Ocean Optics

Ocean Optics is a leading supplier of solutions for optical sensing – fundamental methods of measuring and interpreting the interaction of light with matter. We enable diverse applications in medical and biological research, environmental monitoring, life science, science education, and entertainment lighting and display. Our extensive line of complementary technologies includes spectrometers, chemical sensors, metrology instrumentation, optical fibers, and thin films and optics. Recognized as the inventor of miniature fiber optic spectroscopy, we’ve sold almost 100,000 spectrometers worldwide since 1992.

Ocean Optics has developed a diversified set of manufacturing arts that are essential to components in four key photonics segments: Optical Sensing, Optical Networking, Display Optics and Biophotonics. Primary markets include consumer electronics, process control, environmental monitoring, life sciences and medical diagnostics. Our systems have been used everywhere from in vivo to the ocean floor; on the Mars Rover and the Mir space station; and in Florida's orange groves and South America's rain forests.

Sensors

Ocean Optics sensor systems are ushering in a new generation of low-cost, portable chemical-sensing devices. Thanks to innovation in the development of chemical-sensing complexes -- particularly those with fluorescing properties -- products such as our Oxygen Sensor systems will continue to provide viable alternatives to traditional chemical-sensing devices such as electrodes. The use of optical-sensing methods lessens the reliance on the electrochemical technologies that have dominated the field of oxygen sensing
