Excelitas VariFi™ linear variable filters provide a unique solution for controlling background noise and higher-order effects in spectrometers. Our proprietary technology enables cost-effective production of linearly variable filters over a wide range of sizes. These filters are available in the visible, near infrared, and mid-infrared spectral ranges and can be delivered on various substrate materials.
Excelitas manufactures spatially variable response coatings in which the center wavelength of operation changes with position in a linear manner over the surface of the optic. VariFi Linear Variable Filters are offered in narrow band pass, long pass, short pass, and order sorting filters.

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.
