Customer-specific system development based on MOEMS spectrometers
25 February 2007 - 2 March 2007
Austria
Fraunhofer IPMS has developed two compact spectrometers based on its own micro opto electro mechanical system (MOEMS) technology.
One is a Czerny-Turner spectrometer called SGS1900, now commercially available via the Fraunhofer IPMS spin-off HiperScan, the other a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer currently in prototype stage. Because both solutions use innovative MOEMS devices for scanning gratings resp. translational mirrors small robust systems working in a range from 200 nm to 5 µm at costs significantly below the price of conventional spectrometers could be realized.
At PITTCON 2007, Fraunhofer IPMS will present the spectrometers themselves as well as demonstrate its capability to develop full featured, customer specific solutions that use the spectrometers as major component. One possible application is quality control of perishable food, which can be fruits and vegetables as well as every kind of meat or milk product by reflectance or fluorescence spectroscopy.
