devices, nonlinear optics, plasmonic and metamaterials, flexible photonics technologies, glass and ferroelectric photonics, fiber based technologies, and carbon nanotubes. The CPN welcomes collaborations and discussions on possible opportunities and research activities by our faculty. We look to partnering with the best researchers in other partner institutions, government laboratories, and industry. Along with our sister research center, the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, we represent Lehigh's deep capabilities and commitments in advancing science and technologies from materials up to system level applications.

Custom Processing Services, Inc. is a contract manufacturer (based in Reading, PA) which produces nanoparticles through both wet and dry grinding methods.
