Knight Optical, a leading supplier of ultra-high-precision optical components for high-spec UAVs, USVs, and UUVs, is expanding its product lineup with Ocean Optics spectrometers.

This strategic addition strengthens its reputation as a one-stop optical solutions provider, offering customers an extensive selection of high-precision spectrometry tools.
With six distinct categories, these spectrometers support applications across scientific research, industrial processes, and advanced analytical techniques.
High-Resolution Spectrometers
Precision is paramount in applications that require exact wavelength identification. The HR2, HR4, and HR6 high-resolution spectrometers deliver exceptional accuracy, making them ideal for plasma emission analysis, pharmaceutical research, DNA/RNA studies, protein absorption measurements, and broadband source emission assessments. Their superior wavelength resolution ensures precise and repeatable results for even the most demanding applications.
High-Sensitivity Spectrometers
Compact yet powerful, the QE Pro high-sensitivity spectrometer is designed for applications requiring the detection of faint signals. Available in UV-VIS, NIR, and extended-range configurations, it offers slit width options from 5 to 200µm. With low detection limits and minimal stray light, it is well-suited for DNA sequencing, reaction monitoring, and other analytical processes that demand high sensitivity and reliability.
Near-Infrared Spectrometers
Optimized for near-infrared (NIR) applications, the NIR Spectrometer range includes the NIRQuest+1.7, NIRQuest+2.2, and NIRQuest+2.5 models. These spectrometers provide unparalleled flexibility, making them invaluable for biological specimen analysis, chemical concentration measurements, and authenticity verification of luxury goods. Their broad spectral range delivers in-depth material insights, ensuring precise quality control and research accuracy.
Raman Spectrometers
The QE Pro Raman spectrometer is engineered for high-precision applications such as inorganic material analysis and chemical reaction monitoring. Supporting Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), it enables the detection of trace-level analytes, illicit substances, and pesticides at 532, 638, and 785 nm, making it an essential tool for forensic and environmental studies.
Versatile Spectrometers
For applications where space is a constraint, the Versatile Spectrometer series offers compact yet robust solutions. The SR2 model excels in high light-level absorbance measurements, laser and LED characterization, and color and reflectance analysis. Meanwhile, the SR4 model is optimized for UV protein absorbance studies, fluorescence analysis in chemical samples, and other high-sensitivity applications.
Microspectrometers
Designed for integration into OEM devices and inline control systems, microspectrometers offer high performance in a compact form factor. Available in UV (185-650 nm), VIS (350-810 nm), and NIR (645-1085 nm) models, they support diverse applications such as blood and DNA/RNA analysis, chemical compound fluorescence, LED characterization, materials reflectance, and plasma monitoring.
