ightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH), introduce an f/1.3, 14.9 mm focal length Long

Wave Infrared (LWIR) lens assembly designed for uncooled infrared sensors. These lenses are designed as the primary optics for thermal imagers in a wide variety of applications including homeland securi- ty, firefighting, predictive maintenance and driver’s vision enhancement systems in automobiles. These thermal imaging markets have a combined current estimated value of over $2.5 billion. This new lens assembly integrates LightPath’s Black Diamond™ molded chalcogenide infrared lenses that are a lower cost substitute for high volume diamond-turned Germanium and Zinc Selenide optics. The opto- mechanical design combined with the unique ma- terial properties of Black Diamond glasses provide athermalization for temperature stability from -40° C to 85° C (-40° Fahrenheit to 185° Fahrenheit) without adding additional cost. This specific design gives a 60 degree field-of-view and when paired with a 15 mm sensor with a 25 micron pixel pitch.

Kopin‘s standard eyepiece product was designed for and qualified on the Light, Medium and Heavy Thermal Weapons Sights (LTWS, MTWS, HTWS) in the U.S. Army‘s TWS-IIB program. This rugged solution provides a VGA- resolution (640x480) monochrome in a 30-degree diago- nal field-of-view (FOV). Based on Kopin‘s newest AMLCD architecture, the display system, including the display, backlight and driver electronics, dissipates less than 155 mW while displaying full-rate video at 60 Hz and less than 20 mW in low-power standby mode. This standard eyepiece product can be customized to adapt to a variety
