About Spectrum Optix Inc.

Spectrum is developing technologies relating to imagery and light concentration applications. Utilizing its patent pending Blade Optics™ technology, which contains flat lenses, the Company aims to disrupt conventional lens and image capture based systems.

Benefits of the Patent Pending Blade Optics™ Technology

Blade Optics™ could breakdown many of the limitations associated with conventional, curved lens stacks:

  • Aperture size: Blade Optics™ has the potential to help significantly reduce the lens stack depth to aperture ratio for several imaging verticals. This could allow for greatly increased aperture sizes without increasing the depth of the lens stack in many applications.
  • Image quality: Fewer limitations on aperture size means that image quality could be much improved.
  • Compactness: Decreasing the depth of the lens stack would create the possibility of more compact and practical imaging devices.

Spectrum is currently developing a proof of concept telescope prototype that will utilize its patent pending Blade Optics™ technology, other optical elements and electronic components. The prototype is intended to demonstrate the marketable features of Spectrum's Blade Optics™ technology and its potential to serve as a platform to be used in various optical applications.
