Our Expertise: From optical design to industrial spectral analysis

At GoyaLab, we engineer spectroscopy as a direct decision-making engine. As experts in molecular and optical spectrometry, we master the entire value chain: from high-precision optomechanical simulation to real-time on-line deployment of chemometric models on production lines.

Whether through our proprietary product families or via custom turnkey OEM partnerships, we transform photonic complexity into compact, connected, and industrial-grade solutions.

1. Our core fields of excellence in spectroscopy

Our teams develop cutting-edge optical architectures (notably based on proprietary grisms and transmission diffraction gratings) spanning the full range of spectral modalities:

• UV / Visible / Near-Infrared (Vis-NIR & SWIR): High-precision absorption, transmission, and reflectance spectrophotometry (standardized 0°/45° geometries compliant with ISO 13655 M1, integrating spheres) featuring continuous sampling resolution down to 0.5 nm.

• Raman spectroscopy (532 nm & 785 nm): Compact vibrational spectroscopy modules for instantaneous molecular identification, through-barrier packaging analysis, and fluorescence-free organic compound discrimination.

• Multi-Source spectrofluorimetry (UVA 365 nm & UVC 275 nm): Ultra-sensitive trace characterization, biological autofluorescence screening, and advanced LW/SW cross-fluorescence discrimination for gemology, forensic science, and brand protection.

• High-precision spectrocolorimetry: Subtle color characterization of translucent liquids (oenology, luxury perfumery) as well as dark, dense fluids (fish oils, petrochemicals) powered by calibrated 7500 K hyperspectral LED sources.

2. Multidisciplinary engineering know-how

As a spin-off of the internationally renowned technology center ALPHANOV, GoyaLab relies on a rigorous engineering culture and the rich synergies of the French photonics ecosystem:

• Optomechanics & optical simulation: Ray tracing, diffraction modeling, custom grism angle optimization, stray light mitigation, and manufacturing tolerance analysis.

• Sensor integration & fast electronics: Deep expertise in high-sensitivity industrial CMOS image sensors (including the Sony Pregius family), precision hardware triggering electronics, and robust industrial connectivity (USB 3.0, GigE Vision, BLE, Modbus fieldbus).

• Mechanical & industrial thermal design: Rugged anodized aluminum IP54 enclosures, critical conductive heat dissipation management through mounting baseplates, and rapid prototyping (PA12 additive manufacturing, aluminum SLM).

• Application-specific light sources: Integration and active driving of wavelength-stabilized lasers and customized hyperspectral LED arrays.

3. A Comprehensive portfolio: From handheld to connected In-Line Process

Since winning the prestigious PRISM Award (recognizing our breakthrough innovation with the GoSpectro smartphone spectrometer), GoyaLab has continued to pioneer modular sensing:

• IndiGo family (Portable & Modular): A versatile line of wireless, handheld, battery-powered spectrometers with interchangeable heads (Raman, Fluorescence, Color, Transmission/Reflectance).

• T_Trace family (Multichannel Process): Industrial multichannel fiber-optic spectrometers handling 1 to 8 simultaneous optical channels (parallel sensor projection without optical multiplexing) for continuous in-line and on-line process monitoring.

• T_Trace Edge family (Smart Process): Featuring an integrated on-board industrial PC to compute chemometric predictions On-Edge and report directly to plant PLCs/SCADA systems via industrial fieldbus protocols with zero network latency.

4. Software ecosystem & Edge chemometrics

The true value of an optical sensor lies in the clarity and immediacy of the actionable data it delivers. GoyaLab provides an end-to-end software suite designed to unlock the full potential of your spectral workflows:

• SpectroLab (Free & Unlimited): Our universal instrument control and acquisition platform, providing real-time measurements, standardized file exports (Excel, SPC, TXT), and full Python API automation.

• Expert & Capture SaaS Suite:

  • Expert: A secure Cloud workspace to centralize spectral databases and build robust qualitative (PCA) and quantitative (PLS) chemometric models.

  • Capture: An edge-deployed inference engine running on handheld devices and in-line process spectrometers to deliver instantaneous Pass/Fail decisions and concentration metrics to field operators.

5. Custom OEM development & Joint engineering

Do you have a specialized analytical challenge, or do you need to embed a rugged spectroscopic sensor directly inside an industrial machine, automated sorting line, or diagnostic instrument?

GoyaLab acts as an agile, dedicated technology partner:

• Joint development of custom optical sub-assemblies and specialized optical measurement heads.

• Tailored spectral ranges, slits, gratings, and sensor configurations matched to your target matrices.

• Custom software integration and embedding of proprietary chemometric algorithms.
