Ocean Optics - Inventor of the World's First Miniature Spectrometer

Monolithic Color Wheels

Ocean Thin Films produces a variety of patterned Monolithic Color Wheels using a proprietary Dichroic Filter Array (DFA) technology that delivers increased optical performance and better durability than traditional color-wheel technologies. With the DFA process, color wheels can be produced with micron-scale precision patterning that yields sharper, brighter colors.

Monolithic Color Wheels feature the following key innovations:
Patented methodology
Multiple color sectors available
Reduced noise
Improved optical performance
Increased durability
Monolithic patterned dichroic filter sectors
