Technology for Polarization Measurement

CUSTOM BIREFRINGENCE SYSTEMS

Exicor® has been designed to be adaptable and customized.  We pioneered nm range industrialized birefringence measurement and recognized early that polarization analysis, especially birefringence measurements, was dominated by new and custom endeavors.  We designed our products accordingly!

The varied and proprietary nature of our customers' processes dictate that we be able to adapt in a quick and cost effective way.  We have designed our systems to be modular by developing optical and electronic subsystems that can be quickly configured with minimal NRE (‘Non-Recurring Engineering’) fees.  We have specialized in, and pride ourselves on, the ability to quickly develop new systems.

We understand that the application of our technology can give our customers a distinct advantage in today’s highly competitive global economy.  This is why we manufacture over three dozen different models in the Exicor family of products.  Over two dozen of these models are custom configurations that have been designed to meet a customer’s specific requirements.

The flexibility of Exicor makes it the tool that will help you take your products and materials to the next level of competiveness and profitability!
