About Ocean Optics
Ocean Optics pioneered miniature spectrometers and delivers spectral solutions to researchers, OEMs and industrial customers, also designs and builds industrial-grade photonics systems for material inspection, chemical identification and quality assurance. Our mission is to lead in creating precise yet practical optical solutions that enable researchers and industry to solve meaningful problems in health, safety and the environment. We have discovered, refined and delivered new approaches to solving problems with spectroscopy and imaging technologies. Backed by deep experience, we are working within applications including academia & research, energy, environmental, food & agriculture, general manufacturing, medical technology, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and transportation. We partner with customers to achieve ambitious goals, leveraging the power of light for advancement in health, safety and the environment. OUR HISTORY Ocean Optics started in the late ‘80s, seeded by a federal grant for a marine pH sensor. As part of their work, the Ocean team needed a compact spectrometer to fit into a small, underwater housing, and were surprised to discover none existed. So, they made their own. Founder Mike Morris started the evolution of spectrometers from floor unit-sized to handheld. By 1992, the “world’s first miniature spectrometer” ushered in a new way of utilizing spectroscopy. Today, our technologies have evolved, our offering has expanded, and our customers remain vital partners.
