Based on a sensitive HgCdTe FPA, and integrating a four-stage TE cooler, the ZephIR delivers an astounding 345 frame-per-second rate while reaching unrivalled low noise levels. Perfectly adapted for industrial applications in quality control and sorting as well as for scientific research.

The laser line tunable filter (LLTF) is a non-dispersive tunable bandpass filter based on volume holographic gratings. It delivers the highest signal throughput in the industry and is also unique in that it combines very high optical density (> od6) and outstanding out-of-band rejection with wide tunability. A single filter can be tuned from 400 nm to 1000 nm (VIS) or 1000 nm to 2300 nm (SWIR).The out-of-band rejection and the optical density (OD) are two critical specifications of tunable filters. Unfortunately, these properties are often misinterpreted and their definitions tend to differ from one manufacturer to another. End users need to be careful when looking at the specifications of a filter. Also, the measurement of these properties for customers can be laborious. One needs to have sensitive instruments with a high dynamic range, a wide spectral range and a high power source. In this white paper, clear and rigorous definitions of the out-of-band rejection and the OD of widely tunable filters are presented, and the steps and instrumentation needed to accurately measure those specifications are exposed.

The global hyperspectral Raman imager (rima) developed by photon etc. Offers a unique solution for rapid spectral and spatial characterization of advanced materials over large areas (up to 1 mm x 1 mm and more). The rima system captures monochromatic images of the entire field of view, wavelength after wavelength, using the unique photon etc imaging filter technology. Rima is at the forefront of Raman microscopy; it is an essential system that provides accurate information on growth, population distribution, uniformity, stress, and other critical properties. By combining this rich information obtained from Raman spectroscopic fingerprints with the speed of global hyperspectral imaging, rima extends the limits of sample analysis and is a powerful non-invasive imaging modality for material (rima nano) and biomedical (rima Biomed) sciences.

Perfectly adapted for challenging scientific applications. Characteristics:- 345 frame-per-second- TEC 4 stages- low noise level- InGaAs FPA- 0.5 to 1.7 m

Allowing you to completely characterize your target with full-resolution images at any wavelength within 900-2500 nm, Photon Etc.s S-EOS will change your view of spectral analysis. Acquisition of an optimized hyperspectral cube permits spectral analysis of each and every pixel of a full-resolution image, meaning no more fastidious XY scanning of samples or limiting exposure time of remote sensing acquisitions. Resulting in more than just an increase in efficiency, S-EOS provides data on both spectral and spatial content, allowing you to perform novel analysis by extending the frontiers of your most demanding applications.

Photon etc. Offers complex material analysis (gaas, sic, cdte, cis, cigs) using hyperspectral imaging of diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence and electroluminescence. Our technology is based on high throughput global imaging filters, faster and more efficient than spectrograph based hyperspectral systems.Imaging from 400 to 1000 nm with a bandwidth of 2.5 nm or from 900 to 1700 nm with a bandwidth of 4 nm, photon etc.s ima is capable of measuring optoelectrical properties such as voltage open circuit and external quantum efficiency and allows precise detection and characterization of defects in materials. Researchers and qc analysts will greatly benefit from this innovation.Also, nir hyperspectral microscopy is ideal for the spatial and spectral identification and measurement of fluorophores that emit in the second biological window.With the possible integration of a darkfield illumination module, it becomes an exceptional tool to detect the composition and the location of nanomaterials embedded in cells. Applications: characterization of solar cells; quality control of semiconductor devices; map of composition, defects, stress, constraint, etc.; monitor spectral information; changes in intensity of single emitters; shifts in wavelength; spectral bandwidth variations. An example: single wall nanotubes (swnts) emission bands are narrow ( 20 nm) and each band corresponds to unique (n, m) species (chiralities). With ir hyperspectral microscopy, it is possible to separate these species, with single swnt spatial resolution on surfaces, in live cells (in vivo), and in vitro.In vivo applications: imaging of multiplexed emitters; long-term sensing;
