OEM Spectroscopy Solutions Designed and Manufactured In-House
Custom spectrometers and complete spectroscopy solutions for OEM applications
Torrent Photonics develops and manufactures OEM spectrometers for customers requiring application-specific spectroscopy solutions. From custom optics and transmission gratings to electronics, firmware, interfaces and system integration, our engineering team supports OEM programs from initial development through to volume production.
Built for OEM Integration
Torrent works with OEM customers developing products that require embedded spectroscopy capabilities. Spectrometers can be tailored around specific wavelength ranges, resolution requirements, throughput targets, slit configurations and integration needs.
Customers work directly with our engineering team throughout development, allowing optical, electronic, mechanical and software requirements to be considered early in the design process.
Proven OEM Spectrometer Platforms
The Renegade UV-VIS and Renegade VIS spectrometers are OEM-ready platforms designed around Torrent’s proprietary fused silica transmission gratings. They provide a proven starting point for customers evaluating spectroscopy performance and demonstrate the capabilities available through our custom OEM spectrometer development programs.
The Renegade platforms use fused silica transmission gratings manufactured in-house by Torrent. Key optical and mechanical elements are also produced internally, demonstrating our end-to-end manufacturing approach available to OEM customers.
The compact, fiber-coupled design makes the Renegade suitable for integration into OEM instruments and provides a scalable platform for commercial manufacturing programs.
Demonstration units of the Renegade UV-VIS and Renegade VIS spectrometers are available, allowing engineers to evaluate performance before progressing to a customized OEM design.

Renegade UV-VIS
Renegade VIS
The Renegade UV-VIS spectrometer offers wavelength coverage from 190 to 850 nm, supporting applications that require deep-UV measurement capability. This includes medical and biochemical analysis, analytical instrumentation, industrial monitoring and environmental measurement.
The Renegade VIS spectrometer covers wavelengths from 355 to 785 nm. It can be integrated into OEM systems for visible spectroscopy, color measurement and applications requiring objective qualitative or quantitative spectral data.
Designed and Manufactured In-House
Torrent designs and manufactures key spectrometer components in-house, including custom transmission gratings and optics. This reduces reliance on external suppliers and provides greater control over optical performance, design flexibility, cost and production scalability.
Our approach allows us to support OEM programs from prototype development through to volume manufacture.

Work Directly with our Engineering Team
OEM customers work directly with Torrent’s engineering team from concept through production. This collaborative approach allows optical, electronic, mechanical and software requirements to be considered together rather than handled as separate stages of development.
We can customize a Renegade platform or develop a broader OEM spectroscopy solution around the wavelength range, resolution, throughput, interface and integration requirements of your application.
From Development to Volume Production
Torrent supports OEM customers moving toward commercial production. Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities provide control over critical optical components while supporting consistent performance across production quantities.
Our OEM spectrometer programs are intended for products requiring ongoing manufacture rather than individual, one-off laboratory systems.
Discuss Your OEM Spectrometer Requirements
Whether you need a customized spectrometer, a complete spectroscopy subsystem or a demonstration unit for evaluation, our engineering team can discuss the technical and production requirements of your application.
