Shape and Distance Measurement
Our extensive expertise in shape and distance measurement enables us to apply and integrate various optical measurement techniques in a targeted manner. We are experienced in developing systems applying optical coherence tomography (OCT), chromatic confocal sensors, laser triangulation, and laser distance measurement systems. This allows us to measure distances between components or lenses with the same level of reliability as we apply to the quality control of surfaces on even the most complex mechanical components. Embedded defect detection streamlines the inspection process.
Spectroscopy and Photometry
Some materials and chemical substances interact with light in a very specific manner. Spectroscopic methods are therefore particularly well-suited to the detection of substances, color analysis, and the characterization of coatings. Our team of experts develops spectroscopic sensors for specific measurement applications. Additionally, we utilize photometric measurement techniques for reflectance and transmission measurement, as well as color measurement (colorimetry) and color change determination (e.g., for chemical reactions or pH value measurements).
“By installing optical measuring systems from DIOPTIC, we are able to detect errors and inaccuracies early on in the production process. Furthermore, we now have the opportunity to determine key figures that we can use to improve our production processes.”

Fluorescence and Absorption
The use of dyes or contrast agents in medical diagnostics is becoming increasingly prevalent. Fluorescent markers, which are excited by light of a specific wavelength, enable a variety of detection methods, including: fluorescent labelling, fluorescence microscopy or fluorescent security marking. We also have expertise in detecting dye concentrations via absorption measurements. In these sensitive areas of medical diagnostics, we provide our customers with the support they need to develop fluorescence or dye-based measuring systems.
Laser and Light Measurement Technology
The optical measurement of light angles and light distribution or laser beam geometries is a highly specialized field. We are able to carry out angle measurements in-house (with an autocollimator), measure and align optical axes, check laser beam geometries with regard to divergence, diameter and focus position, and ensure eye safety in accordance with the laser safety standard DIN EN 60825-1. Our inspection systems play a critical role in verifying the optical system parameters of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) modules.
