Lightpath technologies, inc. announces availability of diamond like carbon coating production capability

Lightpath technologies, inc. announced the availability of diamond like carbon (dlc) coating at production quantities for its proprietary bd6 chalcogenide glass materials product line. this marks a new manufacturing process from the company which enables lightpath to enter into markets for commercial applications for bd6 lenses that include cameras and other sporting and outdoor products designed for search and rescue, thermal imaging assemblies for low cost sensors, nature observation, hunting, maritime navigation and other applications. lightpath's proprietary chalcogenide material, black diamond marketed under the bd6 brand, is an excellent replacement for germanium optics and has many superior characteristics, such as it containing no rare earths, is lighter and has a wider thermal operating range. these advantages led to lightpath reporting in the most recent fiscal quarter a 250% increase year-over-year in the number of units sold for its new line of bd6 lenses. limiting additional demand was that bd6 glass is a softer material which, until now, was a deterrent to its use in applications where exposure to the elements was required. lightpath's new dlc coating resolves this issue to stabilize the outer surface of the lens and essentially impenetrable to external factors.
