Golden, Colorado (December 5, 2012) – Ocean Thin Films now provides its patented PixelTec™ patterned optical
coating process
for high-precision bandpass filters, opening up new possibilities for application-specific cameras. The extended capability enables
optical devices to be micro-patterned with multiple narrow-band filters, creating even greater contrast and resolution for
multispectral applications from cellular microscopy to factory vision systems.
By combining state-of-the art sputtered coating expertise with exclusive microlithography technology, PixelTec delivers highly
accurate geometric and spectral performance across the ultraviolet (UV), visible and near – short wave infrared ranges (NIR – SWIR).
The pioneer in lithographic patterning of optical coatings, Ocean Thin Films continues to advance this technology – with more than
2 million precision patterned optics delivered. PixelTec optical coatings are increasingly used for purpose-fit performance in a
multitude of medical, defense and industrial applications, enabling more compact, robust and cost-effective devices. The company’s
high-volume production capabilities help OEM’s deliver products to the market faster.
“With the rapid growth of multispectral analysis and imaging, our clients are leveraging the benefits of PixelTec to create custom
cameras for everything from non-invasive cancer detection to enhanced surveillance to art restoration,” explains Randel Mercer,
Vice President of Business Development. “By differentiating among spectral signatures, many of our clients find that imaging 4-8
targeted spectral bands shows a stunning contrast improvement. An imaging device using PixelTec can reveal what both human and
color-camera vision have been missing.”
