West Berlin, N.J.-based Dynasil Corp. of America announced today that Peter Sulick, a significant investor in the company since 2005, has been elected chairman of its board of directors. Former chair James Saltzman was elected vice chairman. Sulick, an entrepreneur who has founded and led telecommunications companies subsequently acquired by Nextel and T-Mobile, joined the Dynasil board in June 2008. In the early part of his career, he was a principal financial officer for Cablevision Systems and has also held several senior-level financial positions at the communications operations group of ITT. A CPA, he began his career in the audit department at Arthur Andersen & Co., having earned his MBA in finance from the University of Massachusetts and a BS in business administration from The Citadel. Dynasil makes high-purity synthetic fused silica, including excimer grades, for optics, lasers, electronics, semiconductor and research applications.

Glossary
- electronics
- That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
- excimer
- A contraction of "excited dimer." The term refers to an excited species made by combination of two identical atoms or molecules, one of which is excited and one of which is at a ground state.
- nano
- An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
- photonics
- The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
