Application Examples for omt Fiber Optic Spectrometer

There are hundreds of applications in spectroscopy with a system like omt's spectrophotometers

Typical measurement methods are

• reflection / transmission / absorbance measurement
• color measurement
• fluorescence / emission
• irradiance / radiation

Examples

• food inspection (water content, soluble solids or sweetness of fruits and vegetables, measuring color of milk products)
• print and paper industry (color / whiteness)
• biotechnology and chemistry (enzyme activity / reaction kinetics by fluorescence)
• quality control of LEDs and light / radiant sources in light industry
• chemical analysis (example glow-discharge emission for trace analyses or LIBS - laser induced breakdown spectroscopy)
• thin film metrology (reflectometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry for semiconductor industry, coating industry, or biotechnology)
• medical application (determination of hemoglobin and cytochromes)
• agriculture (oxygen content of soil)
• process control (in-line concentration of contaminations)
• environmental control (water quality measurement (chlorine / nitrate))
