Our immersion in automotive technologies combined with our diverse photonic capabilities segues into  a variety of transportation-related advancements such as traffic monitoring and road-surface lighting.

The dramatic advancements in smart technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) have occurred over the past decade with far reaching implications for consumer products and our everyday lives. These advancements have been enabled, in no small measure, by the development of increasingly sophisticated sensors and detectors that enable our new technologies to interface with the human form in new and inventive ways. Fueling consumer appetites, Excelitas thermal IR and Photonic Detectors and Sensors allow for unprecedented automation capabilities in consumer products, smart homes and automobiles, amongst many others.

Modern manufacturing is an on-going photonics revolution. Light can be used by computers to process or measure materials with no surface contact, no contamination and no wear of tool edges in the smallest of scales and over large areas. Photonics-enabled light is used to produce the devices that are ubiquitous in modern lives, to protect our health and environment, and keep us safe.   Light-based machine vision and automated optical inspection systems make it possible to inspect a part or guide tools to the desired area of processing.  Observed surface topology can be compared to the topology details stored of an ideal reference part to ensure quality.  This is one of many reasons photonics increasingly extend their use in manufacturing, yielding gains in speed, cost, and quality.   New-age light-activation of materials is also fundamental to many manufacturing processes including printing, additive manufacturing and curing of adhesives and coatings.

Wide-ranging technologies for illumination, imaging and detection allow Excelitas to serve a breadth of medical applications: diagnostics, surgery, UVC Disinfection, dentistry, ophthalmology, and more. Our extensive capabilities for design and manufacturing, from components to systems, make Excelitas the ideal partner for medical OEMs with the most demanding requirements when quality, cost and ability-to-scale are critical.   Excelitas laser, LED, and lamp solutions address lighting needs from fibers to entire operating rooms, single wavelength to full-spectrum, low-power to high. We have extensive experience with light delivery when stable, reliable, repeatable performance is needed for surgical visualization, fluorescence, skin rejuvenation, and UV curing.    Excelitas optics are used in medicine's most demanding applications such as micro-optic assemblies in endoscopy and surgical laser beam delivery systems. Our silicon detectors measure light levels down to single photons in diagnostic instruments.

Excelitas’ UVC light sources fulfill a critical role in disinfecting our environments and protecting the public from infectious viral and microbial contamination. UVC disinfection is a non-contact, chemical-free method to inactivate bacteria or viruses and prevent them from replicating while offering a green process with vast environmental and social benefits. Global demand for UVC solutions is sharply increasing and represents a rapidly evolving market landscape since traditional technology of low-pressure mercury lamps is quickly being eliminated and replaced. Today, there is a need and market opportunity for next-generation UVC solutions with improved energy efficiency, increased end-user safety, and responsible environmental stewardship. Excelitas manufactures a very wide-array of high performance non-mercury, advanced UVC technologies from complete ultraviolet germicidal systems to individual UVC lamps used to ensure food safety and healthcare disinfection.  To learn more, read our white paper on "UVC LED Upper-Air Disinfection: A Cornerstone in the Fight against Coronavirus."
