EssentOptics Spectrophotometers

A spectrophotometer is an instrument used to measure light transmission/reflection at different wavelengths for samples. It is commonly used in the fields of chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and molecular biology.

A spectrophotometer works by passing a beam of light through a sample and measuring the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted/reflected by the sample at different wavelengths. The basic components of a spectrophotometer include a light source, a monochromator or wavelength selector, a sample holder, and a detector.

EssentOptics develops high-accuracy spectrophotometers for coaters focusing exclusively on optical measuring needs. Wavelength Opto-Electronic is the partner of EssentOptics brand of spectrophotometers for Singapore.

  • PHOTON RT

The PHOTON RT UV-VIS-MWIR scanning spectrophotometer is designed specifically for unattended measurement of optical samples with coatings. The instrument is produced in six configurations relative to the effective wavelength range - from 185 nm up to 5200 nm.

  • LINZA 150

The LINZA 150 spectrophotometer is designed for broadband transmittance and reflectance measurement of lenses and lens assemblies (objectives), adding a whole new dimension to your optical metrology capabilities.

Indeed, lenses come in a vast variety of sizes and shapes which makes them extremely difficult to measure. Given the inherent challenges in measuring transmittance or reflectance on lenses, optical engineers often need to combine data from several witness samples in order to tease out basic details about the optical performance of a lens. However, due to the nature of any deposition technology, the coating on lenses differs from that on the witness sample. An even more insurmountable barrier is the need to measure the off-axis performance of the optical lens.

With LINZA 150, you get transmission data on the axis and reflection data at any point of the lens surface, fully unattended. This ensures that only perfect lenses with perfect coatings are delivered to customers and approved for lens assemblies. This valuable data also helps our customers to backward analyze and improve their deposition technology.

LINZA 150 Spectrophotometer is also a great instrument for your QA/QC lab ensuring that lenses from your supplier meet your specs. The instrument is perfectly suited for both routine lens measurements and sophisticated improvement of lens coating technology.
