Peak NanoPlexTM Films
The core of Peak's products is their NanoPlex film technology. Their nanolayered polymers build LGRIn (Longitudinal Gradient Refractive Index) optics lenses, high-energy capacitors, and advanced films. These technologies will help warfighters see further and better, advance clean renewable energy, and protect satellites from the sun.

Peak's patented processed and AI-based designs help to create solutions for national defense, aerospace, life sciences, and beyond.

Peak HawkAI Optics
HawkAI is Peak’s patent-pending AI design platform. Their unique application of nanolayered LGRIN polymers to create lenses for night vision systems, fire control systems, endoscopy, UAS, and other advanced solutions is making Peak the leader in this optics design and manufacturing technology.

Plus, they can reduce design time from years to weeks with our AI-based software. Their solutions are revolutionizing optics for size, weight, color, and clarity performance. This gives Peak optical systems significant performance and efficacy advantages.

AI-Powered Defense Solutions
Peak’s AI-powered optics technology enables warfighters to accomplish their mission and bring the team home safely. Their advanced warfighter systems improve the field of view, accuracy, and effectiveness of night vision, fire control, and unmanned aircraft systems. Using lightweight NanoPlex-based optics, they improve warfighter tempo, reduce fatigue, and increase lethality.

NanoPlex Optimizes Energy
Peak NanoPlex is working to create new energy solutions to enhance current power grids, integrate renewable energy sources, and optimize fusion energy. Peak NanoPlex solutions can store up to 4X more power than conventional capacitors and accomplish this in half the footprint to improve environmental considerations. They are helping deliver energy to change the way the world works.

Peak Powers Fusion Energy
Fusion energy powers our sun and all the stars in the universe. The process is theoretically simple: hydrogen atoms can be superheated, fusing together and producing helium and clean energy. The implementation is a bit more complicated and requires hundreds of high-powered lasers to recreate the fusion process in a controlled manner. Peak NanoPlex solutions can provide up to four times the energy density of conventional capacitors and enable smaller and lighter solutions to improve environmental considerations. Their NanoPlex films are being used to develop the massive power bursts required to power those lasers to increase fusion effectiveness, efficiency, and production readiness.

Life Sciences Levels Up -
Peak products and solutions will advance the capabilities and effectiveness of the life sciences industry in several areas. Their AI-powered optics technology will help enable professionals to reduce the complexity and cost of endoscopy instruments while improving overall performance. And Peak’s NanoPlex films can optimize the safety, transport, and usability of a multitude of instruments, medications, and supplies.

Peak Performance for Aerospace -
Peak’s technology and solutions can be used across various aerospace applications, including AI-powered optics for drones, satellites, and other reconnaissance systems.

DoD
Modular Open Systems Approach or MOSA is a DoD standard that seeks flexibility and interchangeability across various systems to optimize capabilities and reduce development time and costs. Under the direction of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for Advanced Capabilities Peak is working with partners such as Wilcox Industries to deliver on this critical initiative.

2023 Gold Edison Award
Peak was granted a Gold Edison Award for enhanced performance of capacitor films. The award noted, “Through Peak’s nanolayer process, tunable film capacitors are provided with superior thermal & electrical properties. By combining high electrical breakdown AND high-temperature resistance, Peak 4125-12 allows capacitor producers to change the game. These films will improve capacitors for EV, aircraft, high voltage, and renewable energy markets.”

2023 German Innovation Award for Excellence
Peak was awarded the German Innovation Award in May 2023 for Excellence in Business to Business – Materials & Surfaces. The award notes: “Peak’s technology is the first commercial-scale process to produce polymeric lenses for the industry. In a typical 8 X 42 binocular, the field-of-view increases from 7.5° to 9.0° by using LGRIN lenses. In addition, colour and resolution are enhanced.”

2022 Silver Edison Award
Peak received a Silver Edison Award in the category of Performance Based Designs for Nanolayer LGRIN Lenses. From the Edison Awards: “Peak Nano Optics’ nanolayer film technology provides LGRIN lenses for military, medical, and commercial applications. LGRIN lenses are 10X thinner and 80% lighter than glass and provide a wider field of view while enhancing resolution and color. Production facilities are in place, and customer programs are underway for commercialization."

2021 R&D 100 Gold
