Researchers have developed a new imaging spectrometer that is much lighter and smaller than state-of-the-art instruments while maintaining the same high level of performance. Because of its small size ...

The combination of broadband light sources with the path length enhancement achievable with an optical cavity allows for spectrally resolved optical extinction. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are high ...

Lighting and display manufacturers must ensure their products are consistent in their light output, making them reliant on effective quality control methods. Their products must be validated, and ...

Hamamatsu Photonics's C10988MA-01 is a unique, ultra-compact spectrometer built using MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. Measuring only 27.6 x 13 x 16.8 mm, the spectrometer was ...
