Spectrum Photonics Inc develops standoff and remote sensors systems to detect and identify chemical compounds for homeland security protection, defense sectors & commercial interests. The firm's compact systems use advanced hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and optical sensing technologies to provide trace level detection and analysis. Each systems size, weight, and power (SWaP) trade-offs are optimized for specific applications in handheld, terrestrial, aerial, and underwater detection and identification operations. Hyperspectral imaging is able to differentiate specific materials from a similar background with higher depth imaging. The company's technology enables the ability to non-destructively detect and identify materials at a distance as well as the ability to map the surface properties of a material or location. In addition, the firm is working to develop hyperspectral imaging sensors suitable for use in real world, field environments that incorporate easy to understand and operate software for non-specialists to use.
