A Paradigm Shift in Molecular Spectroscopy
June 2006

Over the last twenty years there have been only minor advancements in the technologies used in instruments designed for molecular spectroscopy. Commonly slit or "pinhole" apertures are used to spatially define the light entering the section of the spectrometer where the light is separated and analyzed.

Ocean Optics forms Alliances
May 2006

Ocean Optics Inc. of Dunedin, Fla., and Centice Corp. of Research Triangle Park, N.C., have entered into an agreement under which Ocean Optics will add Centice's multimodal multiplex spectroscopy technology to its product portfolio. The Raman spectroscopy system uses a coded wide-area aperture instead of a conventional pinhole or slit entrance to provide high optical throughput without an increase in noise.


Multimodal Multiplex Sampling spectrometers
May 10, 2006

Dispersive spectrometers come in two basic designs: scanned-grating monochromators and static grating designs with detector arrays. With the availability of inexpensive linear detectors and charge coupled devices (CCDs) in the UV/Visible/NIR region, dispersive spectrometers are moving away from scanned-grating designs to static implementations. These are preferred for their single shot measurements, fast data acquisition times and high mechanical reliability.

Centice unveiled its Multimodal Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS) technology
May 2006 Issue

Centice, from Durham, North Carolina, US, has unveiled its Multimodal Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS) technology which provides 10 to 100 times higher optical throughput compared with slit and fibre coupled spectrometers. MMS technology uses an encoded wide area aperture instead of the slit in conventional spectrometers, thus providing extremely high throughput with no sacrifice in spectral resolution. The large area encoded aperture yields 3.5X to 12X the signal-to-noise (SNR) as compared with slit based instruments with equivalent resolution. This extreme sensitivity is achieved without compromising spectral resolution in UV/Vis, NIR, Raman and fluorescence measurement.

First UV-vis multimodal multiplex spectrometer
April 20, 2006

Newport describes its new Oriel Matrix spectrometer as the first UV-vis MMS (multimodal multiplex spectroscopy) spectrometer. MMS patent-pending technology removes the primary limitation imposed on traditional dispersive instruments - the tradeoff between throughput and resolution. As a result, the Oriel Matrix spectrometer delivers 12 times more throughput and SNR than traditional spectrometers, without compromising resolution, says the company.

Cover Story
April 3, 2006-05-25

Ocean Optics and Newport each displayed new instruments based on Centice Multimodal Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS) technology, which was introduced at Pittcon 2005. Centice's technology utilizes a wide-area aperture with an encoded mask, instead of a conventional pinhole or thin slit, along with a charge-coupled device detector for better signal-to-noise performance in optical spectroscopy. Ocean Optics' MMS Raman spectrometer is useful for weak, diffuse light signals and covers the 220- to 2,000-cm?1 spectral range with 4-cm?1 resolution. Newport's MMS UV-Vis spectrometer is capable of measuring very weak signals in the 190- to 500-nm spectral range with 0.6-nm resolution.designs.
