Dear Friends,

We hope 2016 is proving to be a positive year for you all so far. We have certainly started off the year with a whirlwind of activity, attending multiple exhibitions and launching a new product within the space of just a few months.

In February, at Photonics West, we were honored for Diamond PureOptics to be named a finalist in the Prism Awards. The following week, at SPIE Advanced Lithography, we introduced the potential performance gains that this exciting new optical material offers high power laser and EUV lithography applications.

More recently we exhibited at Photonix Japan and presented at EDI CON China on our diamond heat spreaders for thermal management of GaN HEMT hotspots. We also launched our latest electrochemical wastewater treatment technology reactor, Diamox, after a successful pilot program exhibited tremendous results in treating varied types of highly contaminated wastewaters. Read more on this exciting technology later in this newsletter.

In May we were also honored to participate at Quantum Europe in Amsterdam, where we showcased our nano-engineered synthetic diamond and its application to quantum information processing – below we introduce one of our Principal Scientists working with research partners in this emerging field.
