Plastic Optics Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is basically the measurement of the interaction of light with various materials. By analyzing the amount of light absorbed or emitted by a sample, we can determine what it’s made of and how much of it there is.

Optical spectroscopy studies the absorption and emission of light by matter. Originally the studies were related to the wavelength dependences of these processes, but as new methods and directions of research were developed the scope of optical spectroscopy has enlarged.

Optical spectroscopy is a tissue-sensing technique that can enhance cancer diagnosis and treatment. With optical spectroscopy, the tissue is illuminated with a selected light spectrum. Different tissue types can be distinguished from each other based on specific changes in the reflected light spectrum that are a result of differences on a molecular level between compared tissues. Optical spectroscopy is an important optical tool for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

Syntec Optics designs develop and manufacture precision optical components for various applications and types of spectroscopy such as IR spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, Mass Spectroscopy, UV Spectroscopy, etc.
