Excelitas Technologies to Demonstrate Photonics, Imaging Innovations at BiOS Expo and Photonics West 2025

WHO:   Excelitas Technologies® Corp., the leading provider of advanced, life-enriching technologies that make a difference, serving global market leaders in the life sciences, advanced industrial, next-generation semiconductor, aerospace and defense end markets, will display and demonstrate its latest high-performance photonics offerings at SPIE BiOS Expo and SPIE Photonics West 2025. Excelitas will also present several sessions at Photonics West.

WHAT:  At both events, Excelitas will demonstrate the following technologies in its booth:

• A microscopy demo featuring Excelitas’ X-Cite XYLIS™ II Broad Spectrum LED Illumination System, an arc lamp replacement for routine and advanced fluorescence imaging applications, and pco.edge 10 bi CLHS camera with a back-illuminated image sensor, offering quantum efficiency up to 85% with broad spectrum to NIR.
• Multispectral technology including the pco.pixelfly™ 1.3 SWIR high-performance machine vision camera with InGaAs image sensor, sensitive in the shortwave infrared (SWIR), near infrared and visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum; along with the Optem® FUSION Microimaging System with a modular design and infinity corrected optics for maximum versatility in machine vision, automated optical inspection and non-contact metrology.
• An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) demo showcasing how Excelitas’ Axsun High-Speed SS-OCT Tunable Laser Engines´ tuning bandwidth, output power, sweep speed and coherence length enable cutting-edge performance in next-generation OCT systems. 

Additional demonstrations at the Excelitas Photonics West booth will include:

• Automated sorting with Excelitas’ pco.edge® 26 CLHS sCMOS Camera and new LINOS® inspec.x 5.6/105 VIS-NIR Lens for optics and imaging. This demonstration delivers quick response sorting driven by AI-based image processing, using a NVIDIA Jetson board, in the image data stream
• High-speed object recognition using Excelitas’ new pco.dimax 3.6 ST High-Speed Camera and LINOS d.fine HR-M Series Lens for use in high-speed sorting, analysis and inspection applications.
• Solid-state LiDAR demonstration showcasing a custom 16-channel pulsed laser module with a monolithic 4-channel chip. The chip on ASIC integrated driver features the capabilities of Excelitas high-power lasers (150 W /channel at 50 A) as well as CMOS SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) array for use in LiDAR system applications. 
• Live motion detection demo with Excelitas Low-Power DigiPyro PYD 1598 works at the new industry-leading standard of 1.8V supply voltage with significantly reduced supply current. The family of Low-Power DigiPyro can be customized for element sizes and packages. These DigiPyros offer added features and low-current power consumption for extended remote motion detection in battery operated devices.

Excelitas will also present three sessions at Photonics West: 

• Faraday rotator design for 343nm and 355nm lasers: Volker Melzer, January 28, 11:50 AM - 12:10 PM PST, Moscone Center, Room 206 (Level 2 South)
• Phase stable OCT with a 1050 nm tunable VCSEL and photonic integrated circuit: Bart Johnson, January 29, 5:00 PM – 5:15 PM PST, Moscone Center, Room 203 (Level 2 South)
• OFDR of a 1050 nm photonic integrated circuit: Bart Johnson, January 29, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM PST, Moscone Center Room 2003 (Level 2 West) 

WHERE:  Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA 

• BiOS: January 25 – January 26, 2025, Excelitas Booth # 8530
• Photonics West: January 28 – January 30, 2025, Excelitas Booth # 641
