Ocean Optics Buys Sandhouse Design

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DUNEDIN, Fla., May 24, 2010 — Ocean Optics Inc. announced Thursday that it had acquired the assets of Sandhouse Design LLC, a manufacturer of modular mid-infrared spectrometers, LEDs, light sources and other photonic products.

Based in Dunedin as well, Sandhouse Design has developed over the past four years a novel line of high-power LED light sources for research and spectroscopy applications. Additionally, it offers small scanning infrared spectrometers in wavelengths from 900 to 8000 nm. Its products are suitable for biotechnology, process control and industrial applications.

The new product line will be manufactured by Ocean Optics at its Winter Park facility, and it will handle all sales and support via its regional sales offices in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Ocean Optics will support existing Sandhouse customers immediately.

With the addition of Sandhouse’s products, the Ocean Optics offerings will include close to 1700 spectrometers, sensors, light sources and accessories.

Ocean Optics is a supplier of solutions for optical sensing and modular spectroscopy.

Glossary
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
process control
The collection and analysis of data relevant to monitoring the rate and quality of industrial production, either continuously or in batches. Corrections can be made manually or automatically, via a feedback control loop.
sensor
1. A generic term for detector. 2. A complete optical/mechanical/electronic system that contains some form of radiation detector.
spectrometer
A kind of spectrograph in which some form of detector, other than a photographic film, is used to measure the distribution of radiation in a particular wavelength region.
