(Newport: Irvine, CA) -- Newport Corp., a global leader in lasers and photonics solutions that make, manage, and measure light, has developed the OptoFlash, a miniature, multichannel, spectrometer engine for applications requiring the detection of light energy at multiple wavelengths.

This demultiplexing optical engine is easy to customize and configure with as many as 10 wavelength channels, selected from 24 standard wavelength options ranging from 200–900 nm. It is also available in 16 standard configurations that are commonly used in immunodiagnostic instrumentation. Originally developed for clinical chemical analyzers, the OptoFlash provides high speed and high linearity with minimal stray light. It allows simultaneous optical transmission information for each wavelength channel, making it an ideal solution for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) applications that require a small (51 mm × 16 mm × 25 mm), and lightweight (only 30 gm), single-package device.
