NanoOpto Chairman Dr. Stephen Chou to Deliver Keynote Address at International Workshop on Nanoimprint Lithography at Sweden’s University of Lunds

Renowned Nano-Technology Researcher Invited As Headline Speaker

Somerset, New Jersey. January 15, 2002. NanoOpto Corp., which is applying proprietary nano-optics and nano-manufacturing technology to design and make components for optical networking , announced today that its Chairman, Dr. Stephen Y. Chou, will deliver the keynote presentation at the International Workshop on Nanoimprint Lithography at the University of Lunds, Sweden on January 16-17, 2002.

NanoOpto’s technology is based on 20 years of multi-million dollar research in nano-optics and nano-manufacturing technology conducted by Dr. Chou, who is also an Elgin Professor of Engineering at Princeton University. Dr. Chou, a world-renowned figure in nano-technology and nano-engineering (and the inventor of nano-imprint lithography), has conducted research that has resulted in the invention of various subwavelength optical elements and proprietary nano-manufacturing technology that can mass-produce nano-engineered optical components on a chip.
