Hamamatsu launches first tiny MEMS FTIR device for infrared detector
Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. says it has developed the world's first MEMS-fabricated ultra-small FTIR engine.
The device is a fingertip-sized device that combines a Michelson interferometer with an optical fibre 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.
Commercialisation of the MEMS FTIR spectrometer module is scheduled for fall in 2013.
The new MEMS FTIR spectrometer module will be exhibited from February 5th to 7th at Photonics West 2013 in San Francisco, California.
