Our Products
Advanced Optical Technologies (AOT)'s unique combination of optical metrology and machine-learning algorithms power innovative photonic products for manufacturing, defense, space, and additive technologies. These center on custom polarization sensors that enhance your view of materials and items of interest.
Crystal View CPCI
AOT's patented CrystalView Crystallographic Polarization-Classification Imaging (CPCI) provides crystallographic orientation images in air at much higher speeds with less surface polishing and over larger areas than EBSD. CrystalView CPCI has significant advantages for industrial use.
Registered Channel Multiplexer
AOT's registered-channel multiplexer (RCM) can switch probe states at video rates, enabling the only available multi-channel polarization video with applications in lidar, free-space laser communication, high-speed remote-sensing, microscopy, and material-processing with low- or high-power lasers.
Field Polarimeters
AOT's patented field polarimeters are redefining how sensors classify materials in real time. Measured material signatures are processed to determine the optimal polarimeter channels for each scenario, using either the sun or a laser light source. Both passive and active systems employ advanced classifiers, again derived from measured signatures, to deliver the AOT advantage in remote-sensing.
Metrology Instruments
Custom metrology instruments, including scatterometers, fluorometers, microscopes, interferometers, and autocollimators, feature the most modern, robust, and advantageous hardware indicated by design and metrology expertise. From manufacturing quality-control to crystallography to polarization optics to non-linear nanocrystals to thin films to diffraction gratings, AOT metrology instruments provide effective, reliable, and affordable custom solutions.
