(September 20, 2007) BURLINGTON, MA— RedShift Systems, provider of next-generation thermal imaging solutions, will join forces with MEMS manufacturer,Innovative Micro Technology (IMT) to produce a solid-state, passive optical component that shifts long-wavelength thermal infrared radiation to visible light to allow standard CMOS and CCD digital cameras to “see heat.” The device, called Thermal Light Valve (TLV) reportedly enables next-generation infrared imaging devices that are expected to expand the market for thermal imaging.
