Attollo Engineering will be presenting their latest research on SWIR imagers and cryocooler technology. On April 21, 2024, Dr. Michael MacDougal, Founder and President of Attollo, will present […]
Photonics Project Interviews Dr. Andrew Hood Vice President of Engineering
Attollo Engineering’s Vice President of Engineering, Dr. Andrew Hood, recently shared his insights in an interview with Photonics Project. Dr. Hood discussed the positive impact of the website tools on educating new hires, emphasizing their usefulness in imparting infrared basics and facilitating hands-on learning experiences. In his role at Attollo, Dr. Hood leads the engineering […]
All Attollo Engineering infrared camera cores include MIPI Display Serial Interface
Attollo Engineering is increasing the capabilities of its infrared camera offerings by incorporating the MIPI CSI-2 interface across all product lines, including the Griffin (MWIR), Phoenix (SWIR), and Aetos (eSWIR) cameras. This addition aligns with the industry’s demand for enhanced connectivity in practical applications. Alongside existing interface options of Parallel, USB-C, and Camera Link, MIPI […]
Introducing one of the Smallest Extended Shortwave Infrared Camera Core- Aetos™ by Attollo Engineering
Latest development from Attollo Engineering, the Aetos™ eSWIR (extended shortwave infrared) camera core. With Aetos™ eSWIR you see wavelengths as long as 2.5 µm, which is beyond the traditional SWIR cutoff of 1.7 µm. Designed with low size, weight, and power (SWaP) in mind, the Aetos™ camera core weighs a mere 221 grams and has a volume of 134 cm³- making it one of the smallest eSWIR camera cores in the industry.
SBIR Awarded for Cost-Effective Shortwave Infrared Detector with Asynchronous Laser Pulse Detection
Attollo Engineering has is been award a Direct to Phase II SBIR Contract for developing a shortwave infrared detector capable of asynchronously locating short laser pulses for target marking, with the potential of an order of magnitude lower cost than current sensors.
Attollo Engineering Acquires Sensor Creations
Attollo Engineering acquires Sensor Creations to add IC Design Capability. Addition of Sensor Creation’s state-of-the-art analog and digital Integrated Circuit (IC) design expertise supplements Attollo’s position as a leading US supplier of IR sensors, components, and camera cores.
Not all Battlefield Lasers are Made the Same
Discover the difference in battlefield lasers; learn about the various types of lasers, their applications, and the importance of covert wavelengths.
Benefits of Low SWaP Infrared Cameras for Soldiers
A soldier carries anywhere from 40 to 140 pounds or more depending on their mission. These essential items add up on the scale and reduces the warfighter’s mobility. Attollo Engineering is able to provide the warfighter with infrared technology that has low size, weight, and power (SWaP) to provide the tools necessary to have a successful mission without physically burdening the warfighter.
Exploring Midwave and Shortwave Detection Capabilities
The infrared spectrum includes Midwave Infrared (MWIR) and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) ranges, each with unique applications in fields like military, surveillance, industry, and research. Comparing their capabilities helps us understand their strengths.
