Microoptics

To date, the use of spectrometric methods has due to their complexity been restricted to the laboratory.

Using LIGA technology, Karlsruhe Research Center has developed the world’s smallest diffraction spectrometer and licensed it to Boehringer Ingelheim microParts.

The monolithic integration ensures maximum functional reliability as well as resistance to external influences. Using micro-injection molding, large quantities of uniform high quality spectrometers can be produced cost-effectively. With their compact dimensions and robustness these microspectrometers are ideal for use in mobile measuring and diagnostic equipment.

Microspectrometers

Innovative design as a monolithic structure and extremely precise mass production of microspectrometers form the basis for excellent technical properties at a favorable price. Based on microspectrometers, customer-specific solutions are developed, e.g. for fast, parallel analysis of microtiter plates.

Special features:

• monolithic design with no moving parts

• excellent resistance to thermal and mechanical influences

• wide range of applications thanks to the small dimensions and low costs

• flexible light coupling via glass fibers

• high sensitivity and optimized scattered light suppression allow a large dynamic range of 10.000 : 1
