Flash Photonics Introduction
Flash Photonics designs, manufactures, and distributes cutting-edge optical sensing technologies with amazing performance and value. We specialize in UV, VIS, NIR, and THZ spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy, trace gas detection, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) systems and components, optomechanics, Raman systems, lab electronics, LEDs, lasers, and more.
Atomic Force Microscopes
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) provides atomic-level (10 nm) characterizations such as topography, conductivity, elasticity, adhesion, hardness, frictional forces, and thermal measurements. Researchers use AFM to study graphene, carbon nanotubes, biological samples, and more. Flash offers systems by Nanonics Imaging including the Hydra-Bio AFM, the MultiView 4000, and the SpectraView 2500.
Lasers and LEDS
Flash offers lasers and LEDs for research labs. Our lasers from Innovative Photonic Solutions are great for Raman spectroscopy, metrology, and interferometry. Our Picoyune LeRoy LEDs are perfect for fluorescence spectroscopy, viewing fluorescent tags in biological samples, monitoring biochemical reactions, and measuring compounds and molecules in a solution.
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Systems
Flash offers LIBS systems and software from AtomTrace, SPECTRAL Industries, and TSI. These LIBS systems require very little sample preparation, are relatively non-destructive, and can be used to quickly and easily identify the chemical composition of an unknown sample. We’ve been working with LIBS for over 20 years!
General Spectrometers
Flash sells spectrometers for research labs, field research, manufacturing facilities, and integration with original equipment manufacturers (OEM). We sell spectrometers by Spectral Engines, Custom Sensors and Technology (CS&T), SPECTRAL Industries, and Wasatch Photonics.
Optical Probes & Fibers
Our optical probes and optical fibers by Custom Sensors & Technology and MarqMetrix pair beautifully with our spectrometers. We have affordable options, many with special bulk pricing. Customization is also available upon request.
Optomechanical Hardware
3DOptix optomechanical kits and components allow you to build advanced optical instruments and simplify alignment in the optics lab. Forget fidgeting with optical mounts. 3DOptix components snap into place. The BreadBox is the evolved form of a traditional optical breadboard and allows you to build experiments vertically, above the optical bench. This is a great teaching tool for university optical labs.
Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
The Gasera One uses photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) to analyze hydrocarbons, pollutants, industrial gasses, and medical gasses in the range of 1-50 ppb.
Photometers and Photodetectors
Flash’s Photometers and Photodetectors are great for measuring absorbance and fluorescence and monitoring chemical processes. We sell photometers and photodetectors for research and manufacutring by Resolved Instruments and Custom Sensors & Technology.
Raman Spectroscopy Systems
Flash Photonics offers high-end and affordable Raman spectrometers, Raman lasers, Raman fiber optics, Raman probes, full Raman systems, and fluorescence-minimizing Raman instruments by TimeGate, Wasatch Photonics, MarqMetrix, and TSI.
