Labsphere Marks 30 Years Of Excellence In Light Measurement

In 1979 Phillip Lape founded Labsphere, the first commercial manufacturer of integrating spheres, paving the way for the company to become a world leader in light testing and measurement, and optical coatings. Three decades later, Labsphere has designed, tested, and calibrated thousands of light metrology and spectroscopy systems, and finished or machined millions of components with its near-Lambertian reflectance coatings and materials. This year, the company celebrates 30 years, with a reception at Photonics West.

In addition to the new products and technologies developed over the years, Labsphere has also firmly established a reputation for its applications expertise and customer service. The company's engineering staff often collaborates with customers, creating custom system and component designs to meet emerging industry needs.

Labsphere will mark three decades of cutting edge light measurement and reflectance technologies at Photonics West with a reception at the company's booth, 541, at 4 p.m. Tuesday, January 27. The celebration will include food and drink, as well as the opportunity to socialize and view Labsphere's latest products. The event is open to all Photonics West attendees.

Part of the global Halma group of technology companies, Labsphere (www.labsphere.com) is a world leader in light testing and measurement and diffuse optical coatings. The company's products include LED, laser and traditional light source light measurement systems; uniform light sources for imaging device calibration; spectroscopy accessories; and high diffuse reflectance materials and coatings for applications in backlit panel displays, computed radiography, and system calibration. The company's expertise has resulted in multiple patents in areas such as methods for testing LEDs on a wafer and UV transmittance.
