TriEye and LITEON partner on VCSEL-powered SWIR sensing and imaging
TriEye Ltd of Tel Aviv, Israel — which claims to have pioneered the first CMOS-based shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensing technology — and optoelectronic and power management firm LITEON Technology of Hsinchu, Taiwan have partnered to deliver a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-powered SWIR sensing and imaging solution.
The partnership has led to the development of a technology demonstrator that combines TriEye’s SWIR sensor with LITEON’s 1135nm VCSEL. Adopting high-volume, scalable manufacturing strategies, the products are said to provide cost-effective solutions for both consumer and industrial market demands.
The system highlights the capabilities of the TES200, TriEye’s CMOS-based SWIR image sensor, which is said to have high sensitivity and resolution. Designed to enable SWIR imaging in various industries, including industrial machine vision, robotics and consumer electronics, the product is reckoned to represent a step forward in mass-market SWIR imaging technology.
LITEON is introducing its LTPE-3532**OX high-power 1135nm VCSEL array, a complementary solution that optimizes SWIR system performance. With additional eye safety compared with existing solutions, the new VCSEL is expected to broaden the scope of applications in imaging, sensing, robotics and datacom across multiple industries.
“Our 1135nm VCSEL combined with TriEye’s exceptional SWIR sensor marks a significant advancement in the realm and scale of imaging and illumination solutions,” claims Sander Su, general manager of LITEON Technology’s Optoelectronics Product Solution (OPS) strategic business unit (SBU). “This partnership is more than just a technological achievement; it represents our shared vision of innovating for a more eye-safe and efficient future in consumer, industrial, automotive and robotics applications,” he adds.
“We are proud to add another VCSEL partner to our SWIR imaging ecosystem. Expanding the ecosystem makes SWIR sensing more accessible than ever,” says TriEye’s CEO Avi Bakal.
The TES200 and LTPE-3532**OX are available in sample quantities.
