    Photonics business roundup: January 2022

    Lee Dubay
    In case you missed it, several things happened in the photonics business world in January 2022.
    FIGURE 1. Emphasizing blood vessels in the human forearm: an image with the conventional RGB camera (left) and a hyperspectral image in SWIR after processing with IDCube (right) are shown. This datacube was collected using a SWIR-sensitive 2D indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) camera, Ninox (Raptor Photonics), mounted on top of a SWIR imaging spectrograph (Specim) equipped with a chromatic-aberration-free lens (StingRay Optics) , and was obtained by members of the Berezin Lab at Washington University in St. Louis.

    Hyperspectral instruments generate high-contrast images of latent fingerprints while also yielding chemical “signature” information about material left behind that could be associated with the fingerprint.

Iris on the Move technology from Sarnoff uses an array of 15 frames/s video cameras with 850 nm LED illumination to image the irises of individuals coming within 3 m of the system at a rate of 30 people per minute (top). The system first segments the iris (middle), then remaps the iris image from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates in a normalization process (bottom). In the normalized image, increasing radius goes from top to bottom, while increasing angle goes from left to right, allowing the formatted image to be matched against reference irises.
