Applications

Spectroscopy and microscopy from the visible to the mid-infrared

Stuttgart Instruments systems are used where wavelength coverage, stability, and repeatable tuning matter.

Material studies

Nanoscale infrared, ultrafast spectroscopy, and nanophotonics.

  • Optical near-field microscopy

    Tip-based s-SNOM and AFM-IR for nanoscale chemical contrast below the diffraction limit.

  • Laser-FTIR and ultrafast spectroscopy

    Broadband MIR mapping, fingerprint spectroscopy, and pump–probe across the mid-IR.

  • Plasmonics and nanophotonics

    Tunable excitation of metasurfaces, polaritons, and related MIR structures.

Life sciences

Nonlinear imaging and label-free vibrational contrast in tissue.

  • Multi-photon and deep tissue imaging

    Tunable NIR and MIR beams for multi-photon excitation and deeper tissue penetration.

  • Coherent Raman microscopy

    Label-free SRS and CARS imaging with rapid, repeatable wavelength tuning.

  • Photothermal and photoacoustic imaging

    Vibrational contrast in tissue via MIR absorption and photothermal or acoustic readout.

Sensing and analytics

Environmental sensing, liquid analytics, and open-path infrared detection for gases and liquids.

  • Photoacoustic spectroscopy

    Trace-gas fingerprinting with narrow-linewidth MIR and photoacoustic detection cells.

  • Liquid analytics

    Mid-IR absorption and photoacoustic readouts for liquids and dissolved species in analytical and process settings.

  • Remote sensing

    Open-path and aerial detection of IR-active species across fingerprint absorption bands.
