3DIcon Corporation's (OTCBB: TDCP), CSpace(TM) 3D imaging system has received praise and acknowledgement as a groundbreaking technology in the field of 3D imaging from scientific and industrial technology leaders.
3DIcon recently announced an historic breakthrough in the development of 3D display technologies with the invention of a working prototype of its proprietary 3D display system CSpace™. The CSpace display technology is capable of rendering high-resolution, 360-degree, three-dimensional images without any viewing aids. CSpace is the first system of its kind that has no mechanical moving parts and is also scalable.
“CSpace, from 3DIcon, is breakthrough technology for the next generation of 360°, multi-view, high-resolution, real-time volumetric imaging,” stated David Klugh, Vice President Surveillance and Security Solutions, ARIA International Incorporated. “I can definitely envision extensive applications for CSpace with the Department of Defense, especially the Navy Combat Information Center, and in situational-awareness applications. CSpace could be the image engine for homeland security scanning of cargo, luggage, and vehicles at border crossings. Beyond military applications, I can certainly envision its potential in 3D marketing kiosks and in medical imaging.”
ARIA International Incorporated is a premier provider of special surveillance and communications solutions to military and government agencies. It recently licensed the exclusive rights to CSpace in select military and homeland security applications.
Dr. Hans Jenssen commented, "As a materials expert, I can say that the creation of a static image space is a major breakthrough in display engineering and a core competitive advantage for 3DIcon's scientific team. The creation of a non-linear phenomenon in the crystal image space is unique. This image space is the most efficient in the world in its ability to convert non-visible light into visible light.”
Dr. Jenssen is a world-renowned expert in new laser materials. He received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Jenssen was involved in the development of the 2-mm Ho laser, the tunable alexandrite laser, and the first Cr-doped fluoride tunable laser. After a long career as a principal research scientist at MIT, he joined CREOL at the University of Central Florida, where he was a research scientist before joining AC Materials in 2005. At AC Materials, where he is a vice-president of research, he continues to work in the field of spectroscopy, crystal growth, and materials development for lasers, phosphors, and other optical materials.
“The effective use of lasers in the CSpace system allows it to create the highest quality images possible,” added Dr. Rui Q. Yang. “The use of lasers, instead of regular light sources, gives CSpace precise control over the image medium. This, I believe, is an important difference between CSpace and other emerging 3D technologies. I would add that 3DIcon has achieved a major breakthrough in an optoelectronic system that combines several advanced technologies. I'm very impressed,” concluded Dr. Yang.
Dr. Yang is the inventor of interband cascade lasers, and his research activities have ranged from condensed matter physics to semiconductor quantum devices such as tunneling diodes, mid-infrared lasers, and detectors. Dr. Yang is currently a professor at the University of Oklahoma, where much of 3DIcon’s research has been performed. Prior to joining OU, he was a Principal Member of Engineering Staff and a Task Manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology where he led the development of advanced mid-infrared interband cascade lasers for applications in earth sciences and planetary explorations. He received the Edward Stone Award in 2007 from JPL for outstanding research publication and the successful accelerated infusion of cutting-edge interband cascade semiconductor laser technology into flight-mission readiness.
