The Problem with Current Hyperspectral Imaging

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a powerful tool used across various industries, including agriculture, medical, defense, and mining. However, current HSI technologies face significant challenges:

HIGH COSTS

Existing HSI solutions are prohibitively expensive.

SIZE, WEIGHT, AND POWER (SWAP)

Many technologies lack the necessary SWAP properties for practical use.

IMAGE QUALITY

Customers demand aberration-free high-resolution images, which current technologies fail to deliver.

Syzygy Optics Introduces
a New Paradigm in Spectrometer Design

Syzygy Optics is revolutionizing the field of hyperspectral imaging with cutting-edge innovations:
  • Curved Volume Phase Holographic (VPH) Gratings: Providing superior image quality and distortion correction.
  • Spherical Transmission Grating Spectrograph (STGS): Developed in partnership with UNC, offering unmatched performance.
  • Cost-Effective Manufacturing: Our technology is significantly cheaper to produce than competitors.

Where Syzygy Can Help

MINERAL MAPPING

Our hyperspectral units, ranging from 400nm to 2500nm, analyze geological samples for mining, oil, and gas applications.

CHEMICAL IMAGING

Ideal for medical diagnostics and image-guided surgery, our instruments offer spatially resolved spectral imaging for detailed tissue analysis and micro-array diagnostics.

FOOD PROCESSING

Combining hyperspectral imaging with intelligent software, our solutions ensure precise sorting in food processing by identifying defects, non-compliant items, and contaminants invisible to traditional methods

AGRICULTURE

Our airborne hyperspectral imaging solutions monitor crop health, soil conditions, and water quality. Early detection of plant diseases and pests helps farmers mitigate economic
losses efficiently.
