Xenics USA Inc.’s North and Latin American office has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Laser Components USA Inc.’s North American sales, marketing and distribution office in Bedford, N.H.

Xenics will offer the full spectral range of its advanced IR imagers, cores and cameras under the agreement, and Laser Components USA will become the partner to sell and market Xenics in-house-developed SWIR line-scan imagers with rectangular pixels. The partnership will further extend Xenics position in the North American IR spectroscopy market, the company said.

Laser Components USA offers products manufactured by the Laser Components Group such as InGaAs PIN photodiodes, PbS and PbSe detectors, pyroelectric detectors, laser modules, single photon counting modules, laser diodes, and laser optics. The company will add Xenics Xlin-R series to their distribution product line to complement their own line of IR detectors.

The agreement was jointly signed at the 2016 Photonics West Trade show.
