Chairman of the Board since the Company's inception in 1985. Mr. Bartolomei has
41 years of experience in the optical coating industry. From 1967 to 1985, Mr.
Bartolomei was employed by Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. (OCLI). From 1983 to
1985, Mr. Bartolomei was OCLI's Senior Vice President of Operations. Reporting
to this position were the Company's three divisions and its Operations
Engineering, Management Systems and Special Programs functions. This position
was responsible for 750 of OCLI's 1100 person work force and 95% of Company
sales and profits. From 1976 to 1982, he was Vice President and General Manager
of OCLI's Technical Products Division. Prior to 1976 Mr. Bartolomei held
engineering, manufacturing, operations and general management positions in
OCLI's Technical Products Division. Mr. Bartolomei holds several patents for
precision optical coatings, optical components and coating deposition processes.
Norman L. Boling, Ph.D.
Vice President, Research and Development
Education:
Ph.D., Physics, Ohio State University, 1964
Experience:
After completing his Ph.D. dissertation on low temperature plasmas used in thin
film deposition, Dr Boling joined Owens Illinois Inc. There he worked from 1970
to 1980 in several areas of glass technology, including neodymium doped glasses
used in nuclear fusion lasers and erbium doped glasses now used in
telecommunications fibers. He also worked extensively on laser induced damage to
optical components while at Owens Illinois. From 1980 to 1986 he was with
Optical Coating Laboratory Inc. where his last position was Manager of Corporate
Engineering. His purview at OCLI included widely diversified thin film processes
and products. After leaving OCLI in 1985 he consulted full time for General
Electric for one year, working on high temperature optical coatings for
tungsten- halogen lamps. Dr. Boling has been VP of Research & Development at
Deposition Sciences since 1986 where his work on thin film processes and
products continues. At present his primary focus is telecommunications, with
emphasis on processes for depositing the complex optical coatings required in
many telecom products. Dr Boling holds 23 patents, including several in thin
film processing. He has authored numerous papers for technical publications and
presented 35 contributed or invited papers at technical conferences.

M. Eric Krisl, Ph.D.
Chief Quality Officer
Education:
BS Physics, 1973, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute PhD Optical Engineering,
1979, University of Rochester-Institute of Optics
Background:
Dr. Krisl joined Deposition Sciences Inc. in 1986 after several successful years
at Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. where he held significant positions in
production and Product Development Engineering. Dr. Krisl holds four patents in
the field of optical thin films and has broad experience in product and process
development for thin film applications. Technically challenging thin film
products successfully developed during his career include laser gyro mirror
coatings, rain erosion resistant coatings for aircraft windows, thermal control
coatings for satellites, infrared reflector coatings for energy efficient
tungsten halogen light bulbs, multilayer thin film pigment for spectrally
selective paints, and color correction coatings for metal halide arc lamps. Dr.
Krisl has developed processes for several deposition technologies including
thermal evaporation, plasma chemical vapor deposition, low-pressure chemical
vapor deposition, and several variations of sputtering. Prior to assuming his
current role, Dr. Krisl held the position of Vice President, Operations at DSI.
