Applications

Chromation’s spectral sensor addresses a diverse range of applications where spectral information (e.g. color) is indicative of state. The sensor is ideally suited to applications where information is needed across either a broad spectral range or multiple smaller bands. The continuous UV-VIS-NIR range is unmatched by competing products, enabling systems that otherwise require bulky and expensive spectrometers.

Techniques include:

• Colorimetric indicator readout
• Fluorescence detection
• Spectral fingerprinting
• Absorption feature analysis
• Spectral activity weighting

A growing number of applications have been demonstrated using our systems including:

• Color matching to a palette (design/manufacturing)
• Anti-counterfeiting marker detection (security)
• Colorimetric indicator readout on interfering colored backgrounds (safety/health and wellness)
• Chemical activity via fluorescent indicator dynamics (safety/health and wellness)
• Tristimulus parameter measurement (lighting analysis/design)
• Melanopic ratio calculation (lighting analysis/health and wellness)
• Film thickness measurement (manufacturing/industrial)
