Xenics NV Overview
Company Headquarters: Belgium
Founded: 2000
Workforce: ~65
Company Working: Xenics NV is active in the market for advanced IR imaging products and solutions. The company began as a commercial spin-off of the IMEC (Inter-university Microelectronics Centre), which is one of Europe’s leading independent research centres engaged in the exploration and development of advanced microelectronics and nanotechnologies. It is engaged in providing infrared (IR) detectors, imagers, cores, cameras, and accessories such as frame grabbers, filters, cases, cables, and supplies. Its IR detectors cover a wavelength area from 1 micrometre to 14 micrometres. The product portfolio mainly segmented into short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR). The short-wave infrared (SWIR) part of the infrared spectrum offers unique capabilities for various applications in machine vision, R&D, medical, security, process control and transportation. SWIR imagers typically use reflected light, i.e., similar with the shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum, and are often complementary to MWIR and LWIR imagers. Most of Xenics SWIR lines can and area detectors are developed in-house and based on a material called InGaAs (Indium Gallium Arsenide). The company has distributors all around the world.
