This
year, Ocean Optics celebrated 15 years as a pioneering developer and market
leader in the manufacture of miniature spectrometers and optical-sensing
components. From our humble beginnings as a garage-shop operation with
just a handful of products, Ocean Optics has grown to six locations worldwide with nearly 900 spectrometers and accessories.
Our spectrometers have been used in thousands of applications, from the volcanologist who duct-taped the spectrometer to a bicycle helmet as he ventured inside an active site to monitor sulphur dioxide levels, to the NASA researcher who strapped the spectrometer to a reentry rocket to measure its exhaust plume.
With over 90,000 spectrometers sold and over 15 years
in business, we have managed to accrue a lot of knowledge -- knowledge
that we would like to share with you in our technical whitepapers.
