Manchester-based designer and producer of optical systems Optics 1, Inc. has placed new orders for Clip-On Thermal Imager (COTI) cores with Irvine Sensors Corporation. Earlier, the two companies had announced a partnership to back up their individual production of COTIs.
COTIs can be appended to night vision eyewear to present thermal images to users as an enhancement to the low-light pictures currently produced by the goggles used for this purpose.
The new order for COTI, which has been accepted by Irvine Sensors, will be used to satisfy demands from a variety of customers and when combined with the previous purchase order, adds up to an overall order value of $8.6 million. California-based Irvine Sensors Corporation is a company that deals with vision systems. The company focuses on the development of image processors, minute IR and electro-optical cameras, stacked chip assemblies, and also on the sale of systems incorporating these products. The company is also engaged in R&D related to various technologies including high-speed network security, high density electronics, optical interconnection technology, miniaturized sensors, and image processing.
