SpectroSens - 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 
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.
