EVERETT INFRARED PROVIDES EXPERTISE AND COMPREHENSIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT IN ELECTRO-OPTIC TECHNOLOGY TO ALL TYPES OF COMPANIES FROM THE SMALLEST START-UPs TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST CORPORATIONS
Everett Infrared is a sensor design and product development company that helps its customers integrate electro-optic sensors into their products and processes and take advantage both technically and economically of the ever more rapid advances in technology. Most sensor design and product development programs are undertaken on a fixed price basis. However, our substantial experience and expertise are also offered on a consulting basis to companies who need help in specific areas.

The objective of Everett Infrared is to provide state-of-the-art electro-optic technology to industry. Infrared technology in particular is finding wide spread application in everything from non-contact temperature measurement to the detection of minute (as well as not so minute) contaminants through spectral absorption. Many problems that have proved difficult or even intractable in the past often have simple and elegant electro-optic solutions. Everett Infrared is uniquely positioned to effectively use this technology to resolve these issues. We are a relatively small but highly qualified group of engineers and scientists. Everyone has at least twenty years of experience at the cutting edge of technology. Three of us have Ph.D.s (in physics, electrical engineering and chemistry), and everyone else in the group has at least one master's degree (including our machinist who is also our mechanical designer). Most of us have spent the majority of our careers in the aerospace and defense industry where this technology has been developed to its highest level. We are now applying the technology to a wide variety of industrial, commercial as well as military applications.
We can independently design the complete sensor or sensing subsystem and fabricate fully functional prototypes. Or we can provide our expertise to address any issue where it is needed assisting you with your own development. Depending on the project, we will work on either a fixed price basis or on a consulting (time and materials) basis. Our customers include some of the smallest companies, a large number of medium-sized companies and several of the world's largest corporations. All of our customers whether large or small receive the same total commitment to addressing their needs and providing them with the best possible solution to meet their requirement.
We design and build electro-optic sensors sensitive to wavelengths from long wave infrared through ultraviolet and x-rays
