Pendar Technologies products

Breakthrough, standoff, Handheld Raman chemical identification for EOD, HAZMAT, Drug Enforcement, Forensics, and more. With a standoff distance of up to 6 feet, Pendar X10 is a handheld Raman spectrometer that rapidly identifies hazardous chemicals including highly fluorescent, dark, and sensitive materials.

Extend your reach even further by integrating with unmanned ground vehicles for remote chemical identification.

This system is based on Pendar’s proprietary monolithic distributed feedback (DFB) quantum cascade laser (QCL) array. The DFB QCL array source is a highly stable, rapidly and continuously wavelength tunable broadband infrared source that can be used for illumination for various spectroscopic applications. Each element of the array is individually addressable and emits at a different wavelength by design. The output is beam-combined using a compact optical design without moving parts. The system includes custom electronics and software allows for complete control and flexible operation of the laser source. Pendar Technologies holds an exclusive license for the technology, developed by our founding team in the group of Prof. Capasso at Harvard.

Real-time Raman quantification of chemical reactants, products, and intermediates without sampling probes or contact.
