    Father and Son Among Inventors Recognized for Fleet Impact at Navy Patent Awards Ceremony

    DAHLGREN, Va. - Dr. Kevin Boulais uses liquid nitrogen in a molecular beam epitaxy system to create photo capacitors for light guide film applications at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Boulais - among 32 inventors honored at the NSWCDD Patent Awards ceremony on July 19, 2018 - was recognized for his work on a patented innovation called, 'Light Guide Film Control for Optically Tunable Metamaterials'. Dr. Francisco Santiago and Dr. Charles Mannix were also honored for their work on the invention which pairs light guide films with photo-sensitive or photo-reactive metamaterials. The warfighter is provided with an optically controlled electrical element having a wide range of uses. For example, the invention will secure communication without the communicator having to transmit and it will network electronics, sensors, and radiating elements in a similar fashion. The light guide film will also improve flexible electronics. In other words, there will be "no copper interconnects to break," said Boulais. (U.S. Navy photo by D. Kevin Elliott/Released)
