FirstIgnite is supporting the commercialization of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s shortwave infrared imaging system technology. This technology utilizes a fiber optic bundle, distal lens, illumination assembly, and imaging detector to focus shortwave infrared wavelengths, enabling imaging in challenging environments like the human body and inaccessible machinery areas.

This technology has several applications including in the medical field, industrial sectors requiring inspection of confined spaces in machinery, and infrastructure management. The medical imaging market size is projected to be worth $48.8 billion by 2032, up from $29.2 billion in 2022.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s shortwave infrared imaging system technology is ready for collaboration (licensing, partnerships, industry feedback, etc.).
