Thanks to its exclusive partnership with ARCoptix, a company specialized in innovative compact Fourier Transform spectrometers, BFi OPTiLAS is proud to introduce the latest design of spectrometer.

The ARCspectro ANIR is a lamellar Fourier Transform Spectrometer offering unique performance from a compact design and at a very attractive price. Integrating active laser position control for self-calibration, it covers the full range from Visible to NIR (2.6 microns) with an 8 cm-1 resolution.

It is fiber coupled (very high throughput using 1 mm fiber, allowing easy light coupling), USB powered, and integrates a significant improvement on the scan rate versus previous generation of Fourier Transform MEMS based instruments, resulting in higher sensitivity.
Custom versions operated at up to 4.5 microns can be proposed on request.

BFi OPTiLAS, is proud to announce the launch of several innovative products during the next Laser’09 exhibition. This will include:

• Wireless "Quasar" laser power & energy meters
• High resolution beam profilers and M2 measurement devices
• Field and modular "JAZ" spectrometer
• Fourier Transform Spectrometers based on MEMs technology
• High resolution wavemeters and wavelength analyzer
• Latest Spectroradiometers generation
• Laser diode life-test and burn-in stations

BFi OPTiLAS , thanks to its partnership with ARCoptix, a new company based on Neufchatel (Switzerland) offers a range of very innovative compact spectrometers offering unique performance at a very reasonable cost.
The ARCspectro HT is a very compact patented static polarisation Fourier Transform Spectrometer. It offers very high sensitivity (no grating losses, large input entrance i.e. 3-4 mm with no slit) allowing to work without focussing optics and with low light level such as Diffuse Light, Raman and Fluorescence spectroscopy…

The ARCspectro NIR is a patented MEMS NIR Fourier Transform Spectrometer. It uses no grating and a single photodiode as the detector.
It offers an unmatched spectral range in a single instrument (up to 500-2600 nm with no moving parts) with 20 cm-1 resolution.

Applications include: Food beverage cosmetics textile plastics material identification

agriculture gas detection environment monitoring security process control

BFi OPTiLAS, exclusive European partner of Bristol Instruments, Inc. is excited to introduce a new laser wavelength meter for scientists and engineers who need to know the exact wavelength of their mid-infrared lasers. Now, researchers using sources such as tunable quantum cascade lasers for high-resolution spectroscopy, photochemistry, or optical sensing applications can achieve more meaningful experimental results with accurate laser wavelength information.

The new model 621B-MIR is designed to operate over the entire wavelength range of 4 to 11 μm. Proven 621 series Michelson interferometer technology is used to measure absolute laser wavelength to an accuracy of ‡ 1 part per million. As with all Bristol Instruments laser wavelength meters, the measurement accuracy of the 621B-MIR system is guaranteed with continuous calibration using a built-in wavelength standard. BFi OPTiLAS also offers Quantum Cascade lasers, optical components and other photonic equipments in the MIR range.

BFi OPTiLAS is very proud to announce the signature of a distribution agreement with Cascade Technologies. This agreement covers distribution of Cascade's scientific products in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, UK and Ireland. This agreement was reached after a complete review of sales options in Europe.

Cascade Technologies offers a wide range of Mid IR Quantum Cascade Laser sources as well as Mid IR tunable laser systems and data acquisition solutions. Available wavelengths cover the 2 - 12 microns range.

The main applications include:

• Gas Sensing
• Mid IR Laser Spectroscopy
• Laser, Detector
• Fibre optics Characterisation

Cascade products address both the R&D and industrial / OEM environments.
