experts in Optical filtering systems and in Laser-enhanced remote sensing instrumentation, as well as Photon Counting Techniques and High-precision interferometry. Together the directors have developed a number of instruments in the field including the Solar Swedish Telescope CRISP instrument.
The core business model of the company is to provide for our clients new innovative solutions typically requiring laser based remote sensing instrumentation in difficult environments targeted at the specific problem. The company provides an end to end solution developing instruments from an initial simulated concept through to bench top instrument development and then to the manufacture of a complete instrument.
The company has a range of optical, mechanical and electrical design tools including CAD and ray tracing facilities. In addition the company has a fully equipped optical lab and dark room for testing new instrumentation.
