GOLETA, Calif., March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) has received its fifth Herschel Award since 1987 in recognition of technological breakthroughs. The award, presented recently at the 2011 Military Sensing Symposia held in Orlando, Fla., recognizes the development of state-of-the-art hybrid visible FPA (focal plane arrays) solutions based on Silicon P-i-N detector technology. These FPAs have superior performance in quantum efficiency,...
Infrared cameras see more than the naked eye and can make road traffic safer. Cameras for the long-wave infrared range, however, have the disadvantage that the sensor requires constant cooling, which adds to the cost and complexity of the device. Now a new type of detector has been developed which functions at room temperature.At night on an unlit country road: the bends in the road restrict the view ahead and, to make things worse, it is foggy. The car driver is exercising all due care and...
SARASOTA, Fl., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SUNV) has been granted an export license from the U.S. Department of State to sell mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) undoped infrared wafers for night-vision camera applications to a South Korean customer. This license permits Sunovia to substantially increase its international sales of infrared-related products. Sunovia filed for the export license following the receipt of a $33...
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 11, 2009 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has developed the world's largest infrared light-wave detector, expanding current capabilities in missile warning, environmental monitoring and astronomical research. Optimized for space applications, the new "4K-by-4K" focal plane array comprises some 16 million pixels, arranged in 4,096 rows and columns. It is four times larger than infrared detectors currently in production, giving it the ability to collect...
EVANSTON, Ill. --- New technology developed at Northwestern University has the potential for broad application in the detection of terrorist activities such as missile attacks on U.S. troops. Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) have demonstrated, for the first time, uncooled infrared imaging using type-II superlattice technology. This significant development could lead to smaller, faster and less expensive hand-held infrared imaging devices. High-speed infrared (IR) imagers are...
