About Spectrum Detector

Spectrum Detector, Inc. was founded in 2006 by Don Dooley, previous founder and CEO of Molectron Detector, Inc. The focus of this new venture is ... creative detector solutions to optical test, measurement and calibration problems across the spectrum ... DUV to Extreme Infrared and THz.

Don has assembled a talented staff of people (see Meet the Team) with more than 60 years combined experience in Pyroelectric detectors, Optical Instrumentation, Laser power and energy measurement products and NIST traceable Optical Calibration.

They've tried to identify unique measurement needs that require novel, versatile detector and instrument solutions. They have partnered with the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado to bring some exciting new Optical Standards technology out of the Lab and into industry. Spectrum has introduced the first family of Silicon and Pyroelectric TRAP Detectors Calibration transfer standards for the Photonics World. They have also worked closely with NIST Gaithersburg designing custom precision I-V preamplifiers, temperature controlled Radiometers and worked on current Colorimeter Standards to improve their functionality.

As stated by Don Dooley "We pride ourselves on the design of reliable, high performance detector based, analog and digital instruments".

Spectrum has developed many new products including:

• High performance LiTaO3 Pyroelectric Detectors and Hybrids
• Broadband PyroelectricRadiometers
• Silicon, Germanium, and InGaAs Optical Power Meters
• Analog and Digital Pyroelectric Joulemeters
• Analog and Digital Silicon, Germanium and InGaAs Joulemeters
• High Rep Rate 100kHz Digital Joulemeter
• Optical and Thermal TRAP Detector and Instruments
• THz Detectors and Instruments
