Dear Reader, Christmas is here, and at Ibsen we look back at a great year, where we celebrated our 25 year anniversary. In 2016, we introduced several new innovative products such as our highly sensitive spectrometer for Raman applications - the EAGLE Raman-S. We also developed our own line of spectrometer electronics (DISB) offering fast and accurate timing. On the grating side, we released a number of new gratings for pulse stretching/compression as well as spectroscopy, while shipping 40% more gratings to customers than in 2015. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, suppliers and

Dear Reader, You get freedom in your design, when you choose our FREEDOM spectrometer. FREEDOM provides many different configurations and detector options and it allows the flexibility to use your own electronics or to go with our plug-and-play electronics. In addition, it is so small that it fits almost any size constraints. In this newsletter, we are highlighting our popular FREEDOM HR-VIS-NIR mini Raman spectrometer! And, we believe your future Raman projects could benefit from an Ibsen FREEDOM HR-VIS-NIR spectrometer. This FREEDOM actually went to Lake Untersee, Antarctica, with University of Innsbruck, where Klemens Weisleitner captured this exciting image of

When you are considering to buy a new spectrometer, you may have to decide whether you need one with a cooled detector or not. A cooled detector can provide low noise but is also bulky and expensive. We have put together a technical note with some practical guidelines on when to cool and when not to cool. One of the applications where cooling is often required is in Raman spectroscopy. In this newsletter, we are highlighting our high throughput, compact EAGLE SW-NIR spectrometer which is well suited for Raman and comes both with a cooled and a non-cooled detector. If

Ibsen offers a variant of the FREEDOM family of compact and high resolution spectrometers, the HR-DUV FHW-380, to complement the current HR-UV, HR-VIS, and HR-VIS-NIR. This deep UV spectrometer covers a wavelength range of 178 - 409 nm and a resolution of 0.3 nm. This feature set makes the HR-DUV ideal for integration into Industrial Laser Induced Breakdown spectroscopy instruments. [h3]FREEDOM HR-DUV[/h3] FREEDOM HR-DUV uses an innovative transmission grating, developed and manufactured by Ibsen Photonics. In contrast to typical blazed gratings, this new grating provides high and nearly constant diffraction efficiency over the entire 178 – 409 nm range for both polarizations.

We would like to take this opportunity to make you aware of the FREEDOM 101 series of spectrometers as an alternative to spectrometers using the obsolete Sony CCD. The CMOS line array used in our FREEDOM 101 series has roughly the same cost, sensitivity, and noise performance as the Sony CCD option. You can find more details in the technical note that highlights the results of comparative measurements we performed with the two detectors: [button url="https://ibsen.com/technology/detector-tutorial/comparison-of-sony-ilx511b-and-hamamatsu-s11639/" target="_blank" size="small" style="fire" icon="" popup="" title="Read more here"]Comparison of SONY ILX511B and Hamamatsu S11639[/button] FREEDOM 101 series  Ultra compact High resolution Wide bandwidth FSU-101
