PRECISION OPTO-ELECTRONICS for Spectroscopy, sLIDAR & Imaging.

Instrumentation architected for scientific time-resolved measurements.

Synertronic Designs (Founded in 2003) is a global manufacturer of high-performance Opto-Electronic measurement instrumentation, specializing in Photodiode Readout Systems (Photodiode Digitizers), custom CMOS and InGaAs linear array cameras for UV, VIZ, NIR and SWIR and data acquisition solutions.

Our LineScan Dual, with a dual CMOS sensor in a single enclosure, is a new problem-eliminating product optimized for ultrafast spectroscopy. With <13 mm sensor separation, LineScan Dual was designed specifically for reference + probe / pump-probe alignment. It eliminates complex beam folding, extra optics, and thermal drift between cameras.

We serve scientists, researchers, and engineers in spectroscopy, photonics, environmental monitoring, biotechnology, agriculture, and energy research.

Trusted by global institutions including:
Harvard University, MIT, Bern University, General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

More about us:
We design and manufacture line-scan cameras and photodiode digitizers optimized for spectroscopy, ultrafast dynamics, and synchronized optical experiments—where noise, timing, and repeatability define data quality. Our systems are engineered as measurement instruments, not generic imaging components: FPGA-based processing, ultra-low-noise analog design, and deterministic triggering and synchronization enable true shot-by-shot analysis, improving signal discrimination and measurement accuracy across complex experimental setups—at a cost point accessible to research and OEM environments.

Every device is designed to integrate cleanly into experimental systems, minimizing external hardware, alignment complexity, and software overhead. Our focus is not headline specifications, but data fidelity, synchronization, and experimental reproducibility.
