FREEDOM UV-VIS

Compact and cost-efficient OEM spectrometer modules for the 190 – 850 nm range

The FREEDOM spectrometers offer a compact and cost-efficient spectrometer module for OEM manufacturers of analytical instruments that do not want to sacrifice performance and robustness for compactness.

FREEDOM UV-VIS is built on a new transmission grating developed by Ibsen Photonics that provides high diffraction efficiency for both polarizations from 190-850 nm.

Furthermore, the FREEDOM UV-VIS spectrometers support many different detector systems which enables you to choose the best detector option for your specific application. FREEDOM even allows you to re-use already developed electronics and software for your favorite detector type.

Developer’s Kit

The FREEDOM UV-VIS is offered with a Developer’s kit for a plug and play experience.

The Developer’s Kit allows you to easily demonstrate the performance of the spectrometer without the need for complex hardware integration or time-consuming programming.

Benefits of transmission grating based spectrometers

The FREEDOM is a series of versatile spectrometers. This is obtained by a unique mirror-grating-mirror design utilizing Ibsen Photonics’ high dispersion transmission gratings. Furthermore, the spectrometers provide high efficiency and high throughput, together with high resolution and a broad wavelength range.
