BURLINGTON, Mass., 20 Sept. 2007. RedShift Systems, a provider of next-generation thermal imaging solutions, has selected Innovative Micro Technology (IMT), a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) foundry, to produce the RedShift Thermal Light Valve (TLV).
The TLV is a solid state, passive optical component that shifts long-wavelength thermal infrared radiation to visible light, thereby allowing standard CMOS and CCD digital cameras to "see heat." The TLV enables a new generation of affordable infrared imaging devices that will expand the market for thermal imaging.
