Applications
Spectrometers by application
Each application page describes the measurement problem, the physics that applies, the specifications that determine instrument choice and the recommended Evolve Sensing platforms. Measurements not covered below are handled as custom sensing projects.
Semiconductor
OES endpoint detection, thin-film thickness, optical CD, deep-UV source monitoring and contamination screening.
Semiconductor metrology depends on spectrometers for endpoint detection, thin-film measurement, source monitoring and inspection, and in most of these tasks the limiting specification is stability rather than sensitivity.
View application →Biomedical
OCT, endoscopy, fluorescence, blood parameters and radiation dosimetry.
Biomedical optics requires a spectrometer to capture weak light from living tissue and to do so quickly enough that the tissue has not moved.
View application →Pharmaceutical
Dissolution testing, HPLC detection, PAT and cleaning validation.
In pharmaceutical measurement the instrument is only part of the deliverable.
View application →Environmental
DOAS, water quality, emissions, agriculture and food, sorting and recycling, soil chemistry.
Environmental measurement takes place outdoors or in plant installations, where the instrument sees the full annual temperature range.
View application →Industrial & materials
LIBS on coal and ore, fenceline gas, in-process solids and liquids.
Industrial materials measurement is where Evolve Sensing started, and it shaped the product line: stand-off optical measurement in mines, smelters, conveyors and fencelines, in dust, heat and vibration, running continuously.
View application →Custom sensing
Stand-off optical measurement systems for industrial environments.
Mines, smelters, fencelines and conveyors. Evolve Sensing builds complete measurement systems where no catalog instrument fits.
Custom sensing →Focused applications
Specialized measurements
Narrower measurement problems that come up often enough to have their own page: the physics, the specifications that decide the result, and the limits of the method.
Thin film & ellipsometry
Broadband reflectometry, spectroscopic ellipsometry and NIR thickness for film stacks from the deep UV to 2500 nm.
View application →Solar simulators
Spectral irradiance, lamp drift and aging, filter performance and automated PV test stations across UV, visible and NIR.
View application →Biofilm monitoring
UV-Vis absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence and NIR for biofilm growth, surface fouling and treatment response in research and OEM systems.
