Optical Spectroscopy Solutions

We believe that light is the most elegant way to extract information about the world around us and that the spectrometers currently used by researchers to analyse light are simply outdated. Our mission is to build fundamentally powerful scientific instruments that challenge widely adopted spectroscopic tools.

High-resolution Spectrometers

Our compact and high-resolution spectrometers allow you to capture a wide spectral range in a single snapshot without the need for moving dispersive elements or alternating between multiple spectrometer systems.
RS10k Spectrometer
450-1030 nm / R~10,000 / CMOS
RS4k Spectrometer
220-850 nm / R~4,000 / CMOS
RS40k Spectrometer
430-950 nm / R~40,000 / sCMOS

The plots below compare the RS4k, RS10k, RS15k, and RS40k spectrometers in resolution, efficiency, and sensitivity. The device efficiency includes all components of the spectrometer but does not account for fibre throughput and coupling loss.

  • Quandela

    "We enjoy working with Redback Systems spectrometers on a daily basis - reliable and easy-to-use with a compact and very aesthetic design! I would like to mention the highly professional team: very dedicated and always ready to help!"

    Dr. Petr Stepanov, Quantum Solid-state Engineer, Quandela

  • Quix Quantum

    "The RS40k spectrometer really helps speed up Quix Quantum in bringing a photonic quantum computer to the market. The combination of both high spectral resolution and sensitivity in a compact housing makes it the ideal tool for wavelength characterizing the single photon sources used in full stack photonic quantum computers."

    Dr. Henk Snijders, Quantum Systems Engineer, QuiX Quantum

  • The University of Queensland

    "Using the Redback Systems spectrometer is a breeze. I incorporated the fibre-coupled spectrometer into my experiments which was as easy as connecting a cable. The technical support provided is top-notch and they are more than happy to walk you through all the features of their devices. I highly recommend their products."

    "This is a lab-in-a-box! The Redback Systems RS10k spectrometer opens a lot of opportunities for teaching labs, making it easy to see detailed spectral features anywhere across the spectrum. It's an amazing instrument."

    Dr. John Essick, Instructional Laboratories and Demonstrations Editor, American Journal of Physics

  • “I am very impressed with the unit – I’ve had a look at other spectrometers and this seems to be a whole new dimension“

    Dr. Otte Homan, Laboratory Manager, ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technologies

  • "The RS10K achieves and even exceeds its advertised spectral resolution, which is quite amazing considering its footprint. It has become a key element in the lab for real-time checks of my laser sources, and for quick and accurate spectral calibration. It is particularly handy for a quick - and yet spectrally very fine - characterization of light emitting system, even in low intensity conditions."
