Hamamatsu Develops the World's First MEMS-Based, Ultra-Small FTIR Engine
Posted: 2013-4-7
Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has developed the world's first MEMS-fabricated
ultra-small FTIR engine, a fingertip-sized device that combines a Michelson
interferometer with an optical fiber guide for an infrared detector element.
To promote the possibilities of this device for new applications, it will be
packaged as a small, inexpensive FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectrometer
module that can be built into instruments. From June 2013, engineering samples
of this new device will be provided to instrument manufacturers.
Commercialization of the MEMS FTIR spectrometer module is scheduled for fall
2013.
The new MEMS FTIR spectrometer module will be exhibited from February 5 to 7
at Photonics West 2013 (San Francisco, California), one of the world’s largest
trade shows for optical components and photonics instruments.
