Spectral Sensing

We develop spectral sensors appropriate for your task

Codion Optics was spun off of a working group of the Leibniz ipht, which primarily concentrated on special concepts for spectral sensors for around 20 years. This work focused on aspects such as miniaturization, high resolution, high sensitivity, parallel measurement of multiple spectra, or improved scattered light properties. Based on the experiences collected there, new specral sensor developments are also a main working area of Codion Optics.
