Company
ICX Photonics (formerly Ion Optics) is the world leader in devices and surfaces which allow the tuning of infrared (IR) emission, absorption, and transmission of various surfaces and devices.
ICX Photonics first introduced this concept in 1998 with the pulsIR™ family of IR sources. Today, pulsIR™ and the associated reflector products are widely used as a source for NDIR gas sensing systems as well as for IR beacons and markers for defense and other applications.
Recently, ICX Photonics has developed patented photonic crystal technology which allows precise wavelength tuning of the emission and absorption of a silicon surface. When implemented on a MEMS (micro-mechanical machine system) chip, this technology will be introduced in a number of new product families. The tunIR™ family of IR sources will be precisely wavelength tuned for gas sensing and other applications. The markIR™ family will offer wavelength selective IR markers and beacons for defense and signaling applications.
SensorChip™ products will use the tuned and matched absorption and transmission characteristics of our devices to offer accurate, reliable, low power, and low-cost MEMS-based IR gas sensors to detect toxic and combustible gases in homes, automobiles, public buildings, and the work environment. Unlike today's gas sensing technology, ICX Photonics' SensorChip™ will become pervasive in the market because it is a small, low-cost, low-power and reliable, "set and forget" sensor. ICX Photonics' wavelength control photonic crystal technology can be used in consumer, industrial and defense applications.
ICX Photonics' rich history of delivering high level research projects to a diverse set of government, military and commercial organizations has played a significant role in developing our technology. Their R&D partners include the U.S. Department of Energy, National Institutes of Health, NASA, DARPA, U.S. Department of Transportation, National Institute of Science and Technology (ATP), National Science Foundation and others. Their research contracts have primarily been in the areas of IR gas sensing, spectroscopy and IR emissions. |
