Spectrogon derives its origin partly from research conducted at the Royal Institute of Technology, a leading Swedish technical university, and partly from research and development projects at AGA AB, a former major Swedish industrial group. In 1980 we became AGA Optical, which eventually became Spectrogon in 1984. Spectrogon AB became an independent company on June 28, 1991.

Spectrogon has established operating businesses in three different countries:

• Spectrogon AB headquartered in Täby, Sweden, is housed on two sites totaling 3,600 square meters modern manufacturing facilities for thin film and grating products employing 88 persons for R&D, production, sales and marketing in Europe, Asia and Australia
• Spectrogon UK, Ltd., in Scotland, UK, is a wholly owned subsidiary employing three persons for sales and marketing in Great Britain, Ireland, France, Netherlands and Belgium
• Spectrogon US, Inc., in New Jersey, USA, is a wholly owned subsidiary and employs four persons for sales and marketing to the American photonics market

Spectrogon is a full-service independent manufacturer of optical components based in Taby, Sweden. The company serves customers in the automotive, space, medical, defense, and process control industries. Our main technologies are Thin Film Optical Coatings and Holographic Diffraction Gratings. We design and manufacture thin film filters and windows for a wide range of requirements from high end imaging systems, through precision filters for gas detection and in filter wheels, to filters “diced on tape” for commercial volume applications. We also manufacture coatings and filters on wafer level optics and IR detectors.

Our Filters span the full range from the UV, through the visible and Near Infrared, and out to approximately 20 microns in the IR. Most of our production is custom manufacture for sale to OEMs. Additional services linked to main products are quality testing and documentation, low chipping dicing (sapphire, germanium, silicon, quartz and glass), environmental testing and parts assembly. Spectrogon is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015.
