"We are very pleased that we can offer our significant customer base a solid-state infra-red camera", said Art Stout, VP of Business Development of Electrophysics.
"Xenics offers the quality and performance we want to be associated with and we look forward to a long term relationship".
The new infra-red camera is based on an InGaAs imager with a resolution of 320 x 256 pixels and is sensitive between 0.9 and 1.7um.
The fully digital camera is a real-time USB 2.0 based and has excellent signal-to-noise ratios.
Other characteristics include a high linearity and a wide dynamic range.
Applications targeted are spectroscopy, telecommunication, hyper spectral imaging, laser beam profiling, semiconductor inspection, thermal imaging of hot objects and night vision.
"The increasing demand for these types of applications will result in strong growth rates for the near-infra-red InGaAs imager market in the coming years", said Bob Grietens, Xenics CEO and founder.
"The agreement for the distribution of our new infra-red InGaAs imager will most likely result in a significant increase in our company's revenues next year".
The agreement is in line with the timing of Xenics' strategy to deploy its sales and marketing network, announced earlier in June of this year and represents a significant milestone.
"We are excited about our partnership with Electrophysics, given its long presence in the near infra-red camera market, their significant customer base, and its network of highly qualified sales representatives", said Bob Grietens.
Meanwhile, new infra-red products are under development and will be introduced in the market in the coming months using the newly established sales network.
