BFi OPTiLAS and Amplification Technologies Inc, a subsidiary of Powersafe technology (PSFT), are proud to announce their exclusive European Distribution Partnership.
BFi OPTiLAS is the largest Photonic distributor in Europe and Amplification Technologies has developed a new approach for the detection of low-level signals - multichannel Discrete Amplification (DA) - that allows the simultaneous attainment of very high gain, high speed and ultra-low excess noise in a silicon or InGaAs device.

The Discrete Amplification (DA) involves three basic functions: Distributing individual signal electrons into a separate independent amplification channel, Amplifying each individual signal electron in a separate channel to a readable charge packet and Reading the amplified charge packets.
The benefits of that unique technology include Single photon level sensitivity, Wide spectral range, Relatively flat spectral sensitivity curve, Excellent voltage and thermal stability, High photon detection efficiency, Wide dynamic range, Fast response, high reliability and low production cost.

It can provide a new performance level to many applications such as PET Scanners, Medical Imaging, Fluorescence Detection, High Energy Physics, Spectroscopy, Biological Sensors, Ladar and Lidar, Homeland Security, Confocal Microscopy, Night Vision and many others.

About PowerSafe Technology Corp. (PSFT) Based in New York, PowerSafe Technology Inc. (www.psftinc.com), through its wholly owned subsidiary Amplification Technologies, (www.ampti.net) seeks to transform the field of low-level signal detection. The company’s patented platform semiconductor technology has the potential to offer unparalleled and far-reaching benefits to industries such as medical diagnostics, drug development, scientific instrumentation and homeland security. The technology has been successfully used to develop extremely sensitive detectors of low levels of light and the company believes its detectors will be used in many existing applications as well as open up new markets. ATI’s technology is patented to encompass detection of signals other than light, and could in principle be used to create highly sensitive biological, radiological, electrical, and chemical sensors.

BFi OPTiLAS will market the Wireless IC product line throughout Europe.

"In our opinion, BFi OPTiLAS offer the best combination of industry knowledge and local presence in the areas of interest, and hence were the natural choice for us", said Dr. Andreas Laute, Business Unit Manager RF at MELEXIS.

"We are pleased to distribute the Wireless IC product portfolio of MELEXIS in the European marketplace", says Ernesto Prestifilippo, Business Development Director at BFi OPTiLAS.

"The MELEXIS products have the cost effective, high-end performance that customers are looking for today."

BFi OPTiLAS is proposing in all Europe the new FieldPRo5XS continuous zoom thermal imager, made by Axsys Infrared Systems (Nashua, USA).

With outstanding long range target detection and recognition, the FieldPro5XS combines exceptional performance with Axsys reliability and ease of use. Built around a high sensitivity 640x480 pixels (15μ-pitch) cooled InSb detector, this camera operates in the MWIR (3-5 microns) Bandwidth. The waterproof housing, graded IP67 is environmentally sealed and dry nitrogen backfilled. The 5X continuous zoom Germanium Lens covers Medium (5°) to Narrow (1°) Horizontal Field of View.

This camera can detect a man in full night up to 8 km away, and a vehicle up to a distance of 19km.

BFi OPTiLAS is distributing in all Europe the Pan&Tilt Platforms made in USA by Directed Perception. The Pan&Tilt devices can be used for multiple usage like computer-controlled positioning of lasers, microwave antennas, thermal cameras, video cameras, IP cameras, and more for harsh all weather environments.

Directed Perception's pan & tilt devices offer high speed, precision, durability, and small form factors. Directed Perception serves systems integrators and OEMs in mission-critical applications including surveillance, sensor fusion, automated detection and tracking, robotics, communications, border security, and automated test in military and aerospace.

There are currently 3 models, the PTU-D47, very small form factor, which can handle up to 4kg payload at speed up to 300°/second, the new PTU-D100, compact form factor, can handle up to 10kg payload at speed up to 150°/second, and the PTU-D300, medium form factor, can handle up to 20kg payload at speed up to 100°/second. All 3 models are available with the 360° continuous rotation (slip-rings), Low-cost 3-axis gyrostabilization, Geo-pointing module / GPS and IP-network interface.

BFi OPTiLAS' team is very proud to announce the extension of it exclusive distribution agreement with Labsphere to Austria, France, Germany and Switzerland, on top of Italy, Portugal and Spain where the 2 companies already collaborate successfully.

BFi OPTiLAS, thanks to its collaboration with Trek, Inc. (a designer and manufacturer of high-performance electrostatic instrumentation and high-voltage power amplifiers), recently introduced the TREK Model 900 ESD Event Detector. This detector is a diagnostic tool for manufacturing environments that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), including electronic, semiconductor & medical device manufacturing and assembly. Electrostatic discharge events are important indicators of excessive charge accumulation in a given environment. Such charge accumulation (electrostatic charging) can be detrimental to ESD-sensitive manufacturing and assembly processes such as those found in the semiconductor industry. ESD can also be a concern in the manufacture of electronics and other devices, including sensitive medical electronics, microelectronics, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), hard disk drives, microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS), and in various sectors of the electronic manufacturing services (EMS) industry.

Trek's ESD Event Detector is a diagnostic tool used to identify incidents of or verify suspected areas of ESD activity within a manufacturing site. A voltage-sensitive antenna on the unit can be positioned near potential problem areas (where electrostatic discharge is suspected) to monitor ESD events. Detection is conveyed via an audible buzzer and/or a visual color-coded light display which depicts intensity.

By detecting ESD events, Model 900 serves to alert manufacturing engineers to the presence of potentially harmful (and invisible) electrostatic charging. Such identification is often the first step in managing ESD. Once alerted to its presence, action can be taken to rectify the situation and thereby improve overall efficiency, yield and productivity.

Model 900 is compact, portable and is powered by batteries. A universal power adapter can be used for continuous AC line operation. Model 900 is also CE compliant. The technical design of the unit provides a wide spatial operating range with high sensitivity.

Trek's Model 900 is designed for Charge Device Model (CDM) events which are becoming the major contributor to ESD failures, in connection with increases in the automation of manufacturing processes.
