SpectroSens detection systemSpectroSens - Biochemical Detection and Analysis

SpectroSens is a  biochemical sensor providing real-time detection and analysis of biomolecular and chemical interactions using Stratophase's proprietary optical integrated chip technology. The chips are 'monolithic' devices with no moving parts made from silicon and glass and are robust, small and low-cost. Each chip contains multiple sensing areas, and is self-referenced to remove temperature effects. Liquid samples can be brought to the sensing areas either all together or independently. Detection systems, complete with readout and fluidic control are now available. 
SpectroSens chips are ideally suited to biochemcial detection, process control, affinity and binding kinetics analysis, drug discovery, food processing and other markets which can benefit from precise refractive index mesurement.

Wavelength Conversion - Mid IR and PPLN second harmonic generation illustration

Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate, PPLN, is a highly efficent wavelength conversion crystal, enabling conversion of light from low-cost lasers to other colours that would normally be very difficult to produce. One of the major applications of PPLN is generation of tuneable mid-IR 1.3 - 5µm for use in chemical detection, spectroscopy and IR countermeasures, another is the high efficency generation of the correct wavelength (red, green and blue) for display projectors. 
Stratophase produces the Stratolase range of turn-key mid-IR sources, in addition to PPLN crystals for OEM manufacturers and a wide range of laboratory crystals and accessories.
