Sunny Xinyang Optics, a subsidiary of Sunny Optical Technology, a Chinese manufacturer of integrated optical components and products, has signed a licensing arrangement with optical technology pioneer, VIAVI Solutions. Under the agreement, Sunny Xinyang will use VIAVI’s patent-protected low angle shift (LAS) filters used in the field of three-dimensional (3D) sensing technology.
VIAVI is a pioneer and world leader in the field of 3D sensing technology, including VIAVI’s state-of the art optical filters. In a typical gesture-recognition system, a light source emits near-infrared light towards a user and an optical filter is used to transmit the emitted light that is reflected by the user to a 3D image sensor, while substantially blocking ambient light. The patented VIAVI optical filters achieve superior optical performance, a desired reduction in filter thickness, and a reduced center wavelength shift with a change in incidence angle of the reflected light.
VIAVI’s leadership in optical filter technology is based on decades of development for military, industrial and consumer electronics applications. The company has successfully leveraged this technology for 3D sensing, and is driving business growth through engagement with major customers as well as licensing agreements with other manufacturers.
Sunny Optical Technology is a leading optical manufacture in China by its strong design capabilities and manufacturing know-how. Its aspherical lens application, Auto-Focus, Zoom and Multilayer coating with other optical core technologies are ranked at the top level in China. The group is mainly engaged in optical related product development, manufacturing and sales promotion covering optical parts, instruments and opt-electronic modules such as glass/plastic lens, mirror, prism, lens module, microscopic, metrology, analytical instrument, cell phone camera module etc.
The terms and conditions of the licensing arrangement are confidential and are not being disclosed.
