Arc Optix Appoints New UK & Ireland Distributor

ARCoptix of Neuchâtel, Switzerland has recently appointed Gilden Photonics Ltd as their exclusive
distributor in UK and Ireland.

Gilden Photonics is one of the leading spectroscopy solutions integrators in the UK, with over 25 years of
spectroscopy experience. Gilden Photonics offers a complete line of modular spectrographs and
monochromators, and are the designers and manufacturers of the high performance fluoroSENS benchtop
fluorimeter. Dr. John R Gilchrist, President of Gilden Photonics, says “we are delighted to add ARCoptix to
our spectroscopy portfolio. Our strategy is to distribute the leading suppliers of spectroscopy technology
and ARCoptix falls very nicely into this category as having leading technologies in both Crystal and MEMS
Fourier Transform spectrometer systems. Our experience lies in optical spectroscopy and instrumentation
solutions and we are proud to support ARCoptix in the UK and Ireland markets”.

ARCoptix is specialized in the realization optical systems prototypes. In addition to our services we offer
products such as liquid crystal systems for R&D labs , an inteferometric based velocimeter and custom free-
form mirrors. We offer also services such as optical system design, MOEMS design, micro-optical
component fabrication, custom liquid crystal cells fabrication, characterization of birefringent materials andspectral analysis.

Arcoptix has developed two revolutionary miniature Fourier Transform Spectrometers (FTS): The Arcspectro-
HT for low light applications in the VIS and the Arcspectro-NIR for application using the NIR spectral range.

ARCSpectro-NIR Worldwide first NIR miniaturized
Fourier Spectrometer based oninnovative MEMS core technology.
Different models permits to cover a
wavelength range from 500nm to2600nm.
. Huge Wavelength Range (500nm2600nm).
. Low price.
. Compact.
. Fast measurement times (3ms)
. USB powered
. Single detector (no defectionspixels).
ARCSpectro-HT Miniaturized static Fourier
Spectrometer based on innovativecrystal technology with a spectralrange between 400nm and 1000nm.
It provides an extremely highthroughput ideal and does not needfiber optics. Ideal for diffuse reflectionmeasurement or low lightapplications
. Extreme high throughput (~100x
more
than a conventional gratingspectrometer).
. Robust (no moving parts).
. Compact.
. Fiber optics is not necessary.
. Fast measurement times (1ms)
. USB powered
