Ibsen Photonics

If you’re building next‑generation measurement instruments for the light or display industry, you already know the pressure: smaller footprints, tighter budgets, and customers demanding higher accuracy than ever. For many teams, spectrometers have been the bottleneck — too big, too expensive, or too slow to integrate. That’s exactly why we built PEBBLE VIS. PEBBLE VIS is an ultra‑compact, cost‑efficient spectrometer designed for OEMs who want to differentiate with better performance in a smaller package. Despite its size, it delivers the performance normally associated with much larger instruments. Here’s what sets it apart: ▪ Transmission gratings — the world’s best   Ibsen’s fused‑silica transmission gratings deliver high efficiency, low stray light, and excellent stability. This is the optical foundation behind PEBBLE’s performance. ▪ DISB electronics for precise spectral acquisition   Our proprietary electronics architecture ensures accurate timing — even for pulsed or fast‑changing light sources. ▪ A form factor that unlocks new instrument designs   At just a few cubic centimeters, PEBBLE VIS fits where traditional spectrometers simply can’t. If you’ve avoided spectrometers because of size or cost, this changes the equation. If you’re exploring ways to differentiate your next instrument, reduce system size, or add spectral capability without redesigning your entire platform, PEBBLE VIS might be the missing piece.

As laser systems push toward higher power, broader wavelength coverage, and more compact architectures, spectral beam combining has become a powerful way to scale performance without compromising beam quality. Fused‑silica transmission gratings are at the heart of this approach. Their wide usable bandwidth supports many laser wavelengths in a single platform, their passive nature delivers consistently high efficiency without active stabilization, and their robust fused‑silica design handles extreme power densities up to 3 MW/cm². For OEMs building the next generation of industrial, scientific, or defense‑grade laser systems, they offer a clean, reliable, and truly scalable path to higher optical power.

Even the most advanced laser systems can fail due to a single weak link. High-power lasers such as those in directed energy weapons and wireless power transfer demand components that can handle multi-megawatt power densities without degrading. Diffraction gratings are often the unsung heroes, but their performance hinges on Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT). At Ibsen Photonics, we’ve pushed the boundaries with >3 MW/cm² LIDT at 1 μm CW, ultra-low absorption (<3 ppm), and negligible wavefront distortion under extreme loads. How? By combining wide-bandgap materials (such as fused silica), IBS/magnetron sputtering coatings, and pristine substrates. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced with optical components in high-power applications? #Photonics #HighPowerLasers #DirectedEnergy #OpticalEngineering #LIDT #IbsenPhotonics

We’re thrilled to share that our custom transmission grating is now at the heart of TauFOS, the Tautenburg Faint Object Spectrograph 🔭 This instrument isn’t just about cutting-edge performance - it’s about enabling discovery. As part of the 2-meter Alfred Jensch Telescope in Tautenburg, Germany, TauFOS will help astronomers push the boundaries of faint object spectroscopy. Who knows? The next exoplanet discovery could be made possible by Ibsen’s technology 😉 We’d like to thank doctor Hans-Peter Dörr and Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg for trusting us to supply a critical component for such a unique instrument. We can’t wait to see what TauFOS uncovers next ✨ Thanks to Thüringer Landessternwarte for the provided images. #Photonics #Spectroscopy #Astronomy #OEM #ScientificInstruments #Innovation #IbsenPhotonics #SpaceDiscovery
