Photon Control Sells Spectral Equipment to Simon Fuller University

Burnaby, British Columbia-based photonic sensor developer Photon Control Inc. announced it has received an order for five spectrometers and other spectral equipment from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Burnaby to equip a new biomedical engineering facility. Professor Andrew Rawicz, founder and chair of SFU's biomedical engineering program, said the spectrometers, which can operate autonomously without having to interface with a PC or laptop, will be used for research and development and for teaching. Initially developed as part of Photon's interferometric technology for temperature and pressure sensing in harsh industrial environments, the spectrometers have been sold to commercial customers and OEMs since last year.
