How We Work

With 25 years of experience the core of our business is flexibility, technical expertise, and a collaborative approach to solving complex optical challenges. Here's how we can work with you:

Subcontracting and System Development

We collaborate with companies, research institutions, and government agencies as subcontractors to design and develop advanced optical systems. Our team specializes in compact and handheld dispersive and Fourier Transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectrometer platforms. Whether the need is prototyping, optimization, or full system development, we bring deep experience in miniaturization, ruggedization, and system integration.

SBIR Collaboration and Leadership

We are highly experienced with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and welcome opportunities to collaborate with other companies on their SBIR proposals. We are also fully capable of leading SBIR projects from proposal through commercialization. Our track record includes successful submissions, execution, and product development in both Phase I and Phase II stages.

Custom Spectrometer Solutions

We offer customizable dispersive and FT-Raman spectrometers tailored to your application requirements. From initial consultation to final design, we work closely with clients to ensure the system specifications match the intended use case—whether it's in the lab, in the field, or embedded in another product.

Contract Research Services

In addition to product development, we offer contract research services. Our scientific team can support your research and development goals with targeted investigations, feasibility studies, proof-of-concept development, and technology validation in areas related to spectroscopy, optical sensing, and chemical detection.
