Products
High-fidelity infrared LED scene projector system
Laboratory scene projector systems designed to simulate infrared scenes for sensor validation, offering high dynamic range, high resolution (scalable up to 2048×2048 modes reported), sub-window update capabilities, and high apparent frame rates.
EO/IR micro-LED emitter arrays and integration
Photonically-emitting micro-LED emitter arrays developed for EO/IR scene projection with emphasis on specific wavelength emission, fast optical response and improved quantum efficiency; includes fabrication vendor selection and integration into final packages.
Read-in integrated circuit (RIIC) for emitter arrays
Read-in integrated circuit technology to interface and drive emitter arrays providing improved frame rates, dynamic range and operability; this class of components is the subject of a granted patent.
