IS-Instruments Spectrometers
Our spectrometers use an optical fibre rather than a slit to allow the laser to reach its target. The benefit of this is less light ‘wasted’, allowing our spectrometers to have a higher throughput/etendue than traditional instruments.
We have developed a deep-UV instrument, Odin, for which our base technology lends itself well, using a self-aligning diode laser that eliminates the need for air purging.
We’ve also developed an instrument that uses a patented hollow-core microfibre to perform gas Raman measurements, detecting multiple gas species on-site.
Some of the industries we work with:
- Nuclear / Nuclear Decommissioning
- High-value Manufacturing & Process Industries
- Pharmaceutical
- Biopharmaceutical
- Oil & Gas
Our Products
Our range of spectrometers and laser-based instrumentation includes the world’s highest throughput Raman spectrometer, Raman probes suitable for extreme environments, bespoke LIDAR solutions, and a WiFi-enabled miniature spectrometer.
Developing the tools for the future
Drawing on our space heritage and working with partners across academia and industry, we’re developing instrumentation to deliver remote sensing solutions for previously unsolved challenges.
