Description
The ClearPeak is a portable, small form factor Raman spectroscopy system built around a high–optical throughput interferometer that delivers exceptional sensitivity and high spectral resolution. The core spectral engine is a Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (SHS) that enables simultaneous acquisition of the full spectral range with no moving parts.
The ClearPeak architecture provides exceptional mechanical stability and repeatable performance with optical throughput up to 100× higher than conventional slit-based spectrometers at comparable spectral resolution. The increased throughput directly improves signal collection efficiency, enabling high spectral SNR, fast integration times and low detection limits for trace components in complex mixtures. ClearPeak is ideally suited for both solid and liquid samples across demanding applications—from real-time process monitoring to rapid material identification.
