CIRTEMO Blog CIRTEMO Develops World's First Nanoscale Optical Arrays with MagAssemble Technology

Multivariate Optical Element innovator, CIRTEMO, announced today that the company has developed the world's first nanoscale optical arrays using MagAssemble technology."Today, custom optical arrays are very expensive, complicated, and slow to manufacture, especially on the prototype scale. With the MagAssemble technology, we can help customers create low-cost, high-value optical filter arrays and other diffractive optics very quickly, in some cases, within days," said Jason Williamson, CIRTEMO's Chief Executive Officer. "We can now help our customers develop unique optics, especially on the micro and nano scale. The MagAssemble technology is a game changer for companies who are developing hyperspectral imaging systems for industrial, defense, agricultural, life science, and autonomous vehicle applications." The PTMN platform allows CIRTEMO to design and manufacture shapes and structures on the nanometer scale. These features can then be transferred to a wide variety of substrates for producing unique optics that are not possible with traditional optical manufacturing techniques. CIRTEMO's technology platforms are ideally suited for both point detection sensors and hyperspectral imaging systems."As camera sensor manufacturers both increase the number of pixels within a camera while reducing the size of the pixels, the ability to manufacture optical filters and other diffractive optical elements on the nanoscale will become paramount," said Dr. Ryan Priore, CIRTEMO's Chief Technology Officer. "With PTMN technology, we can manufacture a variety of arrays on the nanoscale in both the visible and short ware infrared regions of the optical spectrum. Our existing partner network can mate these optical filters to a variety of detectors and/or focal plane arrays which are ideally suited for prototyping next generation hyperspectral imaging systems."
