Interesting applications for Luxmux Products: 2015 Outstanding Science and Technology Start-Up, Winner

"The first targeted industry is oil and gas because it’s right in our back yard, but the oil industry is just the beginning,” Dattner says. “Many industrial processes can benefit from these new capabilities and we plan to monetize current applications as the technology evolves to our ultimate vision of a consumer ready spectrometer integrated into your smart phone.”

While the technology sounds complicated – its full title is Silicon Nanophotonic Fourier Transform Near Infrared Spectrometer-on-a-chip – what it does is easily explained. The device scans an object, and reports on its molecular makeup.

The Luxmux device stands out as a result of its miniaturization, integration and performance. Luxmux has integrated a powerful light source and high resolution spectrometer in a small butterfly package with no moving parts.
