revenues in 2010 and ended the year with a strong sales backlog, granting good visibility into 2011.
“CyOptics is uniquely positioned to bring together all of the critical technologies required to design and manufacture high performance optical devices,” said Ed Coringrato, CyOptics CEO.
“This incremental investment will help to fund the working capital needed to bolster near term revenue growth and to support research & development required to deliver the next generation products and services our customers require.”
“As the relative share of web traffic comprising media and video continues to grow, our communications networks will be required to deliver unprecedented levels of bandwidth. CyOptics’ high speed, high performance solutions will increasingly enable the fulfilment of consumer demand for evolving entertainment, educational, and gaming applications. The company’s accelerated growth over the past twelve months is a clear testament to this,” commented Erel Margalit, founder and managing partner of JVP, and CyOptics Chairman.
“Over the past decade, we have worked closely with the CyOptics’ management to build the Company into a leading independent global organization. The Company’s strong underlying technology, broad portfolio of products, and successful acquisition and integration capabilities, position it for continued growth as a prominent player in the industry,” continued Margalit.
JVP will nominate an additional member to the Board of Directors following the transaction.
Sensors Shows off New Large-Format InGaAs Camera
The firm’s shortwave infrared (SWIR) camera that features the CE mark is suited to solar applications, integrated circuit microscopy, machine vision of moving objects, sorting and inspection.
Sensors Unlimited, a subsidiary of Goodrich, has introduced a compact, large-format indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) high-resolution SWIR snapshot

video camera, the SU640KTS. The new imager has met all Conformite Europeene (CE) and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards for radiated and conducted emissions, for immunity from such emissions, and for electrostatic discharge (ESD) resistance. The CE mark ensures compatibility with the toughest country requirements for instruments delivered to European Union customers.
The SU640KTS operates in the SWIR (from 0.9 to 1.7 microns) at 30 frames per second. The solid- state, uncooled 640 x 512 pixel array camera with 25 micron pitch also features built-in non-uniformity corrections (NUCs), automatic gain control (AGC), and adjustable automatic contrast enhancement. It offers both EIA-170 analog video output and Camera Link compatibility for 12-bit digital imaging. Extensive camera commands and controls are also available using the Camera Link interface or via a separate EIA232 interface, for added flexibility.
For solar applications, the high resolution, large- format camera is ideally suited for silicon block, silicon ingot, or wafer inspection. Other applications include integrated circuit microscopy, machine vision of moving objects, sorting, inspection, hyper- and multi-spectral imaging, pulsed or continuous wave (CW) laser-beam profiling, thermal imaging at >150 degrees C through glass windows, and full- field optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 1.04 , 1.31 or 1.55 microns.
The new, low power (2.5 W at 20 degrees C, 9-16 V) InGaAs camera comes with a C-mount lens adapter. Camera options include a C-mount 25 mm f/1.4 lens, Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens with an F-mount adapter, or a SWIR optimized 50 mm f/1.4 lens with the Goodrich 42 mm interface adapter. The firm is also offering an imaging pack consisting of 2 meter Camera Link cable and the National Instruments PCIe-1427 frame grabber card.
