[h2]Digital Micromirror Device[/h2] Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have become more and more attractive in recent years because they are small, cost effective, easy to manufacture and insensitive to electro-magnetic interference. The basic principle of FBG sensing is to measure the reflected spectrum and to track the FBG peak positions. Due to the availability of low-cost tele-communications equipment, the most common and commercially available FBGs work in the 1550 nm range. However, this requires use of expensive 1550 nm InGaAs array detectors to interrogate the sensors. In this newsletter, we present a novel type of multichannel MEMS based spectrometer, where the linear

  Ibsen Photonics is participating in a EU Horizon 2020 project, GALAHAD, aimed at developing high resolution OCT for glaucoma diagnosis. GALAHAD stands for Glaucoma-Advanced, Label-Free High Resolution Automated OCT Diagnosis, and the project was initiated in December 2016. Ocular damage caused by glaucoma Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage to the eye’s optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss. It is the second largest cause of blindness. It is not possible to cure glaucoma or restore lost vision, but disease progress can be halted with current methods, hence it is important to diagnose as early as

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

Spectrometers are an essential part of many analytical instruments. Selecting the right spectrometer for your specific application is, however, not a simple task. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" spectrometer. So, you have to select the best option based on the relative importance of size, cost, sensitivity, speed and a lot of other parameters. To help you in this selection process, we have collected a range of useful guides in this e-mail. We hope you will find it helpful and we are always happy to receive feedback such that we can make these guides even better. How
