LightPath Technologies, Inc. announced its participation at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing (DCS) 2024, taking place April 21 - 25, 2024, in National Harbor, Maryland. At the event, LightPath will be showcasing several new products and technologies, such as its BlackDiamond glass. Specifically, the BlackDiamond BDNL-4 material announced in early April, is generating significant interest as a viable alternative to Germanium for defense applications, due to its unique property of a negative thermo-optic coefficient.

Defense applications are the fastest growing business segment for LightPath Technologies, having recently announced two new major programs of record totaling a potential revenue opportunity of over $100 million with Lockheed Martin and the US DoD. Furthermore, the Company will showcase its infrared cameras, focusing on Mantis, a broadband camera that images simultaneously in both mid-wave and long-wave spectral bands, making it uniquely positioned for defense and sensing.
