poLight ASA Collaborates with Image Quality Labs on M12-based Raspberry Pi TLens Studio for AI-driven Industrial Machine Vision Applications

TØNSBERG, Norway -- 17 December, 2025 - poLight ASA

(https://www.polight.com/home/default.aspx) (OSE: PLT) and Image Quality Labs

(https://www.imagequalitylabs.com/) (IQL) today announced the development of

an M12-based Raspberry Pi TLens® Studio evaluation and development platform,

utilizing the new line of TLens® off-the-shelf (OTS) focusing camera lens.

This platform enables machine vision design engineers to quickly and easily

evaluate high speed, constant field-of-view focusing functionality on their

existing embedded computing platforms. Initially available in a 7.5mm focal

length, the prototype will be available for private viewing in the poLight

suite at CES (https://www.ces.tech/) (6-9 January) and in both the poLight

(#6317) and Image Quality Labs (#6716) booths at SPIE

(https://spie.org/conferences-and-exhibitions/photonics-west) (20-23 January).

Historically, industrial machine vision OEMs have been forced to rely on fixed

focus cameras with a small aperture to achieve sufficient depth of focus,

hindering advanced imaging for factory and warehouse automation, barcode

scanners and embedded cameras. Delivering a small, cost-competitive OTS

solution with constant field-of-view focusing which is based on a standard

sensor platform enables industrial machine vision OEMs to quickly ramp their

advanced technology.

| "poLight is committed to building an ecosystem of integrators and solution

| providers addressing AI-driven imaging challenges," said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen,

| CEO of poLight ASA. "By collaborating with Image Quality Labs, we are

| delivering a key aspect that solves machine vision imaging barriers in a

| variety of applications."

| "At IQL, our customers are continually looking for ways to push image

| quality, autofocus performance, and system responsiveness," said Jason Cope,

| Founder & CEO of Image Quality Labs. "This Raspberry Pi TLens® Studio

| platform provides a plug-and-play way to evaluate TLens® behavior in

| minutes, not months. Partnering with poLight allows us to bring advanced

| focusing capabilities directly into the hands of machine vision developers."

The M12-based Raspberry Pi TLens® Studio platform leverages poLight's

ultra-fast (~1ms), ultra-low power-consuming (~1mW) TLens®, enabling design

engineers to rapidly set and change object/focal distances to accommodate

different scenarios. The OTS lenses will be available at 6mm, 7.5mm, 13mm and

19mm focal lengths, in production volume by Q1 2026.

The IQL TLens® RPi 5 Evaluation Kit is a new development platform

purpose-built to help engineers rapidly evaluate poLight's TLens® constant

field-of-view focusing technology on modern embedded systems. Designed around

the Raspberry Pi 5 and an M12 optical architecture, the kit will initially

support IQL's TLens-enabled camera modules built on the Sony IMX462 and Sony

IMX900 image sensors, two industry-proven platforms for low-light, high-speed,

and machine-vision applications.

The evaluation kit provides a turnkey pathway for developers to test TLens®

performance, integrate with their existing software stacks, and accelerate

camera-driven innovation in industrial automation, robotics, edge AI, and

inspection systems. The IQL TLens® RPi 5 Evaluation Kit, along with the first

IMX462 and IMX900-based TLens® camera modules, will be available in limited

early-access quantities in Q1 2026.

About poLight ASA

poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) offers a patented, proprietary tunable optics

technology, starting with its first product, TLens® which replicates "the

human eye" experience in autofocus cameras used in devices such as

smartphones, wearables, barcode scanners, machine vision systems and various

medical equipment. poLight's TLens® enables better system performance and new

user experiences due to benefits such as extremely fast focus, small

footprint, no magnetic interference, low power consumption and constant field

of view. poLight is based in Tønsberg, Norway, with employees in Finland,

France, UK, US, China, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. For more
