...InnovaLight Inc. wants to help. The company's process for reducing silicon to nanosize, light-sensitive crystal dots could revolutionize solar energy and lighting. The start-up, which just moved to Santa Clara from St. Paul, Minn., claims it will be the first to market with a silicon nanoparticle solvent--silicon "ink"--that would mean lower-cost printing of silicon nanoparticles on polymer sheets. That, in turn, would mean lower-cost solar energy because nanosize silicon is a more efficient converter of solar energy to electricity than previously used materials. It could also mean a nanoparticle light "bulb" that would...
...InnovaLight is exploiting the work of Brian Korgel at the University of Texas in Austin, a board member, to create nanoparticles of uniform size. The firm already tunes its fluid-stored silicon nanoparticle mix to capture everything from infrared to ultraviolet and the visible spectrum in between. Conversely, it can infuse the fluid into thin, flexible panels that emit a controlled range of light--2-nanometer particles for blue, 10 nanometers for orange. Blending particle sizes produces white light...
...InnovaLight CEO Burke, whose roots are in sales, marketing and physics, was a fast riser at AT&T and its Lucent spin-off. In 2000 he joined an optics firm called OMM Inc. that tanked with the telecom sector in 2003. Stints with a venture-capital firm and optical- component maker Bookham Inc. followed. Burke's former boss Phil Chapman, now CFO with Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. in San Diego, calls him "fearless." Fearlessness will serve Burke well now. "You don't want to be partnering with a customer who expects this to be simple," says another of Burke's former...
