Houston, TX--Optics technology start-up Rebellion Photonics has leased 5,269 sq. ft. of office space at the Plaza Park Business Center, a medical-themed Community Center located in Houston's Medical Center District, to serve as the company's corporate headquarters.

The company is currently targeting the $3.7B rig safety market with its Gas Cloud hyperspectral imaging (HSI) camera, which incorporates the company's portable snapshot HSI technology. The technology, which has garnered numerous awards and has received over $3 million in research grants, enables detection of an object's chemical composition while instantaneously capturing the chemical's image with a real-time video camera. Additional applications for the technology include defense, biological research, food contamination detection, quality control, and forensics.
