OPTICAL SENSORS for life science applications
Precision optoelectronic components
absorption
At the heart of our sensors are their miniature optoelec-
tronic components, produced only by STM according
to our patented manufacturing process. Their optical
characteristic values far exceed those of commercially
available components.
u We manufacture especially small precision LEDs, customer specific design fluorescence excitation
photodiodes, phototransistors and complete laser
modules according to this extraordinary process. Due
to the high optical quality, they can also be directly in- u Our miniature optical elements are assembled on u Typical applications include precise sensor functions

precision optics u With the selection of specific wavelengths they offer
the optimum optoelectronic characteristics to allow
physical and biological/chemical effects – such as
absorption and fluorescence – to be optimally used.
u Their optical specifications – such as spot size, beam
angle and intensity distribution – can be determined
to a large extent by the user.
