Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array Photodetector

The Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array (BSTFA) photodetector is a type of sensor that possesses unique properties for extreme photon gathering capabilities. This means it can collect light even in very low-light conditions. The BSTFA detector is often incorporated into advanced imaging systems to enhance their sensitivity and ability to capture images in low-light scenarios.

For instance, the BSTFA photodetector has been used in the ColorVision® system, which is designed to provide color night vision capabilities. This system integrates the highly sensitive BSTFA photodetector to achieve improved imaging performance during nighttime or in environments with limited light availability.

MultiLayer Digiscan

The MultiLayer Digiscan Image Sequencing (MDIS) is a proprietary technology used for real-time HD video processing.

MultiLayer Digiscan technology involves scanning digital images across multiple layers, to extract, enhance, or combine information from different layers of the image or from multiple frames. Image Sequencing process is done in a sequence, which means that it processes multiple frames in a sequence to produce a smoother, clearer, or more detailed output.

When combined with the Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array (BSTFA) photodetector, which is designed for extreme photon gathering capabilities, the MDIS technology enhances the video output by processing the captured light in real-time. This combination ensures that the imaging system can capture high-quality, full color, images or videos in low-light conditions, making it particularly useful for applications like night vision.

In our ColorVision® system, MDIS plays a crucial role in ensuring that the video feed is not only sensitive to low light but also clear and high-definition. This real-time HD video processing capability allows for immediate viewing and analysis of the captured footage, which can be critical in scenarios like surveillance, security, or remote imaging.
