Co-founder and CEO Stratio, California, United States
As a company, our goal is to bring infrared imaging to the mass market by addressing unequal access to this technology caused by existing technology on the market being too expensive, complicated and bulky for the general public to benefit from. Traditional SWIR imaging necessitates indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) sensors, which demand low-yield and high-cost bump-bonding processes. Because of its high cost and high-power consumption, InGaAs SWIR sensors hindered the widespread adoption of SWIR imaging. To solve this issue, Stratio has demonstrated a low-cost and low-power SWIR sensor based on another material, germanium (Ge). Stratio's Ge sensor is >20x lower cost, >10x lower power, >5x lower weight than a conventional InGaAs-based SWIR sensor by design.
Stratio's core technology is the world's first germanium (Ge)-based SWIR image sensor. This innovative, low-cost image sensor captures light from 400 nm to 1600 nm wavelength and enables a broader material measurement scope. Stratio offers AI-assisted Visible and Infrared Imaging solutions for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), Medical Imaging, Precision Farming, Forensic, and Food/Plastic Sorting.
