Ophir-Spiricon Opens New Clean Room for Production of Solid-State, Pyroelectric DetectorArrays for Laser Beam Profiling Cameras

June 27, 2011 – Ophir Photonics Group, announces at the opening of a clean room at its new facility in Logan, Utah. The 840 square foot clean room is used for manufacturing the solidstate, pyroelectric detector arrays used in the company’s Pyrocam™ beam profiling cameras. The new clean room houses photolithography and thin film deposition processes. Yellow lighting is used to prevent premature exposure of the photolithography materials used, similar to a “safe light” in a darkroom. The clean room complies with ISO 7 standards for airflow and filtration. Humidity and temperature are tightly controlled. An airlock and protective clothing are also used to decrease contamination.
