   Photonics Online had the pleasure of talking with Damon Lenski from Avantes. Damon introduces the AvaSpec-VARIUS™ spectrometer and its many features, making it ideal for laboratory environments or OEM needs.

2. Hyperspectral Imaging Solutions For Industrial Automation And Beyond 2/3/2023

   As Photonics West 2023 winds down, we visit Mark Donaghy at the Raptor Photonics booth for a look at their line of SWIR and CMOS cameras and a new hyperspectral imaging system.

3. Detecting Illicit Drugs, Infectious Diseases And More With Raman Technology 2/2/2023

   On Day 3 of Photonics West 2023, Krisztina Voronova of Bayspec shows us one of her favorite products, the SERS Reader, a mini variable analyzer that provides full analytical solutions for a variety of applications.

4. Video: BaySpec Breeze Handheld Spectrometer 6/14/2022

   The Breeze is a handheld spectrometers with full VIS, NIR, and SWIR coverage from 400 - 2500nm. This handheld spectrometer features proprietary miniaturized optics and high efficiency for maximum sensitivity with high-speed acquisition. This compact device allows operation with the touch of a button.

5. An Intro To Advanced Hyperspectral Imaging 4/21/2016

   Hyperspectral imaging technology has advanced significantly in the last 50 years, and Greg Staples with Bayspec talked with us for a few minutes at the 2016 SPIE DCS exhibition about how it has changed.

6. Machine Vision, POC Medical Instruments, Non-Dispersive IR, & Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy Filters 2/18/2016

   This year at Photonics West, Jason Palidwar with Iridian Spectral Technologies gave us insight into the three optical filtering solutions his company is focusing on in 2016.

7. A New Paradigm In FT-IR Spectroscopy 2/13/2015

   Si-Ware Systems drew a lot of positive attention at Photonics West 2015 with their Prism award winning MEMS spectral sensors. Bassam Saadany and Mostafa Medhat met with Photonics Online on the last day of the show so we could get a glimpse of the sensors in person and see them in action. If you’re looking to replace your standard bench top FT-IR spectrometer with something much smaller and much less expensive, then this video is most certainly for you.
