Headwall Launches Raman SpectrometerHeadwall Launches Raman Spectrometer

FITCHBURG, Mass. -- Headwall Photonics, a leader in nanophotonics manufacturing and spectrometry solutions for industry and

defense, has launched the industry’s first multi-channel, multi-spectral Raman spectrometer to meet industry requirements for high spectral performance in a very small form factor.

The Raman Explorer™ product is the first of a family of Raman products that addresses application-specific requirements for laboratory and OEM instrument customers. “There are tremendous benefits to analyzing extended wavelength ranges or multiple spectral ranges on a single detector plane,” states David Bannon, Headwall’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “These capabilities provide our OEM customers and end-users with a high-performance, cost-effective Raman tool. We’ve successfully deployed the Raman Explorer™ in a number of environments and customer response has been extremely positive.”

The Raman Explorer™ introduces a new category of application-specific products based on Headwall’s patented retro-reflective, concentric design for Raman analysis. Headwall’s design innovation allows customers to apply high-performance analytical Raman techniques in both traditional laboratory environments as well as in commercial application areas such as industrial process monitoring and control where the multi-channel, multi-sensor design is well-suited.

Headwall Photonics will be exhibiting the Raman Explorer™ at Photonics West, Booth #5106, in San Jose, CA on January 24 – 28, 2005. The product will be highlighted at the New Product Spotlight scheduled for Wednesday, January 26, at 12:30pm in the San Jose Convention Center, Hall 1.
