Applied Optics

We build advanced optical measurement systems for industrial and commercial applications. Our solutions are based on a fundamental understanding of physics, optics and spectroscopy. We are experienced in designing and integrating sensor solutions in the real world, and providing an objective validation of performance.

How we work
The starting point, when a client come to us with measurement challenge, is to determine if it has the potential to be solved using an optical system. We develop optical systems where off-the-shelf technology does not exist or where existing technology needs to be evaluated or further adapted for it to function in the desired environment. Our role is to carefully go through the challenge with the client to see if we are a suitable partner, determine the best measurement principle, and design a suitable system for testing this measurement principle. By building robust optical prototypes, we move quickly from the lab to the field, gaining a fuller understanding of our clients' measurement environments and the online performance of the measurement system. We can also work closely both technology providers and end-users of technology to optimise existing technology for a specific purpose.

Applied Spectroscopy

Applied Spectroscopy

When light interacts with matter, its behaviour varies across different wavelengths depending on the material’s physical and chemical properties. Spectroscopy involves measuring these wavelength-dependent interactions—the spectral response—to gain...

Gas and Air Monitoring

Gas and Air Monitoring

We have developed online detection systems for detecting and quantifying gas, dust and particles.

Robust Optics for Image Sensing

Robust Optics for Image Sensing

When spatial or depth-resolved information is needed beyond single-point measurements, we develop robust optical solutions for 2D and 3D imaging systems.
