COSTA MESA, Calif., September 9, 2003. Irvine Sensors Corporation has successfully developed and delivered the first units of an enhanced version of its miniaturized Cam-Noir infrared camera. Irvine Sensors' proprietary infrared camera uses stacked memory chips that store pre- calibrated sensor performance characteristics for a wide range of expected operating temperatures.
Such an approach avoids the necessity of cooling the infrared sensor, with corresponding reductions in camera volume, weight and power requirements, as well as allowing "instant-on" operation. Development of the enhanced camera was achieved with funding from several government agencies for a number of potential systems applications, ranging from weapons sights to surveillance.
With the successful delivery of the initial units, Irvine Sensors is now focused on delivery of multiple units to project sponsors for testing. In addition to testing for various military applications, the enhanced camera will be tested for potential use as a hands- free, helmet-mounted sensor for firefighters.
"With this developmental success, we are now prepared to quote prices and schedules for limited production runs of this improved version of our infrared camera," said Robert G. Richards, Irvine Sensors' Chief Executive Officer. Potential customers are urged to contact Mike Zani, Director of Marketing, at mzani@irvine-sensors.com for further information.
Irvine Sensors Corporation, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, is primarily engaged in research and development related to high density electronics, miniaturized sensors and cameras, optical interconnection technology, high speed routers, image processing and low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for diverse systems applications.
