OEM spectrometers for light and display characterization

Enabling instrument makers to build high performance spectral tools for lighting and display measurements

Modern light sources, luminaires, and displays rely on LEDs, OLEDs, and other narrowband emitters that require precise spectral characterization to ensure accurate color, brightness, and uniformity. Applications such as LED binning, luminaire quality control, and display calibration all depend on stable and repeatable spectral data across the visible range.

Ibsen Photonics provides OEM spectrometers designed specifically for these needs. Our fused silica transmission grating technology delivers high throughput, low stray light, and excellent wavelength stability across the full visible range defined in common lighting and display standards. For applications extending beyond the visible, we also offer UV and NIR configurations with the same high sensitivity and robust performance.

Where is optical spectroscopy used in the light and display industry?

LED binning

LEDs must be sorted by wavelength, color point, and luminous output to meet tight product specifications. OEM instruments for binning require spectrometers with high throughput, low stray light, and excellent wavelength stability to ensure consistent classification across large production volumes. Fast acquisition and repeatable performance are essential for automated high‑speed binning systems.

Luminaire characterization

Luminaires are evaluated for color temperature, CRI, spectral power distribution, and long‑term stability. Instruments used for this purpose depend on spectrometers with strong sensitivity in the visible range, robust thermal stability, and low noise at short integration times. Compact, rugged designs are important for integrating into portable field testers as well as production‑line measurement systems.

Display quality control

Modern displays require precise control of color accuracy, brightness uniformity, and spectral consistency across panels. OEM display measurement systems rely on spectrometers with high resolution, excellent repeatability, and stable wavelength calibration. Fast readout and compact form factors are critical for integration into automated inspection tools used in high‑throughput display manufacturing.

Our Spectrometers for light and display characterization

All Ibsen spectrometers are built around our proprietary, in‑house manufactured fused‑silica transmission gratings, which deliver the world’s best diffraction efficiency. Our modules are engineered to be compact, rugged, and thermally stable, enabling instrument designers to focus on system‑level innovation rather than the spectrometer itself.

For developers of instruments for visible light spectroscopy, we offer three core platforms that can be tailored to specific performance requirements:

  • PEBBLE: Ultra‑compact and highly efficient spectrometers.

  • FREEDOM HR: Compact, high‑resolution spectrometers.

  • ROCK: High‑throughput engines designed for maximum sensitivity

If you need spectral analysis in the UV, VIS‑NIR, NIR, or combined UV‑VIS‑NIR ranges, we also offer several additional spectrometer options to choose from.

We commonly customize OEM spectrometers to specific instrument requirements ensuring the right balance between cost and performance.
