PEBBLE spectrometers
Ultra-compact and cost-efficient OEM spectrometer modules
The PEBBLE family of spectrometers offers cost-efficient mini spectrometer modules for OEM manufacturers of analytical instruments that do not want to sacrifice performance and robustness for compactness. Various wavelength bands ranging from the visible to the near-infrared are supported through our different PEBBLE variants.
The high sensitivity of our PEBBLE spectrometers is made possible by our unique in-house manufactured transmission gratings with the world's best diffraction efficiency. Due to the small form factor, PEBBLE spectrometers are ideal as the multi-spectral sensor in handheld and portable devices for fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy. Applications include the agricultural, pharma, bio-analytical and medical industries.
Key benefits
If the specifications of our standard PEBBLE configurations do not match your requirements, Ibsen can customize a PEBBLE spectrometer to meet your exact needs.
The world’s best broadband gratings
The high sensitivity of our PEBBLE spectrometers is made possible by our unique in-house manufactured transmission gratings.
Our gratings provide unparalleled high broadband efficiency, enabled by optimized groove profiles, a thin optical path, and a high refractive index contrast. The inherent nature of fused silica ensures our gratings are thermally stable, while working in transmission providing angle insensitivity and vibrational stability.
We design our PEBBLE spectrometers to perfectly match and supplement the performance of our gratings, but we also supply gratings for use in your own spectrometer design.

Ibsen as your spectrometer manufacturer
At Ibsen, we understand that volume manufacturing of application-specific spectrometers is a completely different task than building a single scientific instrument. We are an ISO 9001 and 13485 certified manufacturer with decades of experience in volume manufacturing of OEM spectrometers.
Our emphasis is on the high and consistent quality of our products, ensured through our proven, robust designs and 100% outgoing inspection. Our low unit-to-unit variation can help you achieve a lean manufacturing process and deliver products with a consistently high quality to your customers.
Our spectrometer designs have undergone environmental qualification to ensure proper operation within specified thermal, humidity, vibrational, and drop test conditions.
We have established long-term relationships with a range of qualified sub-suppliers, ensuring you a stable supply chain. Furthermore, we offer our OEM customers flexible supply options, typically based on frame order contracts or Kanban agreements.
All in all, Ibsen Photonics is a well-established spectrometer supplier that enables you to focus on your core business.
