ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 24, 2010 — LightPath Technologies Inc., an optical components and assemblies manufacturer, announced that it has completed a $750,000 Phase II SBIR contract award from the US Navy, under the direction of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The contract created a platform for the company to develop large diameter molded infrared aspheric lenses. LightPath currently sells the lenses and thermal imaging assemblies as part of the larger thermal imaging, thermography and gas sensing markets. “LightPath has enjoyed collaborating with the US Navy and Air Force to develop new technologies for...Read full article

    aspheric
    Not spherical; an optical element having one or more surfaces that are not spherical. The spherical surface of a lens may be slightly altered so as to reduce spherical aberration. Aspheric surfaces are frequently, but not necessarily, surfaces of revolution about the lens axis.
    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...
