NanoQuest Spectral Sensor - World’s Widest-range, MEMS-based NIR Device

19 Jun 2020

NanoQuest is a MEMS-based FT-IR device that provides extended NIR spectral range and exceptional performance in a compact, affordable package. Its patented micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology allows for a continuous-wave Michelson interferometer to be created monolithically on a MEMS chip. This enables detection of all wavelengths simultaneously across the 1350-2500 nm range, using the single-photodetector design to reduce instrument footprint and maintain low-noise, high-stability performance

About NanoQuest

Each NanoQuest comes with an optical fiber and operating software, and can be coupled to Ocean Insight light sources and accessories to configure systems for absorbance/transmission or reflectance measurements.
