You probably from time to time need to do some quick evaluation of various optical designs for a spectroscopic system. And you don't want to spend days running a full numerical calculation tool like Zemax or CODES. Very often, you need to cover a specific wavelength range with a certain resolution and want to evaluate how different detector widths, grating groove densities, and image magnifications will affect your focal lengths and slit sizes. To do that, we have created a handful of guides and calculators that we ourselves find very useful. These include: Spectrometer design technical note Detector selection guide Spectrometer design

Ibsen is introducing a new spectrometer platform specifically targeted Optical Coherence Tomography. From this platform, Ibsen has just launched an 840 nm highly efficient new EAGLE OCT-S spectrometer with best in class optical throughput and compact size for Spectral Domain OCT. https://ibsen.com/products/oem-spectrometers/eagle/ comprises high resolution, compact, and robust spectrometers, suited for OEM integration into medical and industrial-grade instruments for applications like Raman and SD-OCT. The new EAGLE OCT-S EOS-121 spectrometer is very compact due to the use of Ibsen Photonics’ in-house produced wide bandwidth transmission gratings. These unique gratings furthermore enable us to offer higher efficiency than any competing technology. The wavelength range

  In this post, we are focusing on your Raman system, by looking further into Raman spectroscopy, which is a molecular spectroscopic technique providing information about molecular vibrations that can be used for sample identification and quantitation. Raman spectroscopy has some very unique advantages and is used in many different fields where a non-destructive, microscopic, chemical analysis and imaging is required. This is especially ideal for the pharmaceutical industry where this technique is used for incoming raw material inspection as well as for final quality inspection of tablets. You can find more information about Raman and the different products Ibsen

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 possible.

[hr] 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
