Infrared Instrumentation Leader Secures Exclusive Use of Vantablack Coating
SANTA BARBARA, CA – Surrey NanoSystems and Santa Barbara Infrared have reached an agreement concerning rights to the use of ultra-black Vantablack S-VIS surface coating in blackbody calibration sources.
The broadband absorption of Vantablack S-VIS makes it ideally suited to enhancing the performance and utility of Santa Barbara Infrared’s (SBIR) precision electro-optical instrumentation, reinforcing its leadership position in military, aerospace IR/FLIR testing and simulation markets. Initially, SBIR is using Surrey NanoSystems' UK facility to apply the Vantablack coating, while it establishes a local facility to serve the North American defense, aerospace and electro-optical markets.
