New patents strengthen position in spectrometry

Keywords: Optics, Coatings technology, Chemical technology

Ocean Optics has recently been issued two new US patents which it says will reinforce its lead in next generation spectrometer technology. One of the new patents covers the composition and method of producing high-reflection silver mirrors or thin-film optical filters. These increase sensitivity in Ocean Optics spectrometers. The second is for tuneable variable bandpass optical filters. These combine Ocean Optics's patented high-pass and low-pass linear variable filters to create the world's first notch filter with an adjustable bandpass. The process producing silver reflecting layers in dielectric thin films results in coatings with extremely high reflectivity.
