Spectroscopy Optics
Optical Excellence for Gas Analysis

Optical Excellence Reproducible Precision

Spectroscopic gas analysis places the highest demands on optical components: stable transmission in the IR/NIR range, minimal scattering losses, tight tolerances, and absolute process reliability. VIAOPTIC develops and manufactures customized polymer optics – precisely tailored to your application.

Whether for breath gas spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy of tissue samples in medical diagnostics, or rapid material detection in industrial settings: our solutions – such as beam splitters, mirrors, lens arrays, or complex parabolic mirror housings – ensure that your measurements are captured reliably and consistently. Our optics offer optimally tuned transmission and reflection at your target wavelength, achieving sub-micron tolerances even for complex freeform surfaces. Highly reflective or selectively transmitting coatings ensure stable optical properties – even under thermal load – delivering maximum system performance throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Precision begins with partnership

Fields of Application

Our optics are already integrated into leading spectroscopy systems.


Medical gas analyzers
High-transparency mirrors and lenses for CO₂/O₂ detection in anesthesia devices – with high reflectivity at specific IR wavelengths

Industrial gas detectors
Temperature- and pressure-stable beam splitters for harsh environments – e.g. tunnel monitoring or oil & gas applications

IR/NIR absorption spectroscopy
Polymer optics with stable transmission in the 850–1100 nm range – for detecting gaseous target substances

Ventilation & diagnostics sensors
Miniaturized lens arrays with low scattering for patient interfaces and modular sensor components

Food & environmental analytics
Thermally stable optics for detecting organic compounds – also under long-term exposure
