About Us
Salvo Coatings, formerly Pixelteq, combines the microlithographic processes of the semiconductor industry with the precision of optical thin film coatings to create a wide range of multispectral and hyperspectral sensing and imaging products. Products include Hyperspectral point sensing and linescan cameras using Linear Variable filter technology, Multispectral point sensing and 2D cameras using pixelated dielectric filters as well as polarimetric imagers using nano imprint lithography. These products enable key technologies in the Industrial, Biomedical, Lifesciences, Environmental, Defense, and Agricultural Industries.
At the heart of each multispectral device is an array of pixel-level spectral filters purpose-built for your application. Leveraging comprehensive know-how in thin film coating, micro-patterning and electro-optical integration, our specialists collaborate with your team to provide expert design assistance and custom-engineered solutions – from rapid prototyping through high-volume OEM production.
