Our Company
Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc. is a world leader in spectrographic instrumentation and applied holographic technology. Principal products include Raman instrumentation and advanced holographic components for spectroscopy, astronomy, and ultra-fast sciences. Principal offices and the manufacturing facility are located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Kaiser's Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to ISO 9001:2008 standards.
To better serve the European community, Kaiser opened a new subsidiary in Europe in 1998. Kaiser Optical Systems, SARL is located in Lyon, France and directly supports our customers and distribution partners within Europe.
Kaiser was founded in 1979 and entered the spectroscopy market in 1990 with the introduction of the holographic notch filter. In 1993 Kaiser released their first Raman analyzer, the HoloProbe, which set the standard for compact fiber-coupled Raman instruments.
Our products and services are now deployed throughout the world in such diverse applications as pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, nanotechnology, telecommunications, education, energy, forensic science, deep-sea exploration, and astronomy. From particles smaller than a human hair to objects as large as planets, our products are providing our customers unique insights into both today’s as well as “age-old” questions.
The Kaiser team remains dedicated to providing innovation and global leadership in the products and services we offer. To accomplish this our employees are challenged to realize our core values.
Kaiser Optical Systems (Kaiser) was acquired on November 23, 2013 by the Endress+Hauser Group and operates as an independent division focused on advanced optical instrumentation based on Raman spectroscopy. Over the years, Kaiser has developed representation and distributor networks for its Raman products and the industries it serves. The Endress+Hauser Group will further enhance Kaiser’s ability to serve its customers globally for the next years and decades to come.
Endress+Hauser is a global leader in measurement instrumentation, services and solutions for industrial process engineering. Endress+Hauser offers comprehensive process solutions for flow, level, pressure, analysis, temperature, recording and digital communications across a wide range of industries, optimizing processes in regards to economic efficiency, safety and environmental protection.
Kaiser invites you to view the following Raman applications, which highlight the high information content and sampling flexibility inherent with Kaiser Raman. Contact us to see how we can help you solve your measurement problems.
A leader in Raman spectroscopy since 1992 and the pioneer of the holographic technology that has revolutionized Raman spectroscopy, Kaiser develops and manufactures an extensive range of Raman products from R&D through the process markets.
Holographic Gratings
What is a VPH Grating?
VPH transmission gratings work much like conventional surface relief reflection gratings, except in transmission. They are periodic phase structures, whose fundamental purpose is to diffract different wavelengths of light from a common input path into different angular output paths. The phase of incident light is modulated as it passes through a volume of the periodic phase structure, hence the term “Volume Phase”. This is in contrast to a conventional grating, in which the depth of a surface relief pattern modulates the phase of the incident light.

VPH Technology
Kaiser’s VPH Advantage
Kaiser’s VPH gratings posses the same intrinsic advantages:
High diffraction efficiency
Low loss
Low scatter
Each grating is a master (no replication errors)
Anti-reflection coatings
Cleanable optics
Robust packaging
Transmission configuration – simple alignment
Every VPH grating is a holographic master so there is no replication degradation from unit to unit or over time, unlike other gratings. The consistency of these gratings provide demonstrable benefits for the systems integrator.
Go Ahead……..Touch Our Gratings!
VPH gratings are protected by glass.
No hyper-sensitive surface structure to damage.
Robust Anti-Reflection coatings allow fingerprints to be cleaned using standard methods for cleaning optics
Handle just like any glass optical element.
