LightPath, UCF Ink Research Pact

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 16, 2010 — LightPath Technologies Inc. announced Thursday its entrance into a research agreement with the University of Central Florida’s (UFC) College of Optics and Photonics (CREOL) to develop new processes for the handling and molding of infrared glasses. Funding for the agreement was partially obtained through matching funds available from the Florida High Tech Corridor Council (FHTC). Working to bring low-cost infrared optics to the defense, military and commercial infrared markets, LightPath is targeting such high-growth applications as infrared countermeasures, thermography, gas...Read full article

    glass
    A noncrystalline, inorganic mixture of various metallic oxides fused by heating with glassifiers such as silica, or boric or phosphoric oxides. Common window or bottle glass is a mixture of soda, lime and sand, melted and cast, rolled or blown to shape. Most glasses are transparent in the visible spectrum and up to about 2.5 µm in the infrared, but some are opaque such as natural obsidian; these are, nevertheless, useful as mirror blanks. Traces of some elements such as cobalt, copper and...
    thermal imaging
    The process of producing a visible two-dimensional image of a scene that is dependent on differences in thermal or infrared radiation from the scene reaching the aperture of the imaging device.
    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...
