We design and manufacture line-scan cameras and photodiode digitizers optimized for spectroscopy, ultrafast dynamics, and synchronizedoptical experiments where noise, timing, and repeatability define data quality. Recent academic work using our Glaz LineScan cameras and photodiode digitizers has shown measurement times reduced from 11 days to 10.3 hours, drift noise eliminated, and SNR improved by more than 10×, enabled by vertically large pixels ~50× taller than typical cameras and tightly synchronized multi-camera acquisition.
Engineered as measurement instruments, not generic imagers, our systems combine FPGA-based processing, ultra-low-noise analog design,deterministic triggering, and automatic shot-by-shot analysis, delivering single-shot SNR >3500 at a cost point accessible to research and OEM environments. Every device integrates cleanly into experimental systems: USB-powered to minimize external hardware, with built-in synchronization for pump/probesorting that reduces alignment and software overhead. The focus is not headline specs, but data fidelity, synchronization, and experimental reproducibility.
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:
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:
An essential building block for ultrafast spectroscopy, transient absorption, and time-resolved measurements.
For laboratories, research groups, and R&D teams in spectroscopy, ultrafast optics, photonics, environmental monitoring, and advanced imaging, our solutions are designed for experiments where timing, noise, and data integrity define results. Explore real-world applications and learn from our published case studies.
Integrate Synertronic instruments directly into your software environment for deterministic, shot-by-shot control.

"The Glaz LineScan detectors were perfectly customized to our needs and allowed us to easily setup the data acquisition of our single-shot THz detection."
"Synertronic Designs’ expertise in pulse transformer design was instrumental in achieving the fast-rise, high-voltage pulses required for stable laser operation."
"Synertronic cameras are integral to our terahertz spectroscopy setup, enabling single-shot readout at a 1 kHz repetition rate and significantly reducing data acquisition time."
