LightPath to Supply IR Camera Maker

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 9, 2010 — Optical products manufacturer LightPath Technologies Inc. announced that it signed a supply agreement with an unnamed manufacturer of commercial and industrial vision systems, including infrared cameras used in the military, government, commercial and industrial sectors.

The supply agreement is an extension of an existing business relationship between the two companies.

“This expanded relationship solidifies the importance and growing market adoption of our molded infrared optical assemblies by industry leading manufacturers,” said Jim Gaynor, CEO of the company. “By using glass molding, we are able to reduce overall system cost and increase production volumes for many products, including infrared optics and thermal imaging cameras.”

The supply agreement enables the company to capitalize on significant sales opportunities in the thermal imaging and thermography markets, he said.

Glossary

thermal imaging: Thermal imaging is a technology that detects infrared radiation (heat) emitted by objects and converts it into an image, known as a thermogram, which displays temperature variations in different colors. Unlike visible light imaging, thermal imaging does not require any ambient light and can be used in complete darkness or through obstructions such as smoke, fog, and certain materials. Thermal cameras use sensors to detect infrared radiation and generate images based on the temperature...
thermography: Thermography is a technique that involves the use of an infrared imaging device, called a thermal camera or infrared camera, to detect and visualize the infrared radiation emitted by objects. This technology allows for the creation of thermographic images, also known as thermograms, where variations in temperature are represented by different colors or shades. The basic principles of thermography are as follows: Infrared radiation emission: All objects with a temperature above absolute zero...
