Product Overview

Headwall Photonics designs and manufactures diamond-turned and original diffraction gratings including original planar, aberration-corrected concave/convex, and Rowland circle gratings in standard, as well as custom formats. In addition, Headwall Photonics specializes in the alignment and packaging of these gratings to deliver ruggedized spectral modules for OEM applications. Our modern 20,000 square foot facility has a large production cleanroom with the latest in automation for precise manufacturing of high quality, original gratings.

  • Hyperspectral Imaging Spectrometers
    Headwall Photonics is the leading designer and manufacturer of hyperspectral imaging sensors. Headwall's patented, aberration-corrected hyperspectral sensors provide users with a unparalled imaging performance free of image distortion. Headwall Photonics capabilities are unique in that the company is also the largest manufacturer of "all-original" holographic diffraction optics. This strength allows Headwall to offer integrated hyperspectral sensors which address a broad range of applications including commercial and industrial, medical & life sciences, research, airborne remote sensing, as well as military and defense.
  • Raman Imaging Spectrometers
    The Raman Explorer family of integrated spectrometers, designed and optimized for Raman imaging applications, has been expanded to include fully integrated spectrometer instruments as well as new configurations to take advantage of a range of different laser excitation wavelengths.
  • Spectrographs & Spectrometers
    Our compact modules are cost-effective, prealigned optical systems that are easily integrated into systems to save development costs and time to market. Our products include single- and dual-beam spectrographs. Our Hyperspectral VS15 is an unparalleled imaging spectrograph with extremely high spectral/spatial resolution. Headwall Photonics welcomes the opportunity to design solutions to meet customer requirements.
  • Gratings
    Headwall Photonics, Inc. has the history and leadership as a OEM supplier of original holographic diffraction gratings for multiple applications. Our gratings include planar, aberration-corrected concave/convex, and Rowland Circle designs.
