OUR HISTORY
Ocean Optics started in the late ‘80s, seeded by a federal grant for a marine pH sensor. As part of their work, the Ocean team needed a compact spectrometer to fit into a small, underwater housing, and were surprised to discover none existed. So, they made their own. Founder Mike Morris started the evolution of spectrometers from floor unit-sized to handheld.
By 1992, the “world’s first miniature spectrometer” ushered in a new way of utilizing spectroscopy.
Today, our technologies have evolved, our offering has expanded, and our customers remain vital partners.
