PIXELTEQ Expands Patterned Optical Coating Capability

PIXELTEQ announces expansion of its exclusive patterned optical coating technology at its Golden, Colorado operation.  The pioneer in lithographic patterning of optical coatings, PIXELTEQ continues to advance their patented process – with more than 2 million precision patterned optics delivered.

The Golden, CO expansion includes the construction of a dedicated, semiconductor grade clean room outfitted with advanced patterning and alignment equipment. PIXELTEQ's technology enables micron-scale patterning of multiple thin film optical coatings on a single substrate including:

• Precision patterning of intricate features, shapes, and sizes with sub-pixel alignment accuracy.
• Dielectric, metallic, and transparent conductive (ITO/IMITO) coatings  engineered for custom spectral properties
• Multi-filter arrays on monolithic substrates, scalable to high volume production.

PIXELTEQ optical coatings are increasingly used for purpose-specific performance in a multitude of medical, defense, and industrial applications - leading to more compact, robust, and cost-effective devices.  “MultiSpectral imaging & sensing is an exciting example where clients are leveraging the benefits of PIXELTEQ's patterned dichroic coatings – configuring real-time custom imagers and sensors for everything from enhanced surveillance to non-invasive detection of cancer and disease,“ explains Randel Mercer, Vice President of Business Development.  “PIXELTEQ's innovative patterning expertise also supports precision reticles, variable filters, EMI/RFI shielding, and other custom optics.  Our continued investment ensures our customers receive the best-in-class patterning capability coupled with high quality optical coatings.”
