Headwall Photonics Launches Raman Explorer™ Spectrometer
Innovative Multi-Channel, Multi-Spectrum Raman Product Features Industry-Leading Performance in Small Form Factor
Fitchburg, MA -- Headwall Photonics, a leader in nanophotonics manufacturing and spectrometry solutions for industry and defense, has launched the industry's first multi-channel, multi-spectral Raman spectrometer to meet industry requirements for high spectral performance in a very small form factor.
The Raman Explorer™ product is the first of a family of Raman products that addresses application-specific requirements for laboratory and OEM instrument customers. "There are tremendous benefits to analyzing extended wavelength ranges or multiple spectral ranges on a single detector plane," states David Bannon, Headwall's Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "These capabilities provide our OEM customers and end-users with a high-performance, cost-effective Raman tool. We've successfully deployed the Raman Explorer™ in a number of environments and customer response has been extremely positive."
The Raman Explorer™ introduces a new category of application-specific products based on Headwall's patented retro-reflective, concentric design for Raman analysis. Headwall's design innovation allows customers to apply high-performance analytical Raman techniques in both traditional laboratory environments as well as in commercial application areas such as industrial process monitoring and control where the multi-channel, multi-sensor design is well-suited.
Headwall Photonics will be exhibiting the Raman Explorer™ at Photonics West, Booth #5106, in San Jose, CA on January 24 – 28, 2005. The product will be highlighted at the New Product Spotlight scheduled for Wednesday, January 26, at 12:30pm in the San Jose Convention Center, Hall 1.
Headwall Photonics leverages its expertise in nanophotonics engineering and high volume manufacturing to produce a portfolio of spectral engines and optical subsystems for the analytical, life sciences, pharmaceutical, and telecommunications industries. The company was founded in 2003 after a management buyout of an optical division of Agilent Technologies (formerly American Holographic). With extensive design capabilities which allow for rapid prototyping, Headwall's core technology is based around the design and manufacture of application-specific spectral engines with embedded original diffraction gratings. Headwall's products include application-specific single- and dual-beam spectral engines and high-performance imaging and non-imaging spectrographs. The company is the world's leading manufacturer of original holographic diffraction gratings.
