Synchronized Measurement Instrumentation

Engineered for Science

For 20+ years we've been building detection instruments at the bench beside the groups that use them — taking their measurement problems with engineering curiosity to develop simple, practical solutions. Our devices are compact, USB-powered, fully synchronized, and precision-engineered for experiment environments where noise, timing, and repeatability define data quality.

*Results from recent academic work using our system architectures. Innovation comes through synergy — when research and instrumentation work together.

The Glaz LineScan Camera Systems are FPGA-driven line-scan instruments supporting modern CMOS and InGaAs sensors for visible, NIR, and SWIR spectroscopy.

Key characteristics:

  • Ultra-low-noise analog front-end with true 16-bit acquisition
  • Deterministic internal and external triggering
  • Built-in support for pump-probe and reference/probe measurements
  • Lossless FPGA data compression for reliable high-speed acquisition
  • Multi-camera synchronization for complex optical layouts
  • Compact form factors, including dual-sensor configurations for simplified optical alignment

Designed for experiments where timing accuracy and spectral integrity matter more than industrial throughput.

Our photodiode digitizers are optimized for femtosecond and pump-probe spectroscopy, providing precise discrimination between pumped and unpumped (odd/even) scans at high repetition rates.

Core strengths:

  • Deterministic timing for shot-to-shot measurements
  • FPGA-based processing for real-time separation of signals
  • Seamless synchronization with Glaz LineScan cameras
  • LabVIEW, Python, and .NET integration for rapid experiment control

An essential building block for ultrafast spectroscopy, transient absorption, and time-resolved measurements.
