Excelitas offers 3 µm to 14 µm thermal infrared imaging lenses, which can be customized from a variety of substrate materials, including CaF2, ZnS, ZnSe, Ge, Si, and GaAs lenses from 6 mm to 250 mm diameters with a typical surface flatness of λ/10 (at 633 nm). In addition, our advanced plasma source (APS) coating technology for highly densified thin films provides superior environmental durability.
Thin Film Engineering is the core technology of our company. With over 100 years of Thin Film manufacturing and design experience, Excelitas works closely as an extension of our customers' engineering and product development organizations to provide the most efficient and robust solutions for specific lens requirements.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
